Seemed like they were...

Getting Noticed By Management
Did anyone else feel like with all of Orton's mouth last night that possibly Priceless should have turned last night on Orton? Watching Teddy/Cody it seemed like they both showed facial expressions at times that suggested displeasure with Orton's words. Especially when he emphasized on not mentioning either of their names at all. Orton was all about himself last night, and I think the unexpected would have been them turning on Orton.

I don't mark out much, but I think this Legacy thing has drawn its blood. Priceless turning on Orton would have given them something to draw off of, and it could have placed them as top tier face talents(tag team). Turning on Orton would have given them a loud pop. Legacy is nothing without those two, and I mean that literally. Orton can't be a stable by himself. I'm looking forward to the coming weeks to see if Orton ends up like Julius Ceasar. Who will be Orton's "Brutus"? My vote goes for Teddy Dibiase. Face turn for Priceless.
 
While I didn't notice the expressions but I like your idea.

But I'm really liking this Legacy thing right now so maybe if they can draw this out for awhile, I'd mark out.

DiBiase as the one to make the turn? I love him as a heel while I still can't buy Rhodes. He looks too much like a kid still, so I can't believe him as a badass.
 
Priceless is so far from ready from that development it isn't funny. They are a completely unproven commodity, having been used strictly to give or get beatdowns over the past few months.

They need to find their identity first and see if they are fit to play with the big boys. A face turn by a pair that don't really matter much would just lead to them getting buried.
 
I wouldn't have Priceless turn until at least SummerSlam or so. As others have stated, they are far from ready to be a commodity on their own, at this point.

They need to let this thing build.
 
Cody is worthless and needs to go back to developmental (FCW) for a few more years and learn some better moves or they could put him with Jack Swagger and they could be price-lisp's, as for Ted he needs to be on his own wrestling people like Y2J, Kofi and Shelton to show his talent better. The dead weight of Cody is just a anchor holding him down. Randy Orton just flat out SUCKS. And whats with the 95 year old grandma walk to the ring the 3 do? If they went any slower they would be going backwards it took them 3 minutes to get from the entrance to the ring and then another 2 to get into it and like 7 more before anyone even said anything then we have to watch not 1 but 2 - 5 minute videos of him kicking people in the head during the show. Come on !! Raw is a 2 hour program and you waste 22 minutes of it on dumb crap like this. WHY?
 
Priceless turn on Orton? Never. Orton turn on Priceless? Now that I can see. I'd love to see a build-up of how Priceless finally finds themselves and actually competes on Raw so people can watch them wrestle because I think I could count on one hand the matches those two have actually had on Raw in the last God knows how long. Then Orton goes through a nice solid run as Champion and goes on degrating Rhodes and DiBiase about how they really don't belong in Orton's league and he levels the bejesus out of them both. Obviously the leveling of Priceless by Orton would "come out of nowhere" and then that's what Orton would say the week later or something on why he did what he did.

The thing that REALLY chaps my ass though is that Rhodes and DiBiase haven't done ANYTHING together. If you recall they formed Priceless at Night of Champions last year. That's been 10 months according to my calender and they haven't done shit. Their two title reigns don't even count because both essentially earned by default and they barely had them a total of two months together to my knowledge. The first being was when Rhodes turned and then the other was the pointless build to SS with Cena/Batista holding them for a week. So in almost one year, they haven't done a thing.

All Rhodes and DiBiase can do in the ring is have looks on their faces when Orton talks because nobody knows what the hell to do with them. They've been lackys, horrible champions, and god knows what else. Orton can still sell everything he's doing but Ted and Cody... good god help these guys do something.
 
if anything that i saw about raw last night about that segment was that it made cody look like a push over really bad . i mean ..does he really need permission to go after mvp like he was begging his dad to go out side and play
 
I liked how MVP made use of them being Orton's lackeys, Orton is an ego-maniac heel, and I could see Priceless turning on Orton eventually after realising that he's just using them. I can see them being but in a feud with The Colons first though, given that they were originally a tag team.
 
Hell, no. Not anytime soon at least. Why do people want to break uop legacy when they haven't found their legs yet. What's wrong with a slow build that could be one of the best stables in a long while. If anything, add another person(a person that can be intercontinental champ or us champ) and let them run for a good year or so. Everyone's so quick to premature ejaculate over everything. If they broke them up anytime soon, then legacy was a worthless waste of WWE time. Would you even remember the 4 horsemen, d-x, nwo, or evolution if you broke them up before they were in existence for half a year? Legacy is just starting. I hope WWE doesn't drop the ball on them.
 
I highly doubt that legacy will break up anytime soon. I'm more suspecting that priceless will win the unified tag belts with a carlito turn. Carlito could be that mid-card us champ for legacy and fued with his brother. I would put money on it.
 
i think its inevitable that they will turn on him at some point if not one of them. i think its a good idea and a bad one...its a good idea because his character is too beyond theirs combined, its a bad one because those guys(in my eyes) dont exist without him.

im still holding out for Ted Dibiase to turn on them and take on an "Heir" gimmick sort of like he's following in the footsteps of his father and resurrect the million dollar belt...i know its a stretch, and gimmicky at that, but i feel its one of the only real ways to get him out there legitmately.
 
First off i agree they did look like they didnt give 2 shits less what Orton was saying! I saw a shoot interview with the New Age Outlaws and they said they use to HATE standing there while HHH rambled on, and on, and on...lol!
Im sure its much the same for team priceless as well!

For the guy who posted earlier about the time spent getting to the ring, and the videos i totally agree! I posted that in another thread where u got this slow walk, then orton does 3, out of 4 ring post grand stands for 2-3 minutes each, if you watch it back when he gets to the 4th one, he glances down then walks over to get the mic, i think he got the "hurry it up sign from the floor"...lol! There doing a really bad imitation of the whole "slow methodical" thing that Y2J does a GREAT job of executing, but Orton just looks dumb doing it! And to have to watch him kicking people in the head for a 5 min video that ran twice in one show was a waste of another match!

As far as Legacy getting over as a heel faction, first off Priceless needs the tag-team straps (unifed, or at least one or the other WWE, or World it dont matter), but all factions were defintly "Belt Heavy" Nash/Hall, had tag straps, Steiner had U.S. Title to Hogans World Belt, NAO had tag gold, and X-Pac had IC, and European to HHHs WWE title, so they gotta have them dominate as a Tag-Team on there own, i think thats a great idea to have a Carlito swerve to get them the Unifed Tag gold, then they help Carlito take the U.S. Strap from MVME...oops i mean MVP! Them just helping Orton is already old! I think the original idea was to have a super bad ass 2nd-3rd Generation stable lead by Orton, but of course it gets talked about forever on the net, and then Vince has to tweak it, and we get this cluster f*&k! A faction espically a heel faction needs to have all members helping each other get gold, and more importantly keep it!

when Legacy started Orton pushed them and challenged them to step up constantly he should be on them to get tag-gold cause them walking in strapless is anything but priceless it just makes the whole faction seem weak!
 
I agree. Before anyone turns, Priceless needs to tag belts. I see this happening soon. Oddly enough, they will win them from second generation stars.

I see another stable of second generation stars rising up against Legacy. There would be a fight for second generation guys, and all of the fighting over them would elevate them without their even needing a match. Now, if there was someone who's father was a star who could lead this stable. David Flair maybe? It would elevate him to the top immediately, and he's not good enough, so he's out. Same for DH Smith. A returning Rock would be awesome, but that won't happen.

How about Vince McMahon? He could grab up all the second generation guys like Jessie, Sim, Manu, Carlito, Primo, etc. and run them out against Legacy. This could be how Carlito gets to the top.

It's just an idea, but it is a new twist on stable wars.
 
This forum gets more and more confusing, after a while i see alot of people saying things such as "this team broke up to quick" or "why break this tag team up there not ready" or "there being pushed to fast", and just as WWE does a nice slow build to Legacy, leting them start of by being Ortons lackeys and im asuming eventually find there own identitys before breaking up in 5-12 months time, people are now saying break them up this quickly ?

WWE are doing the correct thing this time, slowly building up Legacy and let them find there own identitys and be themsellfs before breaking them up, they havent done it for a long time so why people are syaing break them up so quick is beyond me ? Sure they aint an amazing stable yet, but give them time, let them build up and then judge.
 
The Legacy works as it is, down the line its clear the students will turn on the teacher but i would leave it a while, build these 2 up using the WWE champion on their side will do the world of good. They do need to get involved in more beat downs and dominate more often. Slowly but surely they are coming on, these things take time, Austin wasnt a success overnight until that King of the Ring, he strung it out as the Ringmaster first...
 
Cody is worthless and needs to go back to developmental (FCW) for a few more years and learn some better moves or they could put him with Jack Swagger and they could be price-lisp's, as for Ted he needs to be on his own wrestling people like Y2J, Kofi and Shelton to show his talent better. The dead weight of Cody is just a anchor holding him down. Randy Orton just flat out SUCKS. And whats with the 95 year old grandma walk to the ring the 3 do? If they went any slower they would be going backwards it took them 3 minutes to get from the entrance to the ring and then another 2 to get into it and like 7 more before anyone even said anything then we have to watch not 1 but 2 - 5 minute videos of him kicking people in the head during the show. Come on !! Raw is a 2 hour program and you waste 22 minutes of it on dumb crap like this. WHY?

What an angry post this is. I would disagree that Rhodes is worthless, in fact I would say he has a really bright future ahead. I don't think he needs sent to FCW, I like his work and the guy is an amature wrestling champion so I would say he knows how to wrestle just fine...Just becasue he has a slight lisp doesn't mean he should be insulted either imo...and I don't think it will hold him back either, his dad spoke with a lisp and was magic on the mic...Cody hasn't been given a proper chance to demonstrate charisma on the mic yet so give it time. As for Orton, I think he's good actually...he can wrestle well and has a great character...

As for Priceless splitting from Orton I would say that it shouldn't happen yet, they need to benefit more than they have already from their association with him...the next thing for them is to win the unified tag belts which will give them more credibility before they can even think from breaking away from the group. Plus, there are so many possibilities for Legacy that for them to disband now or soon would throw all that away imo...
 
Just becasue he has a slight lisp doesn't mean he should be insulted either imo

But it is that slight lisp which will prevent him from ever getting over as a heel. No matter what they guy does, the moment he opens his mouth he loses everything he's built up.

I understand he can't help it, but it's not going to help him.
I see him as a goofy face-type, who always stands up for what's right, genuine nice-guy role, and quite nervous at the same time, especially around the divas. That'd make me possibly become slightly interested in what Cody Rhodes does, but unless he changes, he's going to be a heel who can't draw heat for shit.
 
While I doubt that Priceless will turn on Orton anytime soon, I could see it happening. I could also see Orton turning on them.

But if Orton turns on them, they should become faces. If they turn on Orton, they'll be heels, but Orton will stay heel. Orton is a career heel. He draws heat like it's nobody's business. I don't think the crowd will cheer face Orton.
 
I didnt see that but i wouldnt want it yet. Now that Orton has the title it will give them a chance to build Rhodes and DiBiase up. They've done a shit poor job of it so far it's not funny. They look sooooo weak at the moment so now is the time to focus on them for a bit. Put them in a feud with someone so it's Orton v ? & Priceless v ? instead of just Orton and co v HHH.

Whatever, i hate the way WWE does that sometimes. Anyways, rant done.
 
i guess i'm gonna jump on the "too soon" bandwagon. ted is obviously the star and i think he will be the one to turn. let orton belittle him for a while until the fans are begging him to whip his ass. he does and them orton and rhodes jump him and put him out of action for a while. he returns to fuck orton out of the title thus creating a feud that should be a decent amount of time and help put ted up there as a legit star.
