They are not intimidating at all, no matter what their numbers advantage is.
Raw Underground is a cool, unique idea, but there’s two major problems with it.
1. Presentation. There’s too much “WWE formula” in it. If you’re going to do something different, go all the way different. Otherwise it just comes off as phony and manafactured. And keep Kevin Dunn far away from it.
2. It needs to be its own separate show. It makes no sense having it on a show where the regular programming sees wrestlers do ten times as much damage to each other and still get up. But after just a couple moves on raw underground, the fights are stopped. These are two very different styles of sports entertainment and they can work on their own, but when you put them on the same show, with the same people participating in both no less, it absolutely shatters kayfabe.

I agree with all of this. Retribution does not seem like a group of "tough" people. They seem like teenagers acting out for attention.
Also 100p in on Underground both being its own show and having Kevin Dunn as far away from it as possible. The camera cuts are super disorienting.
