Reggie used a little bit of New Jack's famous "I've been stabbed, I've been shot" promo. Good effort by breh.

I'm cool with giving OTM a fair chance, but they need to start kicking some butt in the ring. The couple times I saw them, they didn't really stand out from the other tag teams in terms of their ring work. They're capable wrestlers, but they were just regular wrestlers. I want to see Scripts, the other breh, & the brehito go in the ring and start killing fools. They need an intimidation factor if the gimmick is going to work.

Nah, this whole thing feels cringe. Not to hate on breh, but Reggie being in the group ruins them. I feel seeing Reginald on the main roster is now acting hard is just comedy. I can't take this group seriously, but hopefully I am wrong.
Good point.
I think Reggie is suffering from R-Truth syndrome. IRL, Reggie and R-Truth are/were actual street cats. They're certified.
However, they've both spent so much time as comedy wrestlers that it's not easy to see them do as anything but comedy (it is easier to see R-Truth be a bad guy since he was a serious heel for a few points in his career).
Reggie can possibly make his gangster gimmick work, but it's going to take a long time for us to forget his past gimmicks and he ABSOLUTELY will have to change his wrestling style. The acrobatics won't work if he wants to get booed.

See I look at it from a different lense. Knowing his background I can look at him from that perspective and not feel that way but I can understand your sentiment.

Is going to take a while for people to take him seriously.

I agree because the group could be a victim of too soon. I still have the 24/7 Reginald in my mind when I see him. However, this is just NXT, so if they make it onto main roster, then I feel it will be easier for the audience to buy them. I think we have to remember that NXT audience is much smaller than the main roster, so if they make it this will be fresh because enough time has passed.

You really had to watch their Level Up matches to see them straight destroy guys. It can be done. They could be the next dominant tag team on NXT now that the Creeds are moving on. IF they are in the Dusty Cup and I expect them to be, I can see them winning it.

I'm just wondering what's happening with the Authors of Pain supposedly re-signing. Still no word.

Well if you went from seeing him do 24/7 stuff right into this w/o ever seeing his evolution in NXT of course you are going to feel that way. That's just how things are. I have faith he will shed that stigma in people sooner than later. He got past that masked hood "luchador" gimmick he started with in his debut in NXT even tho he kept the name. In the end they've made it make sense and that's what matters in character building.

I'll have to check them out. They look like killers, I just want to see them do it. With OTM's look & Scripts as their Paul Ellering, we might be looking at the thugged out Road Warriors.
