Sources are telling me that Primo and Epico will redebut at the top of Raw tonight before being repackaged and redebuting in the main event as Colombian Cartel, before a quick repackage on Smackdown as Argentinan winemakers and then finally onto Extreme Rules where they will be repackaged as Brazilian U21 footballers.

 

[Bluekaveli]

Future champions

 

[Kusagari]

This is such a terrible gimmick.

Like seriously how did this make it to Raw?

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

The Shining Stars finisher...is called the Shining Star.

El blando.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

this is too good. too fucking good.

 

[plagiarize]

How do you guys not see that they are clearly heels?

 

[Bronx-Man]

Damien Sandow gets released but these two chucklefucks have been on the roster for 8 years and get debut after debut after debut.

 

[Angry Grimace]

The fact that they just had jobbers is way more interesting than dead as fuck Primo and Epico re-package number 904819028490141

 

[Sanjuro]

Stardust should tag with Hardcore Holly.

What do you think?>

 

[spindashing]

I thought they weren't too bad at all but the name of their finisher being the name of their team is silly as fuck, haha.

 

[Kuroyume]

Those guys needed to trash America to make it work

WWE wants to makes Hispanic stars but they are incapable of making any one a star.

 

[Wagram]

I seen that gimmick being DOA all the way from Puerto Rico.

 

[Nose Master]

Weird. Having their characters be "We're from Puerto Rico! The end!" didn't get them over with the crowd. They're the control for a social experiment for whether the crowd will respond to any weekly video package regardless of content.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

The crowd was so dead. So fucking dead.

 

[spindashing]

Epico looks like a Gaffer here tho, glad he got banned

 

[plagiarize]

The crowd was so dead. So fucking dead.

Remember when New Day debuted, and you all shat on them the same way. Give them more than one squash match before writing them off.

Jim Hellwig's Ultimate Creations and Titan Sports have joined together in a business partnership where Titan will promote Warrior's Gym in Phoenix and use it as a WWF training center, and also promote his other merchandise including his comic book. In return, he hasn't left yet.

Not bad, Meltz.

Also, at this time in history (May 1996):

The Punisher, who I believe his real name is Ben Buchanan, and Dwayne Johnson, the son of Rocky Johnson and grandson of Peter Maivia, were both signed to developmental contracts. The developmental deals basically pay the guys $300 or so per week to augment their income while gaining experience, which in each's case will likely be in the USWA.

 

[Toki767]

I thought they weren't too bad at all but the name of their finisher being the name of their team is silly as fuck, haha.

They probably used up all their creativity just coming up with the one name that they had nothing else to associate with Puerto Rico.

 

[ramoisdead]

They really should've brought some apples to the ring and started spitting at the dude that got pinned.

 

[justjim89]

I feel like all these early returns are gonna bite Cena in the ass one of these days.

 

[Chie Satonaka]

I thought they weren't too bad at all but the name of their finisher being the name of their team is silly as fuck, haha.

Yeah, I thought they actually looked pretty good. Just that nobody will ever care.

 

[Sephzilla]

LOL did i seriously here a faint "John Cena sucks" chant?

 

[dream]

Sanjuro, is there a worse program than Ambrose vs. Jericho?

Yes you did.

THe reason why the new day became the new day we all know and love is because the fans shat on them

 

[Sanjuro]

Sanjuro, is there a worse program than Ambrose vs. Jericho?

1.) Women.
2.) Goldust & R-Truth jerking off to new partners.
3.) ...

 

[Oersted]

The shinning stars? WHo comes up with this garbage?

The Club, THE Guy...

 

[Angry Grimace]

Ambrose is the designated recap promo guy now

 

[Sephzilla]

Remember when New Day debuted, and you all shat on them the same way. Give them more than one squash match before writing them off.

The reception for New Day was noticeably better than Shining Stars debut.

 

[ramoisdead]

Let em guess, he's gonna tell Jericho he loves it and proposes a Straight Jacket match because that's EXTREEEEEEEEEEME.

 

[TimeEffect]

The Club, THE Guy...

Better than The Colons

My point is don't write off the gimmick after one appearance.

The new day had a similarly reaction free debut. It wasn't the reaction to their debut that made them the team they are today. They practically debuted to silence.

 

[Sanjuro]

QUIET

 

[Speedy Blue Dude]

$15,000 is a lot of money?

Bro Jericho probably four times that a RAW.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Remember when New Day debuted, and you all shat on them the same way. Give them more than one squash match before writing them off.

Pretty sure New Day got a better reaction than complete utter silence as well as weeks of packages that seemed way too overproduced for a group no one wanted to return. At least the New Day separate seemed decently popular, at least Kofi, but I don't think anyone cared for Epico and Primo.

I would love for them to turn out great but it really doesn't seem like they will if this is going to continue.

 

[Sanjuro]

He is going to take $15,000 out of his fucking zesty tight butthole.

They really didn't. And they were hyped for weeks too.

 

[Angry Grimace]

why do people have to ask jericho for matches

 

[Barrage]

Jericho is still so fucking good on the mic.

 

[Ultratech]

Dickhead Jericho is good.

I like this gimmick idea so long as Rowan The Vintner gets to be their mascot. Just call him El Torito Redux.

 

[Neverfade]

Ask for a match? They weren't having one?

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Heel jericho is hilarious.

 

[somedevil]

Who were those mutations that he faced? Kane?

 

[TimeEffect]

new Day was a face act and were miscast.

Colons are heel and dont have anywhere near the talent. They arent going anywhere

Why not? WWE had one shot to make a good first immersion and they fail after what like 6 month of planning.

 

[Ultratech]

Creepy Cage music???

 

[ramoisdead]

Someone tell Seth to get out of the cage's way.
