According to Kurt Angle
“You look at what they have been doing with Alexander, the Hurt Business. You know, he got in a little trouble last year,” he said. “He didn’t do something that Vince wanted him to do, and you know, if you don’t listen to your boss, things could get a little bit, you know, depressing for you, and he didn’t listen the one night, and they scolded him for a good half-year before they started using him again, and rightfully so, he should have listened.
Kurt Angle reveals how Cedric Alexander got on the wrong side of Vince McMahon
My guess is Vince asked him to do something sus
or sus
So call me optimistic or maybe just nuts...
But if they take the masks off these dudes and put 'em in suits keeping with the image of THB, I got no problem with it.
It doesn't matter that they lost matches- Benjamin and Alexander were catering/job squad status before they got added to THB. shyt, THB in itself was basically built on improving the careers of 4 dudes who were headed nowhere, so
If Dio and Dijakovic are a dominant tag team 6 months from now, I doubt anyone even bothers to bring up the Retribution shyt. If THB's success has proven nothing else, a fresh push will erase a kayfabe win-loss record.The biggest thing for me is that since it IS called the Hurt Business... two MFs who definitely look like they could hurt somebody ain't the worst addition in the world. I do dislike that Benjamin and Alexander got cut, because I liked it the way it already was, but it ain't the end of the world. I'ma let this play out first... but yeah, the Retribution image obviously gotta go.

Shelton and Cedric need to make a hardcore / crash holly type tag team . Cedric under sheltons teachings would be great

Doesn't make sense, shouldn't have been split. I hope they had a good kayfabe reason joining the group again.

MVP said, "ever seen brothers fight"? i.e. disagreement on things.
All they have to do is say Ced and Shelton were doing nothing and made things right with Bobby.

Survivor Series, then Vince will lose interest again.

They’re all like “we’re cool”
Bobby Lashley stopped by the “Mack Mania” podcast this week to talk about how The Hurt Business wanted to be portrayed and the perception in which black athletes are viewed.
Bobby Lashley explaining how the Hurt Business wanted to be portrayed:
“The one thing we wanted to do because of how the black athlete is portrayed, especially in the wrestling business, is sometimes we have to go out there and dance,” Lashley said. “Sometimes we have to go out there and be a thug.”
“I have a son, and a lot of kids try to emulate and look up to wrestlers. The one thing we wanted to show is who we really are. None of us are thugs. I got a college degree. I graduated with honors. I got a good head on my shoulders.”
“When we come into work, we look professional,” Lashley said. “We don’t come in with sweats and everything like that. What we were trying to do was show the black athlete in a different light, and I think people really liked it because the synergy of all of us is real.”
Basically with The Hurt Business, we were trying to show old school wrestling to this new school, you know, everything is PG, everything is cool moves and everything like that. We wanted to show hard hitting old school style wrestling. That’s where the Hurt came along. Where the Business came along was how we represent ourselves. We came out in suits. We came out clean. We make money. We make real good money as WWE performers, so we shouldn’t look like anything else but superstars. We wanted to show all that on TV and have a good look for us as black athletes.”
