I haven’t heard that term once

Me either. Just on insta.

 

[The Gipper]

I hope they don't because The Pride is such a shit name

 

[The Gipper]

Screams generic 2k tag team ring announcer name.

 

[JakeYourBooty]

Do they even go by Pride anymore?

Santana served them a cease & desist

 

[Smart Marx]

Fab might still need some work, but that bicycle kick is a thing of beauty.

It’s better than just not having a name.

She’s got the legs for it

 

[Smart Marx]

She’s got the legs for it

She sure do.

 

[Cwalker]

I don’t think I’ve heard them called “The Pride” once on television

 

[Smart Marx]

Sounds like another situation like with Cesaro and kid where they had a team name but TV didn’t want to use it for whatever reason.

 

[Cwalker]

What was their team name? I don’t remember it

 

[JakeYourBooty]

Hurt Prophets is right there

 

[Smart Marx]

What was their team name? I don’t remember it

The brass Ring club, which I thought was pretty clever at the time.

Thinking about it though I can see why Vince might’ve not wanted it on his TV.

nah this feels like an official name they're just dropping. The talent never even use it lol

These little details like Carlito not wearing the LWO shirt in this segment is what makes storytelling work so well. If you can’t nail down those types of things it’s not gonna work.
