Wow, this whole legacy thing started off so well didn't it? Does anyone else feel that it's kind of losing its direction and therefore, you're starting to lose interest?
Instead of growing in numbers and slowly decimating the other guys on the roster like Evolution used to do, the leader can't make his mind up about who he wants in his group and who he doesn't. They've successfully ambushed Punk, costing him his title, and set up Cena for a Jericho attack and that's it, so far. Punk never went on a crusade to gain revenge like we all thought he would, Batista has been eliminated from the equation until the early summer, and now they've essentially got no one else to get into a program with without splintering the group already, which is where we are now. We've never even had a chance to see the group work together as a unit because as soon as someone's added to the group, someone else is booted out. And now we've got 2nd gen referees getting involved? Sheesh!
At this point, the most sensible idea i've seen is for Manu and Sim to join forces with Kane. He's obviously got an issue with Orton over the KK thing. That's not likely to go away anytime soon, not after they spent almost a whole episode of Raw focusing on the interaction between KK and Kane. Kane also got screwed outta his match with Orton this week. They've used the whole 'Paul Bearer is your dad, so you're 2nd gen as well' idea before so they can easily re-use it, and it would be a good way for Kane to have a fued to work with heading into WM. If they're going to induct DH Smith in the group as well (though i haven't read any rumours that they will. Thought they were doing a Hart Foundation v.2 thing?), he can be the guy that Kane puts over, while the other four have a tag fued. It makes sense, because it was Priceless who brought Manu in in the first place and then kicked him to the curb at Orton's request, so he's bound to have a score to settle.
Let Orton fight for the title at WM, and have a 6 man tag to open WM or at least be in the first 3 matches between Manu/Snuka/Kane v Priceless/Smith, and then continue to have Kane put Smith over.
Then Legacy should have a similar run to Evolution.
- Orton's the champ, uses his lackey's to do his dirty work for him to ensure he keeps the belt, much like Evolution era HHH
- DH Smith should hold the IC title for a number of months, let's say 7, but he's also got to defend it frequently as well as being in fueds with guys like Kingston and Punk.
- Priceless form the equivalent of Flair and Batista, now obviously one of them isn't in his late 50's and the other isn't a 350lb muscle bound egotist, but they've proven already that they are a good team, and also the pair have a high regard for the tag belts so they'd do it some justice, but again, they've got to defend the belts frequently, and i don't mean once every 30 days, i'm talking once every 3 weeks at least.
Also, I'd like for someone to name the last second generation superstar to join World Wrestling Entertainment and get released within a year. You're all saying, 'Manu and Sim are shit, they should be released'. Do they ever release 2nd gen wrestlers before giving them a number of opportunities to get over, because i can't think of any. Hell man, Chavo Guerrero has done nothing in months and he's still hanging around, purely because he's a Guerrero. These 2 aren't going to take a Braden Walker nose dive into unemployment, and they also aren't going to have one vignette and then get sacked before even appearing on television, they'll be around for a while yet.
Oh, and the idea of joining them up with Goldust is a terrible one.
