Spirt Squad - Yay or Nay?

[JobberJoe 108]

The Spirit Squad are fantastic. It's got to be down to the sheer energy and effort these guys actually put into such a completely ridiculous gimmick that makes it work so brilliantly ! ! YEH

[Guest MrFill]

For Entertainment, the Spirit Squad are fantastic. They get into the gimmick brilliantly, they've picked the right guys for athletecism, and generally they're fantastic.

 

 

My only problem with the booking is that Kane and Show pretty much made it look like they are better than the 5 of the Squad, and it took ALL 5 of the Squad to beat them.

 

Also, HBK seems to be able to overcome the 5 of them, only the sheer weight of their numbers takes him down.

 

Last night at Backlash was a classic case of this - if HBK was fresh, I'm sure he would have beaten them off, but only because he had been batterd that they over-came him.

 

 

If they book them as a "threat" (since there are 5 of them) and not such a comedy act in the ring, then they could make a REAL difference to the way they're percieved.

There's a video on YouTube where the Spirit Squad ask C.M Punk to become their backer boy, it's hilarious, Mikey completely steals that promo. :lol

[Chris2K 176]

Nay. They suck. The gimmick sucks. End of story.

 

Stories don't end via your opinion.

 

And BIG TIME Yay.

[Guest Dickie Hyde]

Yes. Anyone who dislikes them is a jaded smark who should go bowling and stop watching WWE.

 

I dislike them as a group. I am not a jaded smark. I'm not going to go bowling and i'm not going to stop watching WWE :P

 

I'm glad they got involved with the McMahon segment, as I thought Shawn was actually going to get a dramatic win at one point.

Nah' date=' they suck, WWE booking talent in the wrong way, wasting these young guy's talent, a waste.[/quote']

 

No, they're booking them in an entertaining way rather than just having them run around as pointless, random wrestlers, with no personality.

[Guest Dickie Hyde]

Stories don't end via your opinion.

 

And BIG TIME Yay.

 

I never said stories end via my opinion. As far as i'm concerned, if they stick as a group, and stick with that gimmick, then it IS the end of the story for me... as they will get nowhere.

 

The only good it brings, is a way of getting them noticed, whether it's in a positve or negative light, they will be noticed, and then hopefully move on to greater things. (the good ones of the group that is.)

[Dead Crow 370]

They're getting a good heel reaction as part of a main event feud. I hardly call that 'getting nowhere'.

 

And of course they won't stay there forever. They're getting them over with an utterly fantastic gimmick that all five are putting their hearts into. Then when all five have become worthy enough of splitting, they'll split up, and Jeter and Doane can get the pushes they deserve.

 

For now, it's PERFECT for them.

[Ryan 188]

Jeter and Doane can get the pushes they deserve.

 

Dont forget Mikey, Draven.

 

Mikey is 5 times better than the other 4 Spirit Squad members on the mic, he may not be good at serious promo's but he can cut one hell of a funny one.

[Guest CoTT]

Meh. I'm not particularly for or against the Spirit Squad. Obviously it's a good platform for some talented rookies to start off in the WWE but with five men swapping around the tag titles, you just know their matches will be sloppy and ridiculous.

[Guest Twig]

Y-to the f-bombin' -ay!

[Guest Marc McCann]

Yay yay yay.

 

Ken Doane is awesome, Mike Mondo & Jonny Jeter great too, Mikey's hilarious! Mitch is ok as a manager but him & Nick Nemeth both suck in the ring.

 

Booked right they are brilliant to watch

[Nimf 324]

Which is the one that screams like a woman/ Nicky, isn't it?? He cracks me up-he's hyper even for the spirit squad...

[Guest jonnyelworthy]

They are hilarious! Mikey is by far the funniest! Ken only 19 aswell, insane.

[Guest Steve O]

Awesome I like them all. Great Gimmick and I love Nicky and Mikey
