Do the Spirit Squad really deserve the push they're getting?
I'd like to start this and say that, while I HATE them, I can understand why some people can get a kick out of them.
However, they have main evented or have had a main event segment for more than half of the past 5 months of RAWs, they are the tag champs and are probably main eventing Vengeance. Why, may I ask, are these men the center of RAW? Sure, they may be entertaining to some, and sure, they're some good talents, but in now way do they deserve as much of a push as they are getting. I would have left them in the upper-mid card at best, with the same gimmick, minus McMahon. Not getting WWE title shots and wrestling Triple H and Shawn Michaels every week. I do understand that they tie into the McMahons' angle, but shit, they couldn't come up with some guys with better gimmicks than "random annoying cheerleading cunts"? So, I ask you, why are these men one of the bigger focuses of the RAW brand? ![]() |

I'm as big a Spirit Squad fan as there is on this board, but there's no way they should be main eventing as much as they are. They're usually one of the most entertaining segments on RAW, but there's only so many times you can have Vince punish someone by sticking them in a 5-on-1 match before it gets really old.
They're the Tag Team Champions, so why not use the heat they've garnered to help - and this is a radical idea, so bear with me - get the Tag Team Titles over. Their credibility has been established because of these matches, so let them use the rub they got from Vince to help get someone else over. Build the tag division back up. Lately, though, they haven't had much of a chance to do what they do best (annoy the crap out of people with poorly-synchronized cheers and pull off crazy spots) and are either just being fodder to make Triple H look good or are doing gang beatdowns consisting of punches, kicks, legdrops, and their "parachute" move. So, I think they're deserving of a push, since they're talented and entertaining, but they shouldn't be in the position they've been in for the last month or so. |

Now, if there were two or more other factions (DX doesn't count), then I could buy them main eventing, but only with the other factions, and even then not as much as now. |

They were easy to make as vinces henchmen, but after vengence these 5 on 1/ 5 on 2 matches have to stop.

Arguing for the SS, looking at the Raw roster, are there any other heel wrestlers who are as over the SS are? Edge probably but he's in a feud with Cena right now. Orton but he just got moved to Raw so he wasn't an option. I find it refreshing that guys like them are getting the role of being Vince and Shane's lackeys as opposed to the usual suspects like Snitsky and Masters.
Do they deserve the push? Maybe not but I can't see anyone else on the brand who is more deserving. |

What's your definition of "over"? Because every week they don't exactly get a strong reaction.

To me they seem to get a better heel reaction than any other guys besides Edge and the McMahons. That's just the way I'm seeing it.

I personally like the fact that Spirit Squad is main eventing. They're funny and their wrestling is good...they've probably produced better main events for me than WWE has done in a while...so I'm not complaining.

I like them in the main event, but only occasionally. They could be doing so much more. Why haven't we seen a member of The Spirit Squad take on Charlie Haas or Carlito? I salivate and become hard at the thought of a Spirit Squad vs. Paul London & Brian Kendrick Tag Team Championship Unification Match.

I'm all for it. I think the Spirit Squad are awesome! As long as they stay together as a team I'd love to see them pushed.

The reason they're main eventing is because there's really not much else going on.
