Am I the only one that thinks that Legacy is a huge flop as a main event stable? I mean look at Orton, he's building HIS legacy even more and is getting better at pretty much everything by the second. I'm a huge fan of Orton's work in and out of the ring, but this is just not working.
No, but I think you might be the only one who considers them a
Main Event stable. Legacy wasn't meant to be a M.E. Stable, it was meant to center around making Randy Orton an even more powerful Main Eventer.
In the same fashion that Cena joining up with Cryme Tyme wasn't ever suppose to make Cryme Tyme seem like Main Eventers, so much as just give them a push in the spotlight.
Of course Ted DiBiase and Cody Rhodes are flopping in any type of Main Event scene. That's because they haven't been in the company longer than a year + at most.
This group was just made, to place focus on Orton being capable enough to lead two younger Superstars.. and to give Rhodes and DiBiase something to do, that helps them for the future.
Anyway... am I the only one that believes this? That Legacy (is also a horrible name since collectively they HAVE NO legacy and to call Orton's career up to this point "legendary or legacy-like" is a bit of a stretch) is a stable being pushed down our throats way too quickly? Because it just isn't working for me...yet.
Uhm. All 2nd Generation Superstars. (ie. Legacy)
Once again, I think you're either over or under-looking the situation. Ted DiBiase (Sr), aka the Million Dollar Man.. had a tremendous career. Dusty Rhodes, had a huge career. Cowboy Bob Orton.. had a good enough career to be considered rememberable.
Collectively, their children are now following in their footsteps. (ie. Legacy)
It makes perfect sense, and if anything is quite possibly one of the best titles to call your Faction, as it makes sense. As opposed to other former faction names, that didn't quite fit the bill.
Nation of Domination - It was a group of black guys who hated "the man". Originally it was a group that had a white guy IN IT. They weren't dominating, at all. And 5 people, at most, doesn't qualify to become a Nation under any circumstances.
Ministry of Darkness - Outside of the Undertaker, was any of them truly fitting the name? A former fat ass rapper in Viscera. A guy who later wore a fanny pack and had part of his name called "Naked". An all-american in Ron Simmons, and a future multi-millionaire in Bradshaw. Hardly dark.
Heenan Family - With the exception of Bobby Heenan, were any of those he managed.. related?
Filthy Animals - Excluding Konnan, were any of them really
animals, or
filthy?
