Nah.
If it tanks, I'll just have to acknowledge that the gimmick just didn't have a wide enough appeal. Of course, since that won't happen...
But I sincerely hope that JR doesn't go out of his way to bury them vocally like he did La Resistance. Dupree and Grenier (and later Conway/Grenier) could have been the saviors of the RAW tag division the way that MNM have helped buoy the SD division.
But, since they were BAHGAWDUNAMERICANHEELS, JR rarely acknowledged their in-ring skills and instead talked about how everyone hated them and didn't respect them. So, shocker of shockers, fans took JR's cue that these guys must suck, and down down down the card they went.
Lance Storm shared a similar fate when JR played along with the "boring" chants that Austin started. "Hey, if JR says the guy is boring, why should I care about him?"
I'm not asking for him to act like the Spirit Squad are the best thing going on RAW (although I'd personally rank them just behind the Trish/Mickie angle), but if he could actually acknowledge the fact that they're talented performers, but he just doesn't like them, that's all I ask. None of this "How the hell can you like these guys, Coach?" garbage.
