I think he's good, but to a degree.

I think I mostly like him because he doesn't look like a miniature version of Randy Orton, unlike the rest of the stable

That's actually very true. Both DiBiase and Rhodes have reminded me of Orton. I quite like Rhodes, though, and I'm sure DiBiase will grow on me.

I'm just going to say it: I want to see Chavo Guerrero and "Jesse" from Jesse & Festus join The Legacy.

Chavo Guerrero is building towards something. Well, I hope so, anyway. He's a great worker, and is going to waste as Vickie Guerrero's coffee boy. He's been put in these sympathetic positions where it makes you crave for a face turn, but they've also used him so inconsistently (sometimes he looks like a guy they want to push, and other times he looks like an enhancement talent), that I just don't think a face turn would work.

Chavo can appear on RAW, given the RAW/ECW talent exchange, so it's not too much of a stretch. He adds a veteran presence to the group, and can help Cody Rhodes, Manu & Sim Snuka "learn." At first I thought he would distract from the group, but now I think he could fit snugly into a tier between Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes -- possibly even winning the ECW Title again.

As for Jesse? With Festus' weaknesses being more and more exposed over time (I mean in the kayfabe, bell-ringing sense), I can see Jesse getting "fed-up," ringing the bell on Festus himself one day, and then beating the crap out of him. Jesse can reveal himelf to be the son of Terry Gordy, and his name to be "Jesse Gordy." The WWE can then let Festus be the gimmick and Gordy be the wrestler, with the latter eventually going over to the RAW/ECW side of things.

Personally? I think 4 is the ideal number for a stable. I would only recommend '5' if one of them was a full-time manager.

Maybe not has-beens, per se, but I could definitely see an "anti-Legacy" stable kicking in -- based on the concept of hard work, and the like.

I'm not sure what is going on with Hardcore Holly, but for all of the things that make him an asshole, he is a pretty decent talent and someone that could play a very over part of the program. Sticking him in a tag team with Goldust would be hilarious, too. It'd actually have the straight man/comedic gold duality of a BookDust combination, too. Ted DiBiase could lead the group, furious that Orton kicked him in his head. Goldust thus gives DiBiase's "The Marine 2" a positive review when he looks at it in an issue of "Goldust in the Aisle."

CM Punk has seemingly moved on with his life after being kicked in the head by Orton, but Kofi Kingston could still use the exposure of a feud with Orton and co. If not him, then maybe Charlie Haas? He's experienced, now over, and has a past relationship with Hardcore Holly.

I say include as many of the next generation stars as possible and make them into a gang, taking over all brands of the WWE, nWo style. I'm not saying have them spray paint people, or throw Mysterio into a trailer like a lawn dart (though it's not a bad idea), but to have that gang mentality where they want to control everything.

With Vince McMahon gone, Shane and Stephanie are left to try and control Orton and his insanity. We then go with the big swerve as Shane turns on Steph and joins The Legacy; a third generation superstar himself.

Of course this leads to a huge feud with the Legacy against the rest of the roster, and the return of Vince McMahon to join the faces and end the brand split.

Hmmmmmmmmmm, not sure I like the idea of the group expanding ad infinium.

As it stands we have:

Orton
Rhodes
Manu

We could see Snuka join in the coming weeks and the possibility of DiBiase joining (which I personally would prefer him to do rather than fued with them) and you guys have suggested the following:

Carlito
Primo
Jesse
Chavo
Reid Flair
DH Smith

That's a lot of lower card/not very over talent there. I think they run the risk of watering the concept down by adding too many names to it. I particularly wouldn't wanna see Chavo join - the guy is a veteran himself and thus doen't project the same image as the other members.

I would like to see Natalya join (if they don't run with a New Hart Foundation (or would that be New New Hart Foundation?) as I think a stable should be looking to dominate across the company.

Have Orton gun for the WWE/World Title, Rhodes/DiBiase aiming for the IC, Rhodes/DiBiase/Snuka & Manu go for the Tags and Natalya for the Women's Championship.

Oh, here's another thought/topic for discussion.

How about Shane McMahon joining the group in a managerial type role. Using The Legacy to seize control of the company from his father.

If they did go out all the way with the "gang trying to seize control of the WWE in its entirety" thing, I'd definitely add Chavo Guerrero to the group. I'd probably add Jesse Gordy, DH Smith, TJ Wilson & Natalya from SmackDown!, as well.

Sim Snuka joining on RAW makes sense, and eventually they should get backing from either Shane or Stephanie McMahon, this is true. One random addition I'd like to throw in, even though he's not second/third generation (which some feel might ruin things) is Gavin Spears. Not in any sort of meaningful sort of role. I just think the guy has some talent in him, and they could pass him off as Cody Rhodes' friend, like they did in developmental. He'd basically be the sponge of the group, getting his ass kicked by CM Punk when Cody Rhodes is not available, for example.

How would everyone feel about marketing someone who is not actually a 2nd generation star as one? For example, have someone play Randy Savage's son.

So far everyone is legitamately the offspring of a famous wrestler, would you feel that the concept was watered down if they went the route I'm looking at?

It wouldn't make a difference to the casual fan as they'll believe what they're told.

Well, not really. These guys would kayfabe be related. Like including Finlay and Hornswoggle in the group, even though Hornswoggle is in no way really related to Finlay.

For some reason, I have the impression that when TJ Wilson is brought up to team with DH Smith, that he will be presented as a member of the Hart family. Like a distant cousin, or something.

I'm not for the idea, per se, but it could be sort of interesting. I'd mark out for a guy calling himself "Ric Bockwinkel" and claiming to be related to both Ric Flair and Nick Bockwinkel somehow. Someone with a fair bit of talent to their name, though.

If Trevor Murdoch were around, he looks enough like some of the old-school wrestlers to pull of being related to one of them.

End of the day wrestlers are actors portraying characters to the masses, would it be so out of the box to think that WWE would ask one of their guys to portray themselves as the son of a legendary wrestler.

Like I said, I'm by no means behind the idea, I just thought it is one many options that WWE has open and may well opt to take.

Besides, Vincent and Stevie were added to nWo and I'd hardly say they "killed" the concept.
