The Legacy
 

So is this the name of the RKO/Priceless stable? If so, I like it.

Lose the "The".

Yeah, but they can't come out and say "WE ARE LEGACY"

Why not exactly?

Sure they can. It sounds better that way.

It's like Michael Jordan coming out and saying "I AM LEGACY"

I dunno, just doesn't sound right, to me anyway.

Plus, I assumed it was THE Legacy since Randy Orton said “Tonight the legacy is born.”

I don't care whether "the" is there or not. I love the name

The Legacy is a kickass name. I love it.

I can't wait for Ted Dibiase Jr. to return to make the stable complete.

Personally? I'd love for the stable in its entirety to eventually turn face. I know there's like a 0.000000000001% chance of that happening, but it would be something different.

Orton makes his boys into men. They may not like him, but they damn sure respect him...and that's what its all about.

The fans want to cheer Orton. It's obvious.

In my opinion - an Orton/Cena heel-face switch (a la Bret/Austin WM-13) would rule beyond belief if it happened at Mania.

:shifty:

If there's one thing that we can learn from past Wrestlemania main-events, it's that the fans LOVE unpredictability.

-We saw it with Austin/Bret WM-13
-We saw it when Austin did the unthinkable and sided with Vince
-We saw it when "Hulkamania" was reborn at Wrestlemania 18
-We saw it when Triple H did the 'DX' chop against Cena and was cheered heavily at Mania'.

I love it.

They loved it because Austin won the belt in Texas, but fans left in droves when Austin turned.

It will be good when Dibiase comes back, but I really think they need a guy who is somewhere between Orton and the rest... I mean, Orton is a main event player essentially hanging around with rookies.

I get that they're pure bloods, it's just... He's so far above them, I think it's going to end up looking like Orton and his lackeys.

Was Flair and HHH way too far above Orton and Bats? Worked out well there.

Orton and Batista are different though. They both had a good look/aura (Batista more than Orton). It wasn't a stretch to say that Orton or Batista would be champs someday. I highly doubt we'll ever see Cody or Manu holding the big belt.

I thought about Umaga, but he's too similar to Manu. Not the Colons, but maybe Carlito himself. He's probably the closest thing to a second generation star that the WWE has to is between Orton and the other 3.

Manu brings nothing to the table.

Manu looks... just.. out of place. He doesn't fit their "image", and he looks to out of shape/intimidating to be muscle.

Honestly though, I still think only Dibiase Jr. has a real future. I don't see Cody going higher than IC level ever. Dibiase can probably at least get a main event feud someday.

Sadly, I see Dibiase coming back as a face and catching a beatdown instead of rounding out the group. It's just WWE logic.

<font color=goldenrod>I'm thinking DiBiase will return by interfering in an Orton match against a face...fucking Orton out of the match, feigning a face turn...only for him to turn around and clock the face, joining the group and showing he was in on it the whole time.

I can see the Legacy being big. You could have Orton going for the WHW title, possibly Cody using the Raw/ECW exchange to go after the ECW title, DiBiase going for the IC title. Hell, they could even have Deuce drop his gimmick, announce his heritage, and join up as a tag specialist with Manu to go for the tag belts...though I'm pretty sure the only place he's going is the unemployment line.</font>

I don't think Manu looks too bad. Maybe because I see him as really the only guy who fills that slot (I can't see Umaga in there).

I agree about Ted. I could definitely see him as a main-event guy in the future. I can also see Cody continuing to suck cock in the ring and fail at cutting promos.

I think what they've done with CAWdy has more or less gotten him over as an arrogant second generation wrestler. He doesn't particularly stand out as somebody who is going to dominate the main event, but he is poised to back up Orton. I agree that Manu doesn't really fit; probably because his dad is a tag competitor. They pretty much need to flesh out the rest of the group as more than Orton's lackys.

I don't think Cody's so bad in the ring. Actually, I think he's pretty good.

But like somebody else asked...what's so different about Dibease? I like him, but I don't see why he has a much better chance than Cody.

What is Doink the Clown, Jr. up to these days?

Dibiase has a great look and is a pretty good mind in the ring. Something none of the other lackies can say imo.

His name carries the most "weight".

I doubt that matters. Nobody gave that much of a fuck about "Cowboy" Bob Orton...did they?

And where is DH Smith through all this?

He's gearing up for a return with TJ Wilson.

Bingo. That's exactly where I see it going. Ted DiBiase returns as a face, and they use it to make him stand out for a bit, and perhaps to promote The Marine 2 on DVD. Cena, DiBiase and maybe a guy like Batista form the "Anti-Legacy" face group, but then DiBiase sells them down the river to return back to his roots, and develops some heat of his own as a potential rising star in the heel ranks.

Let me just say this, though: I think we are beyond Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase as a tag team. They have already been made to stand out separately (somewhat), and they've held the World Tag Team Championship twice together, defeating John Cena & Batista for the belts once. I just can't see a reason to move them back onto Rhodes & DiBiase. They won't get anything from it. I believe it is time to move each of them in different directions.

This is correct, and this is where I think he would be best suited. A tag team run with TJ Wilson as The Stampede Bulldogs on SmackDown! could be very cool. The matches with Carlito & Primo would be fun, and it gives Natalya something to do (managing her cousin and her boyfriend). I see them as the WWE Tag Team Champions and WWE Divas Champion at some stage -- and I see it ruling.
