First thing I thought when I saw The New Day stable was "Is this fucking Blue's Clues?!" First we see them in the photo with Grumpy Cat wearing Tons of Funk style Adidas longsleeve jackets and pants, and now they wear blue. I get it, it's a new day, but still it felt kind of weird. I don't really understand why whenever someone or a group of guys get repackaged, people automatically shit all over it. Come on now, give it a chance. Their debut wasn't bad or anything even though it was against Slater, Titus and Axel, who are now jobbers. Like seriously, why break Prime Time Players up? They were over. Darren and Titus were fantastic, they were in high profile tag matches and had some entertaining segments. I think with those two, it's a case of Cryme Tyme. They both suffer without each other. Titus is jobbing, Darren is out with an injury and wasn't doing anything worth of any notice. It was the same with Cryme Tyme. Shad was released not too long after and JTG was never really used (which made him the subject of many jokes and memes among fans) and yet was still on the roster. So yeah, they both suffered without each other. Slater and Axel have always suffered. Even with Paul Heyman, Axel was a total bust. Yeah, I gave that a chance and I did the same with the laptop GM when they first started the whole thing, but it just never seemed to work. I do wish that Bischoff wasn't still with TNA so that if WWE wanted to, could bring him back to power. He was great as GM of Raw back in the day. You might be surprised by this but I hated Paul Heyman as GM of SmackDown and John Laurinaitis from two weeks after WM 28 up until some time after Extreme Rules a few weeks later. Heyman showed favoritism towards Brock Lesnar his entire run and so did Laurinaitus did until Heyman came back to be the mouthpiece. I don't like the whole "showing favoritism" thing by a person in some kind of power for anyone even in things not wrestling. That's a fan's job. Anyway, I'm looking forward to Raw tonight and next week. Should be a good show.
I like what I'm seeing from The New Day, honestly. I'll admit, though, I was shitting on it before they debuted 'cause I wanted to see 'em as a heel stable, but I'm glad I was proven wrong. This thing could be fn' sweet!
I totally understand why they were put against Slater-Gator & Axel, they needed to look strong in their debut.
And for the record, blue is cool!
PTP and Cryme Tyme had the same fucking fate, it's unbelievable.
As far as the anonymous RAW GM goes, it's ridiculous. I'd be totally fine with having anyone else on that position or no one at all. WWE needs to get their shit together.
