Spirt Squad - Yay or Nay?

[Guest Reality Checked]

I say yay! They have plenty of potential, they can all talk on the mic (from what we've heard. Just need to practice those 'cheers' a bit.) They are starting to get over with the fans and are starting to establish themselves as Tag Team Champions! What do you all think?

[Guest Dickie Hyde]

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

[Ryan 188]

I like Mikey & Johnny, the rest are just....Meh, its obvious the Spirit Squad arnt going to be a stable forever so when they eventually do split up and if they all survive the next huge roster cut i'd definatly want Mikey & Johnny to stay up on the Main Roster, as for the other 3, like i said, Meh.

[Guest Boyo]

I say yay, they entertain me.

 

They'd also make great Bond villains.

 

Cheers!

[Guest Nemesis Enforcer]

I say yay if they kept in time during the cheers, it is annoying to me whe nthey are all out of sinc together, sort that and its a yay as they are funny to see :D

[Guest porridge]

Yay Yay Yay!

[Guest Jack]

I'm a massive Ken Doane fan, but aside from him, the rest are pretty decent aswell. On their own, it's only really Jeter I would care about, but together, they work well I would say.

 

But Doane is special. By far the best potential WWE has had in many, many years. If you compared him to The Rock, or Steve Austin at 19, there would be no comparison at all. He is by far the most talented all-rounder of the bunch in the Spirit Squad, and will certainly go far. He has no real faults. He may not be the finished article in the ring, or even on the mic (Though he is really good on it), but when you think he could have 16 years till he is in his prime, it's ridiculous to think how good he can be. At the moment he is't at the top end of the WWE in terms of talent, but he is really close to it. I'd probably have him around 15 right now, which is saying something.

 

If one member breaks out from the Spirit Squad, it will be Doane. He has far more to bring to the table than either of his partners.

[Fidel Cashflow 130]

Doane is amazing.

 

Trained by Killer Kowalski since the age 12, and which other Kowalski student is in the "E".

 

Yup, HHH.

 

Doane has charisma, in-ring skills, and a BRIGHT future.

 

All he needs is his own finisher and we have the next big one.

 

"Golden Boy" Ken Doane.

[Dead Crow 370]

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

[Guest Smacketh Down]

Nah, they suck, WWE booking talent in the wrong way, wasting these young guy's talent, a waste.

[Guest Telf]

Yay freakin yay!

 

I hated them when they first came in but i've grown to love them. Especially Nicky with his high pitched squalls when he takes a big bump

[Guest Smacketh Down]

MIIIKEEYYY EYE EYE E EYY YYeeeeee eeeee EEE!! 'shake' shake'...

 

Enough!

[ViciousPrism 177]

Yay, it's not often that you see a team or a stable with this type of gimmick, and it's a plus that they can pull it off. Plus with their comedy skits in OVW are a major factor in them getting over with me.

 

Besides, just be thankful that the bookers didn't put 5 overweight wrestlers in this type of gimmick... And you really know that idea has crossed their mind.

[Guest Slim Jim]

Kenny! Johnny! Mikey! Nicky! THE other one! THE SPIRIT SQUAD.

 

Absolutely awesome. It's a pity they aren't in time because (although it's meant to be crap and cheesy) it's hard to understand what they are saying, especially live.

[Guest FreeSpirit]

I loved the Spirit Squad since Day One. Its such a unique gimmick and I think all 5 members have pulled it off to near perfection.

[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.

[Ryan 188]

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.
