Kayfabe is so dead

Imagine if they had internet articles about this in 1996.

"WCW creative is still goin back and forth on who should be revealed to be the 3rd member of the mysterious group of former WWF members, Scott Hall & Kevin Nash. Writers are bouncing back and forth on whether a fresh heel turn of Sting to revive his career or the recently signed Sean Waltman (aka 123 kid) to join his real life friends in the Kliq. Also, Hulk Hogan just got done filming a movie and rumors circulating in the creative room that might have Hogan revealed as the leader of this new renegade group called the nWo with Hall & Nash. Stay tuned for details in the coming weeks"

:snoop:
They did online but wasn't as accessible. I'm glad i never saw that shyt till i was old enough to not care.

This was a classic example of trying to do too much. The problem is that unless there's a big name revealed as the leader then this will be one of the biggest busts ever. The K.I.S.S method is what was needed for this storyline, and that's have them attack the first 2 weeks, have the leader be shown in the shadows, and then have them wreck shyt at Payback and then reveal the leader at the end.:manny:

Agree with all of this, but at this point, no big names better hope they're revealed, cause they look like a joke and it could be a career killer. The reveal should pretty much be more unknowns or lesser used people cause when this bombs (yes, when, not if), the more unknown guys have a better chance of recovering from this.

It'll bomb because they'll overthink it. Restricting it to just RAW now completely kills the whole thing imo, and I don't get them wanting it to be RAW exclusive since they've looked more serious on Smackdown.

More interested in what Alexa Bliss is turning into..if she remake herself like Sting did in 97, that would be impressive but she has a long way to go.

Sometimes art doesn’t have to imitate life. From jump it was clear this is an ANTIFA inspired storyline, you can see that on the news everyday.

The whole group has come off as lame and pointless from day one. No clear leader, motivation, consistency, tangible impact. We don’t know who they are, what their goal is, they’re sometimes on the show, and what they really done except fukk with the broadcasts in ways that could at best be described as inconveniences. The whole things feels half baked and has come off as half assed at best, and no matter who the members are (and it’s basically guaranteed that they’ll be underwhelming) it’s better to just get it over with and do the big reveal sooner than later

Just have Roman be the leader
It’s a Raw show, not Smackdown. Plus he is with heyman. Why not have Keith Lee be the leader. It would be shocking. Or have it be Sasha and Bayley. It has to be someone who is main event worthy and could be see as potential title holder.

Kinda figured they'd drop it and not mention it again like the hacker storyline
