Not sure how I feel about Shelton and Gable as a tag team. On one hand, I do really like Shelton, and I feel the internet has wrongfully abandoned him as one of the best workers WWE has bell-to-bell. And I see lots in Gable. I HATE the idea of Gable just being shoved with another guy that is sort of meant to remind you of Jordan (you know that's what WWE was thinking), but I think they have gelled incredibly well, aesthetically. I like their theme and attire scheme. I don't like them as heels, as they have always been babyfaces in my heart.
It feels...lateral. Completely lateral. I'm sure Gable is learning heaps and it's a blast, but it just doesn't feel right to put Gable in another tag team with a black amateur wrestler with less personality than him. Maybe if there was more of a journey to them as a team? Benjamin plays more of a grizzled vet and that relationship is explained. It just feels like "Not Quite American Alpha." Dunno. Not entirely on board. Have a feeling they are getting the SmackDown Tag Titles though, so good for them.
