What do you think about the Usos?
 
They're clearly capable of working great matches, but I just can't fully get into them. I don't know if it's the lame gimmick or what. I'm assuming the push is coming from the Total Divas show, but do you think it will continue on after that?

I remember enjoying their characters when they first debuted. They were basically saying that they were the anti-typical Samoans, and I thought that could have worked, but they didn't really get much of a chance to do anything with that. Now, they're...typical Samoans. Exactly what they were originally saying they didn't want to be, and it's very MEH.

I'm rambling now. Say anything you want to about the Usos.

They're not bad

Tazz Dan 08-15-2013 04:57 AM

High Energy > Uso's > Power & Glory

Rammsteinmad 08-15-2013 05:00 AM

I can watch them, but I don't get all pissy if they're not on the show.

It's pointless either way, coz whatever recent push they're getting now will either be given to another tag team soon enough, or will just vanish again after this recent attempt at a tag team resurgence dies down.

Skippord 08-15-2013 05:22 AM

I think they're pretty good at actually wrestling

otherwise they're whatever

Hanso Amore 08-15-2013 05:37 AM

I hate the stupid look they have

Fake pleather tag of sorts in the back pocket? Lame

Hanso Amore 08-15-2013 05:41 AM

Besides cosmetics I feel exactly the same as thrilla.

I think the we say ooo you say oooohhh is a good Schtick that's about all I can say about that.

They're not bad in the ring at all, but they stink of jobberdom.

Shadrick 08-15-2013 06:53 AM

I really like them. When WWE got more into social media I was able to see that they actually have really dope personalities. I wish they got more camera time, I'd be game for it.

XL 08-15-2013 07:05 AM

Dispite what others say, they are over - or as over as a tag team can be in the current climate. The "We say Us"/"You say O" thing does get a reaction. However, much like Thrilla, I feel there is nothing to hook an audience into them, they have just become a slighly more modern version of the Wild Samoans.

Maybe they need to mention that they're Samoan a bit more?

Chavo Classic 08-15-2013 07:07 AM

They're stuck with a horrible gimmick that stinks of the 90's, but like everyone has alluded to so far, they can wrestle.
With a total make-over and some consistent matches against strong opposition there's no reason why they couldn't be a draw.

ron the dial 08-15-2013 08:16 AM

i've always enjoyed their matches and think they have a good look, i just haven't been given a reason to care. and total divas is still not a reason. if they can keep the momentum going and put them in a meaningful feud, i would have no problem supporting them. as it stands, i'm still waiting for more.

Cuse8 08-15-2013 08:49 AM

i really dig their intro.

outside of kane theyre the only other wrestler right now who has pyro.. i think?

The Condor 08-15-2013 10:13 AM

They're Alright, I just don't have a reason to care. Jey (or Jimmy?) dating Naomi doesn't make me care any more or any less.

Brock, Kofi, Big Show (only when face), Jericho when he's around, not sure if RVD still has it.

Emperor Smeat 08-15-2013 12:17 PM

Decent tag team but suffer the same lack of real direction almost every team has because of the weak division.

So does "What's Up?!", but R-Truth keeps jerkin' that curtain.

Volare 08-15-2013 02:08 PM

Too much up down time with them, they're hot, they're gone, they're jobbing, they're pushed...I mean damn.

bigslimjj 08-15-2013 02:12 PM

I think they need to adopt the double stink face into their arsenal. Then they got something.

Lock Jaw 08-15-2013 02:16 PM

I like them. They put on good matches. Of course, they are forever going to be stuck in a division that the WWE has treated as an afterthought for years.

I have noticed that they are getting more over with the crowd (probably due to them actually appearing on the main shows now). Before when they would do the "When we say U, ya'll say SO" thing and it would get like zero reaction. Now people actually do it.

Curtis 08-15-2013 02:35 PM

I think that when they say U! I say SOs! And when they say SOS! I think U suck ass go back to samoa u faaat asses, Scott Steiner gonna destroy u in a tag team match in WcW Saturday Night Live action Dough Basham doughboy ghostbusters.

WHAT?

Curd 08-15-2013 08:36 PM

The Usos would get more heat if they had a more dramatic double team finisher such as Jimmy holding the opponent in a vertical suplex while Jey does a top-rope cross body (seeing how Jey tends to climb the ropes more often).

Curd 08-15-2013 08:44 PM

They should seriously turn into arrogant heels who smugly call out their catchphrase "Oooh-" (pause for boos) "-Sooohs!" similar to how 2003 heel Rock timed his speech.

The Usos can turn by criticizing Tons of Funk for "mocking the athleticism of our sport" with their "asinine dancing" and maybe mock them in a skit. Then, have a dance contest of Usos' haka or whatever their dance is called versus Brodus and Tensai getting funky.

The latter obviously win the popularity contest but are destroyed by the Usos. They face at a PPV, and the Usos win by a hair!

screech 08-15-2013 08:44 PM

They're great in the ring. Other than that, meh. I was watching main event yesterday and was wondering when we'd see a double stink face come into play.

Wake Up Call 08-15-2013 09:28 PM

The way I see it, there is no tag division, so how can one evaluate this tag team as opposed to any other, which there are none.

Hmmm?

there aren't any other tag teams? huh?

i really want to like the OOOOOOO- SOOOOOOs
but like stated above they have the stink of jobberdom. the stupid face paint doesn't help either.

Savio 08-16-2013 05:59 PM

Jimmy sucks (Jey's A'ight)

parkmania 08-16-2013 06:12 PM

The haka they do is part of the reason I can't get into them.

Pretty much this. There's no direction with the division as a whole and I can't see them as anything other than jobbers which is a shame because I enjoy them.

Corporate CockSnogger 08-16-2013 06:29 PM

They stole Billy Gunn's colour scheme. Fire them.

Corndad 08-16-2013 07:04 PM

The Pre-show match they had with the Shield at MITB was fantastic. They can go in the ring if given the time but that seems to be the problem with any Tag Team now, just not given the time to get over. One month they got a hot push, the next jobbing out on Main Event. Its tough to get behind that but if given a solid push could see them at least holding the Titles for a little bit.

Tommy Gunn 08-17-2013 06:01 AM

When we say job you say 'bers!

mike adamle 08-17-2013 06:14 AM

Although I did enjoy their match with The Shield I think it was due to The Shield being awesome. I'll forever think of them as a poor man's Headshrinkers. Also think their splashes off the top rope are some of the ugliest moves I've ever seen.

#1-norm-fan 08-17-2013 06:33 AM

If there was a legit tag division, they'd be a pretty fucking sweet addition. As it stands, they just exist in the wrong time. I wish to see them feud with Demolition or The Quebecers.

Mr. Nerfect 08-17-2013 11:10 PM

I like The Usos enough. They have good matches and personalities. I just don't care about them as much as I could, especially compared to other teams the WWE has. I'd like their interactions with The Real Americans to continue.

Mr. Nerfect 08-17-2013 11:11 PM

I've entertained the idea of Jack Swagger & Antonio Cesaro coming out with custom belts and declaring themselves "the United States Tag Team Champions." The Usos could get a US Tag Team Title reign before putting them on the line against the real Tag Team Champions and "unifying" the titles.

Curd 08-18-2013 06:11 AM

The Usos should wear tribal masks while doing their 'thang...

...errr...

...their HAKA! :)
