I think what it boils down to is that people are impossible to please. Instead of waiting for things to build slowly or for long term storylines (and stables) they want everything quickly. Now, now, now. The WWE, in my opinion, has done a fine job with Legacy and is building them up very nicely. I don't find them boring at all, but I don't have a short attention span or impossible expectations, either. People seem to forget that Evolution also revolved entirely around Triple H and his quest for (or to keep) the Heavyweight championship. Evolution was made out to be the past, the present, and the future.. and it certainly became that, no doubt, in its lasting legacy. But at the time of the stable Batista was nothing but muscle and a lackey, Ric Flair was nothing but a shadow of what he use to be and a lackey for Triple H, praising and doing everything for him. Aside from a brief, short tag team title reign neither of those two did anything but aide Triple H in every main event feud he had as he dominated the Heavyweight title picture. Orton held the Intercontinental championship and was becoming a break out star during that time, becoming a top heel with huge momentum and when he became a threat to Triple H as that impressive heel the WWE turned him face, took away all his momentum, and made him lose to Triple H. Its a testament to Orton's ability that he regrouped and rebounded so well and is in the place he's at now, once again as a top heel.
But the fact is, Batista and Orton only became the main eventers and big stars they are now after they broke ties with the Evolution stable, which is the way its suppose to be. So why would anyone expect anything less in terms of Legacy? So far everything's revolved around Orton's hunt to capture the championship, his feud with the McMahons, and now that that is seemingly over you may very well see things spread out a bit and go in other directions. People just need to watch things play out. But to say Dibiase and Rhodes are ONLY lackeys to Orton and have not shown anything else impressive at all, to me, is highly short sighted and I have to wonder if anyone whose bitching is even watching the shows. Dibiase and Rhodes have been feuding with the tag team champions the Colons and could easily be getting a title shot soon. Dibiase has had several matches with Batista and in neither of them did he get dominated but instead he held his own. This is Batista! The animal, a former champion, a main eventer and Dibiase has competed and done well against him. He even got a victory over Batista, didn't he? That's not the image of a lackey to me, that's the image of a young, rising star who has enough ability to compete with a main eventer. I think Dibiase and Rhodes have both been impressive (Dibiase more to me) and I think as things continue to build you'll see more and more from the other members of Legacy, but this is meant to be a long term thing and its not going to all unfold right now. No different then Evolution, and I bet tons of fans back then bitched and moaned about Evolution for the same exact reasons. Now people realize the benefit of Evolution and what came out of it, and I bet it'll be the same with Legacy down the road.
