Update on "the band"

[CM Punk]

Drew is so overrated in my opinion. I'm ready for the hate I'll receive for that, but I've not seen the qualities that make him so loved.

He's quite good inside the ring I think.

 

[Snowman1]

Aww, but I like Slater in his current jobber role... he's so damn epic. Why change it? Why actually push the guy?

Mahal's new ring style is working surprisingly well and the guy can get heat, and most of us agree this Mcintyre push is long overdue.

Although "The Band"... uggggghhhhhhh go away 2010 NWO reunion memories...

 

[Wacokid27]

Slater as the spokesman, McIntyre as the leader, Mahal as the evil foreigner.

I can see this being either very good or very bad.

Either way, it should be entertaining.

I think this is a brilliant move by wwe. these guys have been underused and its a way to get 3 deserving people into a good storyline

 

[Stopspot]

The new stable on SmackDown with Jinder Mahal, Heath Slater and Drew McIntyre, appears to have settled on the name “Encore” for their new group. They have been tweeting this weekend, talking about they are going to take over WWE.

They have a name. Not that bad a name actually

OK name. If they do this right it could be pure gold.

 

[Lacky]

Encore? :facepalm:

 

[Snowman1]

Encore? Meh. But avoiding an NWO reunion reference is only a good thing. They'll probably just lose a 3-on-1 handicap match to Brodus and go back on Superstars, but man... If this goes somewhere...

 

[Lacky]

This has the potential to be something, just let's hope creative don't mess it up.

I can already see Slater doing his comedy stuff with McIntyre and Mahal shaking their heads in disapproval. 1:
