Ten years ago - they would of just taken the free heat.

For real, it’s quite a different world now, I don’t know how we got up the point of people being offended by every little thing. If it helps with a push, hell yeah, I’d take it, free AND easy.

Lmao god T-Bar can't take a joke can he? But on a serious note, if they didn't like it then why retweet it and give far more publicity then it would have had then if they had just ignored it? Not a smart move.

The way djacovic and Mia look at it is any publicity is good publicity, keep them in the news as retribution suck big time, they're fucking awful a as unit the names are even worse fucking T-Bar a wtf, mace aswell is a shite name get the fuck out of the way and go retribution members I read impact are hiring.

Think his point is he'd rather be called a stupid ass name like T-Bar in a group nobody likes. ....but in no fucking way will he ever want to be compared to those morons who stormed the Capitol.

Please dude, Impact actually been getting better recently we don't want these dweebs showing up thank you :lol ! I would feel more sorry for the group if it wasn't for the fact they could have refused the stupid ass gimmick like Mercedes Martinez did, plus T-bar or whatever seem to be quick to try insult others on twitter yet can't take any stick back. So fuck em.

I think the point is that they don’t want to be compared to the folks that stormed the capitol, they don’t want to be compared to the nazis and white supremacists that stormed the capitol.

I don’t blame them for not wanting to be compared to that nonsense either.

I get that, but they should have just said that in the tweet "Hey don't compare us to these fuck nugget Nazis, cheers". Or better yet, not given them any free publicity by ignoring it in the first place.

I feel the bigger point is that they're comparing RETRIBUTION to the rioters at the capitol (and they're heels anyways). No one is comparing Ali, Dijak, Yim, Thorne and Maddin as humans to the rioters. It's just silly to me to take that personally. Imagine Joaquin Phoenix getting upset over someone comparing a real life nutcase to the Joker.

Joaquin Phoenix was worried some nutcase would be compared to the Joker. ...should still be worried.

Breh u know I was just jesting, it's how we got to know each other three year ago through impact, aye they would be shite as retribution characters but as themselves be good addictions not madden or Ali, but Mia and Donovan, Mercedes is shit full stop, her stupid gimmick the high collar is crap with the mask on is a improvement in nxt bro.

People constantly blame Vince and Creative for WWE’s horrible product, but an even bigger problem is the snowflake untalented roster.

They may have a fragility problem but I often see things the other way around. The only saving grace of Raw and Smackdown at times is the sheer talent of the roster overcoming some horrendously stale and uninspired booking.

Funny how when something gets "over" (a foreign concept since NOTHING in rasslin is "over") it's the talent who did it.....not the people who "booked" what said talent did.

But when something bombs.....which seems to be everything.....the talent receives no blame and it's always the one who "booked" it.

Doesn't help a majority of vocal people didn't even bother to give this a chance.

Then it really didn't help when it still fucking sucked, even after Ali was introduced and many people were more willing to give it a shot.

If they had just got some big Ws at some point, I do think opinion could have been swayed.
