The ring wasn't always four-sided, you know.

CSL 10-13-2012 04:14 PM

Dixie Carter should probably just sue at this point

drave 10-13-2012 04:30 PM

Lets not forget talent that has flip/flopped, they should all be sued and are all traitors with no loyalty kkthxbai :foc:

Ultra Mantis 10-13-2012 05:06 PM

Drew and Mahal look so awkward there. It's like when Curt Hawkins came out for that stripper gimmick and was all :( while copying Rex's dance routine in his tiny pants.

ClockShot 10-13-2012 05:46 PM

Totally called this tag team name in the Raw thread a few weeks back.

They should dress up as the Blues Brothers and just say that line.

This is so bad that it's wonderful lol

Tremendous. I like that all three guys are so different. It makes their alignment awkward, but that's part of the glory. When they break-up, I expect that Drew McIntyre could get a nice serious face push out of it, and Mahal and Slater can go back to doing whatever they want.

Slater has really upped his game to make this thing work as well as he can, too. The guy is far better than what people give him credit for. He's a dude that can do corkscrew pescados and moonsaults, but he doesn't, because he understands that movements need to have purpose. He was on the ball during that match.

I'm hoping that we get Slater, Mahal & McIntyre beating down Team Hell No after they retain the WWE Tag Team Championship at Hell in a Cell. I don't see a combination of Heath Slater and The Chosen Ones beating them for the titles, but they would make great stop-gap challengers.

Whatever happened to Trent Baretta? he'd be perfect for this instead of Mahal.

I think The Band is great. Slater's confidence on the mic is getting even better, and I'm glad that Mahal and McIntyre are getting more air time.

Pintint 10-14-2012 02:20 PM

I think "The Band" can use some fans/groupies. Give the jobbers something to do. Well, the other jobbers...

Pintint 10-14-2012 02:20 PM

Also they need a chick...who's a divas thats not doing anything?

CSL 10-14-2012 02:44 PM

all of them?

Good idea, ALL the diva's need to follow The Band around trying to get some attention from sexy, sexy, Drew McIntyre.

CSL 10-14-2012 03:01 PM

"The Pied Piper of Bitches" as a prefix does have a certain ring to it

In believe you mean "Where's Trent?"

KyleEmmott 10-14-2012 05:43 PM

It's called "Encore" not " The Band".......

Ahem. They prefer to be called "hos."

Mr. Nerfect 10-17-2012 06:00 PM

Drew McIntyre looks amazing with their new look. He is a seriously sexy man, and is now showing some personality.

Ultra Mantis 10-17-2012 06:51 PM

Noid really does take fantasy booking to the next level.

Lock Jaw 10-17-2012 07:12 PM

Noid Amping up the Gay

Skippord 10-17-2012 08:04 PM

nothing gay about recognizing Drew McIntyre's beauty

SlickyTrickyDamon 10-17-2012 11:31 PM

Heath Slater's new finisher is pretty sick too. Does it have a name? I coin it the Whammy Bar.

If each individual of the Brothers of Dysfunction* can be "the tag team champions", then this works.

Also, these guys are perfect to re-introduce the "Freebird rule" to the titles <s>if</s> when they win them.




*I refuse to call them by their name. Hell no! I didn't mean that as their name, I meant it as... nevermind. Point is, posters here were more clever and creative than... well... Creative. I'll stick with that.

I mentioned this the other day, and I get clowned on for dissing "Murderface Mahal".

Also, that other pic of the 3 of them backstage that was elsewhere... in that one, Drew looked less like X-Pac and more like Juventud. Couldn't find the original post to side-by-side the pics, though. :(

St. Jimmy 10-18-2012 02:32 AM

Next to Ryback these 3 jobbers are the worst thing on WWE programming.

According to Wikipedia, it's called E-Minor.

Exactly right.

Heath Slater used to call his Reverse DDT the "E-Minor," so I guess his Snapmare Driver might get the same name. That Slater has a finishing move makes me very happy, because it means he can win matches now.

Mr. Nerfect 10-18-2012 03:16 AM

Drew McIntyre looked a lot like John Morrison with his hair done the way he had it. I kind of miss Morrison. He'd be great for this heel group, as well, should they decide to "get a drummer."

MoFo 10-18-2012 09:26 AM

All this needs is Slater to jack Jarrett's guitar smashing gimmick and its perfect.

ron the dial 10-18-2012 10:52 AM

this is a horrendous group that i don't understand the love on here for. drew mcintyre, maybe. but not in this context. jesus is this going to be a fucking trainwreck. "we are music!" what? how exactly does that work?

Cool King 10-18-2012 11:10 AM

I'm happy I'm not the only guy who isn't "feeling" this group.

I'm not a fan.

I was absolutely loving Slater during his singles run and Mahal was good too. Now, this whole "3MB" business is putting me off Slater. When they come to the ring, all I see is just a randomly thrown together group, pretty much like what you got during the story modes on the SmackDown games.

They seem to be going down the route of music being what brought them together, but in no way have I seen music come into play with Mahal and McIntyre's characters since they both debuted. Both guys look extremely out of place, air-guitaring and don't get me started on the leather jackets.

Out of all of them, McIntyre looks the most out of place. He's been this evil and conniving Scotsman since his debut, slowly walking to the ring and cutting promos but now all of a sudden he's jumping about like he's high on Prozac, air-guitaring and rocking out. I don't know what he's aiming to achieve with his new found energy but it just doesn't work with me. I think he looks a bit stupid doing it.

ron the dial 10-18-2012 11:12 AM

slater was entertaining in his solo run because it was so awful you had to laugh. never thought of him as anything more, and to have it parlayed into his leading a group is ridiculous to me. jinder mahal has no personality, and drew mcintyre is competely out of place. it just feels too forced to be anything but a failure.

Skippord 10-18-2012 11:19 AM

I think I only enjoy it because I love Drew McIntyre and want him on television. Also Jinder Mahal air guitaring in a turban was pretty incredible

ron the dial 10-18-2012 11:20 AM

i love mcintyre, too, which is what makes this even harder to watch. just doesn't seem to fit him at all. maybe he can grow into it, but that seems like a tall order.

Skippord 10-18-2012 11:33 AM

Maybe this is just to see if he can pull off a really dumb gimmick so they push him :'(

He should smash people over the head with Air Guitars.

The VH1 Behind the Music special will explain all!

Also, Harmonix is missing an opportunity to market its Rock Band franchise with the WWE.
