We haven't talked about it, but the Iconics are the worst act going today and maybe EVER

[Carl Tethers]

Called it on their debut. The stupid anti blonde/anti Bliss hysteria had dudes trying to pretend they mattered or were making noise. And how can you even blame the writing? SD! has looked competent on paper, at least, so why shouldn't that trickle down to basic ass characters like the Iconics? They suck. A dingo needs to eat them.

That's enough TSC for me today

 

[prophecypro]

Most of their gimmick is to be annoying and then once you factor in the general bad writing and then the sudden regression in their wrestling style from NXT you got what you have which is a comedy jobber team



Meltz was right about them

 

[The Prince of All Saiyans]

Better than bliss

More entertaining than bliss
Better in the ring than bliss

any lie for daps

Billie Kay is trash but Peyton Royce is pretty and can wrestle so they just need to cut the dead weight.

Almost certain they’ll get split up with Billie Kay getting Janetty’d, and eventually being Dana Brooke status.

 

[Playaz Eyez]

The thing w/the Illconics is that they are an act that lives and dies by getting good writing. Once they lost that, they lost the foundation of what made them entertaining in NXT. They're either gonna have get with creative and work on some stuff to get their groove back or do something different b/c they aren't really hitting on the main roster.

This 100%. IIconics were basically done after their 3rd promo or so. The funniest promo they did is where they made fun of Naomi. But what did that turn into? Them just exchanging wins against each other lmaoooo

 

[Coco Brown]

Btt they were fukking garbage in NXT as well. The worst part of any show they were on.

I thought they were good. Not great, but I wasn't cringing and getting second hand embarrassment like I do sometimes now.

They're both needed for the women's tag team division.

Not dingos lol. You ain't have to do them like that lol.

Nah, but for real I mostly blame the writing because it's super simple in this case: They are supposed to be funny. Period. That's the main job the writers have when it comes to them. Give them the jokes and one liners they need to make their gimmick work.

Don't misunderstand me. I don't think they're top tier performers on the mic or in the ring BUT we have seen that when given the right lines they can get the laughs and/or crowd reactions they're supposed to. Now, to be fair and keep it 100, the fact that that neither one of them has developed a clear character past the gimmick does them zero favors and also contributes to the struggle. I know you ride for Road Dogg and I don't have a problem giving credit where it's due, Smackdown been, to me at least, really good lately. But the promos they've given those girls have largely been awful, fam. And part of that is because WWE struggles with comedy in general. When they get it right it's awesome (points to Otis this past Monday or how over comedy got The Fashion Police over) but when they get it wrong, they get it way, way wrong (Jinder's jokes segment, Drake wetting himself) and that's across the board on both main roster shows and it is a long standing issue (remember Nattie's awful fart gimmick?). If these girls don't get jokes that land and one liners that pop they flop. Now, you can argue no performer should be *that* dependent on the writing and I would absolutely agree with you but... it doesn't change the fact that these two are. They don't have the ability to overcome and compensate for it if creative puts them in a hole. A lot of people on the roster can. They can't. And by now that's abundantly clear. The absolutely need good promos. They are dead in the water without them. And that brings me back to what I said in the beginning: They live and die by good writing.

They are basically a female Miz and Morrison so WWE needs to dig into the archives and recycle some material.

 

[Reality Check]

Does it get old quick? Yea
Worst Act ever? Far from it given the WWE trotted out Gobbledy Gooker, Repo Man, The Goon, Mantaur, Bastion Booger, Phantasio, Eugene, Fake Razor/Diesel, Kerwin White, Battle Kat, Red Rooster, and The Spirit Squad

 

[TRIPLE M]

u trippin the Riotts been getting good

Sarah Logan....walks down the aisle likes she's smelling her own fart, and now pretending she's a Viking yet not even changing her gear.bland ring work horrible promos

Liv Morgan...I have no reason why she's employed, trying to be Harley Quinn. 30 years old but calls herself the delinquent ,horrible Mic skills, garbage in the ring.

Ruby is the only one good out of the trio.

Iiconics at least provide fukkery and laughs

Liv been improving in the ring and she ain't 30 she more like 23-24. Ruby is very good heel. A much better worker than either IIconic broad.

 

[Bonefan32]

Yeah they trash, it's embarrassing when they on the mic

 

[boriquaking]

There was literally a wrestler named the Gobbledy Gooker that wrestled in a chicken costume

It was a turkey costume
