La Resistance

[Unrated Superstar]

What's the point of bringing La Resistance to ECW? ECW has no tag title, therefore no tag team division. I think the folks at ECW creative forgot that, especially seeing as Sylvan made a belt motion around his waist after they won their three-second match tonight. Unless he's talking about the ECW world title, because it's sooooo likely that Sylvan will win it.

I realize they can't find anything to do with these guys, but making them the only tag team in ECW doesn't help anything. What are they gonna do, just fight jobbers every week like they did tonight?

Does anybody feel the same way, and for that matter does anybody actually understand the logic behind this decision? Your thoughts?

MMM maybe that hint signified that WWE will form a TAG TEAM DIVISION in ECW with tag team titles???? thats what i was hoping when i seen la resistance..but they should of done that when the FBI was still together..unless they move VITO to ECW to team with NUNZIO..i hope they bring in more titles to ECW THOUGH

I agree Unrated Superstar, I saw that as just a stupid move. They should've moved La Resistance over to Smackdown! to help out their dying tag team division. It makes absolutely no sense for these guys to be the only tag team in ECW.

I think the logic behind it is that Vince is bored, doesn't know what to do with these two guys, and has something against ECW fans. He has to have something against us to try and convince us that amateurs like Kevin Thorn and Matt Striker are the "new breed" of ECW.

 

[rvd420blazeit]

i still think that ECW WILL START A TAG TEAM DIVISION but i would have made sense to move them to SMACKDOWN with MARYSE as their manager...DUH!

 

[Downward Spiral]

I pray that they don't send credible tag teams to ECW for some tag division. I see this as just putting two guys who had nothing going for them together again to see what happens and this is just because they felt that they wouldn't fit in anywhere else. I believe that SmackDown or Raw could use a faction as easy to hate as La Resistance and I believe that they should be somewhere other than ECW. Rob Conway should end up there sooner or later if he hasn't left completely, but really, there is no hope for anyone sent to ECW and this may be the case for these two guys. Someone like Khali should be on ECW, but these guys have a lot to offer in my opinion as a team and I hope that 1, they don't stay there too long if they can show some great teamwork again, and 2, ECW doesn't have a tag division. There could be a 3 in that I hope ECW just quits while they are miles behind.

This shows that these guys look well and truly buried but it is good to see the team back together because it was great back in its heyday and had some great feuds for the title against the Dudleys, etc. I just wish that they were on a show where it mattered to have good tag teams and right now, Smackdown could use a tag team the fans are familiar with.

This might sound a bit crazy, but I have been waiting and waiting for these two to get back together... but not on ECW. I am quite stoked to see La Resistance back but I am confused as to what the point is seeing they are on the only roster that features no tag teams?!?!

I can only hope 1 of 2 things happens... 1. They get moved to either Raw or Smackdown immediately 2. ECW finally develops a tag team championship so that the show becomes a bit more interesting

Whatever the future holds for the re-uniting... I am happy to see it.

It's a ******ed decision. They never used the F.B.I. Also there's no tag title's. The Raw and Smackdown division's are shit so why not move them to there. It make's perfect sence to me.

The Tag division is getting better than it used to, but they do need a few more teams. SD! is in the most need right now, they need to bring back Stevens and James as I have not seen them and put La Resistance over there instead of wasting them on ECW.

 

[Cerebral_Assassin]

It was the original plan to put them on smackdown or raw as maryse as there manager so i would'nt doubt thats what they will do.But i'm happy to see them reunite.

Well, Tony Mamaluke is gone, and unless they bring Vito to ECW, which I doubt will happen, then the F.B.I. will never be used again in ECW.

It's good that the WWE brought back/in a new tag team. But the thing is to now push them to respectibility. We all know what the combination of La Resistance has done in the past, but they got dogged by Batista by his lonesome and he stuck a flag pole up their asses, so that killed every shred of credibility that they may have earned (IMO).

The WWE has lots of teams, but how many do we actually care about or remember even existing? And the top two teams that the fans enjoy (MNM and The Hardy's), Vince doesn't want them paired up. Go figure. But he reunites guys that no one cares for or has no credibility and wants us to believe that they are qualified enough to be contenders.

Highlanders - joke

Deuce and Domino - come on, seriously, Deuce and Domino

Cryme Tyme - horrible gimmicks with no direction. And what happened to their title shot? Oh, I know. If they were to go against Cena/HBK, even Rated RKO, there's no way they would win unless those two teams fought each other during the match.

London and Kendrick - all the talent in the world but not respected enough by the top brass to be quality champions. though their current push is trying to justify them being champions.

Regal/Taylor - what the hell happened to them?

Benjamin/Haas - jokes with no direction

Murdoch/Cade - no direction

Stevens/James - now, if the only reason why you're on TV is because of your manager, then she gets sick and needs medical attention, then you're not on television anymore, then you suck.

Out of all these teams, many may respect their in-ring ability, but they are presented in a way that they are made a fool of, so I can't respect many of these teams. I can respect Benjamin, Regal, Taylor, London, and Kendrick for their abilities, but the way they are presented to all, they are nothing much to be concerned of. There are lots of teams, many more than in the recent past, but less than a handful are actual quality teams and two of them aren't allowed to tag on a regular.

Pity.

I don't think WWE knows how to handle tag teams anymore. Sometimes they just push new tag teams and then make jokes out of them just as quickly (the Highlanders would be an example from the point of view that they weren't already jokes). Cade and Murdoch got a big push when they debuted as a tag team, winning the tag titles right off the bat, and now look at them. And what was the point of World's Greatest Tag Team reforming if they're not gonna get pushed? I believe they could be a legit tag team again if handled properly.

As for Smackdown, they had that 4-way tag team ladder match at Armageddon, which featured IC champion from Raw Jeff Hardy (showing how much they pay attention to the IC title). It was fun, but kind of pointless. Would have been even more pointless to do the rematch at Armageddon. But Deuce and Domino vs. London and Kendrick for the titles? Eh, not much better. And when I saw D&D debut, I thought "Only on Smackdown." Then I remembered The Highlanders and Cryme Tyme.

ECW does not need a tag team division. They needed to make ECW more like the way it was before and give Heyman more control, but now it seems to be too late. As for moving La Resistance to SD or Raw, I'm not sure whether that will happen or not. They just got to ECW, but then again given how long storylines and characters last in ECW, they may have a shot at a jump.

Eh, who knows anymore?

Agreed. Why would you have one established tag team in your brand? The roster is so small as it is, that putting guys any of the other guys together to start a tag feud leave you with about 8-10 singles guys. What is the point?

 

[HellBoundPower]

I though Rene Dupree on ECW to begin with was stupid, and now La Resistance? I think these two should be moved to SmackDown! imediately, and given a push for the Tag Team Titles. SmackDown! is getting a better Tag Team Division, but they could really use La Resistance.

 

[Downward Spiral]

Yeah Smackdown do need a tag team that is well used, but I think these guys don't have much going for them, and that is probably a result of poor booking and gimmicks. Right now these guys are still regulars in OVW, so I don't think we will see that much of them on ECW, but they deserve to be on SD as they are wrestlers that would help out their tag division.

 

[joeya51]

I think it is a very poor decision. They are a good team, but not a fit for ECW. Well at least ECW the way it was meant to be. I think they need to establish a tag team division and titles, not to mention bring the T.V. Title back.

 

[Kasey]

ALL of the tag teams need to be hoisted onto one show so that ONE set of tag titles can actually have some credibility. What in the hell does it say for Raw's tag division when two singles wrestlers are the only ones wearing the damn belts for the last several months? I like Edge. I like Orton. I like HBK. Cena still sucks. However, they shouldn't be fighting over the tag titles. REAL TAG TEAMS should be doing that. The WWE creative squad needs to be lined up and bitch-slapped Three Stooges-style for spreading all of the talent across three rosters in the most moronic fashion possible. Choose a show. Put all the CW's there. Choose another one. Put all the tag teams there. Then actually spend time developing the divisions so that the belts are something more than a shiny asswipe with leather backing. I'd move the tag teams to Raw. ALL of them. All the CW's to one of the others. La Resistance belongs in ECW as much as Charlton Heston at a rap concert. Who do they even expect the Frenchies to fight? Jobbers for weeks at a time? Great decision. The only way this shuffling of talent would work is if they hired a $hitload of new talent to actually fill up the roster. Then they'd have to sideline a greater number of the stupid segments and replace it with wrestling. Why they choose to swim upstream is beyond me.
