I never got Nation vibes from The Pride.

Just cause they were black and put their fists in the air doesn’t mean they were tryna be the Nation

I never got nation vibes from them at all until you just said this :slip:

But really the gimmick itself was never fleshed out, we can't say they were trying to be the nation bc we weren't ever told what they were trying to be in the first place so you're not wrong

Even to the extent that I have to be reminded they're even called The Pride, I always forget they have a name

I only said it cause the previous post was “I felt like they were tryna be the new nation”

Like the only similarities were the ones I listed

They can barely book the tag titles.

I would hope Hunter is smart enough to know 6-man’s wouldn’t work

I think he's finally figured out that you don't need Emmy stories, just time allotted to let teams do their thing for a tag division.

I've still yet to see 6 man tags ever work outside of Mexico so I don't have faith there

Trios matches just don't work in the US without a story attached most of the time, and there's barely enough time on RAW, let alone SmackDown, to have tag stories.

Dale hit it on the head, it just doesn't work in America.

IDK why. But 6 mans just ain't it

Lashley and Profits, that run was so disappointing. A lot of potential that we never got to see through

I wouldn't be surprised if Lashley shows up at All In. He could wrestle 20-30 times a year for AEW and be a big enough name to help

Kinda sad that the only two thi,gs I'll remember Tamina for were her flings with Santino and Tozawa.

Tamina helped get Punk back on Raw so now they don't need her anymore
