Dean is the best on the mic, right? I haven't paid attention to him. People have been acting like he's Jake the Snake or Austin era 96 level Like he's gonna save pro wrestling

Dude has yet to say a word and already with this garbage

The shield was speculation, based on them having a shield on their shirt,still no name for the group.

Shoulda been Task Force but it's cool.

We can only hope, CisM Punk bytch Mob Task Force has a certain ring to it.

A look at WWE's rookie class and the trio of newcomers introduced at 'Survivor Series' - Grantland
Pretty good article about the trio. Here are the comparisons for the 3:

Dean Ambrose — In a piece I wrote earlier this year comparing WWE wrestlers to NBA players, I called Ambrose the WWE's Anthony Davis. He's the can't-miss next big thing. At the time, I waffled between him and Cesaro, who had just debuted, but I chose Ambrose because I thought he was on the verge of being called up (whoops!) and because even though Cesaro/Castagnoli had a more decorated indie career, Ambrose (known pre-WWE as Jon Moxley) is a better talker, which means a lot more in WWE than it does in the indies. Ambrose is endlessly compared to Brian Pillman for his maniac style and mic skills. Pillman famously injured his legs in a 1996 car crash, curbing his in-ring abilities just as he was beginning his WWF career, and I think it's fair (if gruesome) to say that if Ambrose were similarly rendered half-immobile, he could still be a major star. He's that good. But let's hope to god that doesn't happen and rejoice in the fact that Ambrose is a good wrestler. There's something about his look that's just so … normal. It halfway tricks me into thinking he's going to be awkward when I watch him wrestle. But once the sweat starts flying, Ambrose is impressive, as his breakthrough bout with a visiting CM Punk and an epic match against Rollins last year in FCW proved.

Roman Reigns — His name sounds like it came out of the WWE Super Awesome Name Generator 2000, and he looks like he emerged whole cloth from the Create-A-Player mode in WWE 13. But Reigns — a.k.a. Joe Anoa'i — has potential to be good. And even though he comes from a legitimate sports background — he was an All-ACC defensive tackle at Georgia Tech — he has a wrestling pedigree. Anoa'i is the son of Wild Samoan Sika, which makes him extended family to basically every Samoan who's ever pulled on three-quarter-length spandex pants. Reigns's first couple of years in FCW were unspectacular, but eventually the wrestling gods smiled upon him and he was unfastened from his ethnic heritage. He changed his character's last name from "Leakee" to Reigns and was pushed to the top of FCW, where he beat his new stablemates for a no. 1-contendership in February. (He then lost to champ Leo Kruger.) Since NXT launched, Reigns has appeared twice. His only match was a win (and I'm going to call his one promo a no decision). He may lack the message board credibility of Ambrose and Rollins, but his role in the faction is clear. Just as they give him indie cred, he gives them mainstream cred, because when the trio stands together with no shirts on, Reigns is the guy who looks like what most fans think a WWE superstar looks like.

Seth Rollins — At Survivor Series, color commentator JBL said that "if you built a sports entertainer from scratch, it would look like Randy Orton." This led me to joke that even if JBL's imaginary wrestler might look like Orton, he'd certainly wrestle like somebody else, but I can see JBL's point. But if you wanted your wrestling golem to have indie cred, he'd probably look like Seth Rollins. He has acrobatic skills and a WWE look. It didn't take long after his Ring of Honor debut before he was challenging for the title, and it didn't take long after his title win (in an awesome match with Austin Aires) before the snarkier side of the fan base started booing him.5 So, of course, it made sense to have Rollins antagonize the fans and turn heel by threatening to jump to WWE — and of course it was no surprise when WWE actually signed him away. When WWE reformatted its FCW developmental territory into the new iteration of NXT, Rollins was positioned as its first champion, and he was validated in that role by a brief association with none other than Punk.

Rollins still has his detractors. Because he's so good, there's an impulse to reject the hype and think that he's not really that good. And he could totally flop in the major leagues if he's presented as Wrestling Jesus too soon. So let's be cautiously optimistic that Rollins is debuting as part of a faction. Let's take it as a sign that the WWE powers that be won't force him down our throats as the corporate, streamlined version of CM Punk, with attendant Seth Rollins foam fingers and hair-bleaching kits for the little kiddies.

I really don't know much about these guys other than Ambrose and that was due to the IWC hype train. But given how they debuted you just can't have these guys lose and/or get crushed by Ryback so soon. They should be winning all their matches by showing they're an actual threat in the ring too. Even have one of them capture a mid-card title (sorry Kofi). Ah, what does this matter, knowing the E they will get the Brad Maddox treatment quickfast.

I actually preferred Task Force and even .RAR

Something involving Buff fukking Bagwell can in no way be better than anything. Pillman was a game-changer even as a cripple. That's why the comparison is being made (also, because they're both from Cincinnati).

You'd think he could do better in the wrestling department than Cody Rhodes, though.

Pillman was about to change the game alongside Stone Cold, breh.

Pillman was about to change the game alongside Stone Cold, breh.

That's no guarantee. Pillman had been demoted and was feuding with Goldust. Terri was supposed to turn heel and join him, and they could have been comparable to Edge and Lita as heels but in no way was Pillman really looking like a superstar in the making.

Also, Pillman wasn't physically there anymore... he had just been back to wrestling, and it still wasn't a situation where he was able to go out there every week and get in the ring. He could've gotten it together and made a consistent comeback, but that accident was pretty much the end of Pillman at his full capability. His character definitely would've done some great things in the Era tho'.

 

[Kang Deezy]

Pillman would never have won a world title and its true that Pillman didn't appear to be anywhere near the in ring performer he was in his prime.
