New Day has to be considered one of the most successful factions of all-time in wrestling, between longevity, overness, hosting Mania, a WWE film, KofiMania, up up down down

What about where it counts though? Memorable feuds, stories? They have been together for 7 years and it’s just one big blur (like most of WWE is)
They are stale and less and less people are watching the product.
I actually think that rather than being hailed as a success, they are symbolic or where things have gone wrong. They don’t try things anymore and teams like this are just allowed to stay together, year after year, doing the same shit they have always done.
7 years for a faction is insane, and all I can remember are numerous Big E suicide dives and a clumsy Kofi title run.

Better puzzles and traps, better gore, etc. etc.
It's the whole interactive bit that has me interested. I remember Final Destination 3 doing that and while it was an absolute train wreck it was weirdly entertaining being able to interact with it.

Fond memories of feuds vs The Wyatt Family and vs The Usos....

It was neat with Bandersnatch, but that too, wore off quickly. Its just me.

Wyatts, the Shield, and Usos. I liked their matches with Anderson and Gallows too. KofiMania was huge. Big E now has the belt. How often do two guys in the same stable become the champion? I dunno, they have done a lot. I also think moments are more important than feuds and New Day has a ton of moments.

Pretty often. Especially now that there’s two “world” titles.
If you’re making a fair assessment of how successful they are I think you need perspective. If there’s still just one world champion, does Kofi or Big E have a reign under their belt? That’s gotta be a MUCH smaller point in their favor than a Flair title reign is in The Horsemen’s favor, for example.

They would have to have endearing Characters that the people love.

By that logic no one is successful because there are two world titles.
People can be successful. You just can’t honestly consider winning a world title as much of an accomplishment when gauging their success anymore. That’s the situation they make when they have two world titles. It matters less. Especially when the other world champion is clearly “the guy”.
