mystman Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Watching the invasion on Youtube, I cannot help but think that it looked like a bunch of 12 year olds cosplaying as the Nexus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 (edited) Well hopefully they have the same career path as Nexus as the guys become bigger stars once people forget how shitty they were originally booked.

nofuture Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Didn't help that half them looked like they were wearing pregnancy suits. I think Vanessa Bourne and Chelsea Green were the two female Antifas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Also couldn't tell if that was a rubber or plastic chainsaw with really gimmicked ropes. I am sure that a saw doesn't bend that way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 I skipped around a lot. The whole Sheamus/Corbin thing was weird to me since both are heels, but it was done well I guess. Cesaro/Dorado was solid. The Braun/Fiend stuff did little for me. I guess Alexa has been brainwashed already going off th e little I saw. Big E's promo was nice. Bayley taking on the winner of a 3 brand battle royal isn't a terrible idea I suppose depending on who actually wins it. Skipped Miz & Morrison talking to Mandy's hair. Dug Sonya on the mic and in her awesome suit again. Miz & Morrison vs. Heavy Machinery was solid and it was good seeing Mandy and Sonya brawl. I skipped around the Retribution attack. That just felt a like dumb Nexus cosplay. That was not going to work with the dumb outfits, the dumb Raw debut, & advertising a new faction in advance. Its also the type of thing that absolutely needs an audience like the Nexus had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheVileOne Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Retribution is nothing more than a sanitized WWE version of Age of the Fall. Why should we care about this group? Why do the announcers and Michael Cole even know what they're called? Why did they wait until Smackdown to start wrecking the place? Like they set a generator on fire on Monday, big whoop.

Peck Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 I can't believe I'm saying this but I actually laughed out loud at the fucking stupid Dunn Camera Cuts© between Miz, Morrison and the dumb googly-eyes hair thing. The cuts were so over-the-top absurd that it made me laugh. The RETRIBUTION thing was ridiculous. Not a single one of them looked like they were over 5'4", 140 pounds. And that includes the males. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vgmastr Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 It's like someone watched the Nexus debut and said, "How can we do this worse?" It's a good thing they showed up or else Smackdown would have had 10 minutes of dead air. Why wasn't there a main event that they could have interrupted, beat down a couple of name guys and maybe get a little bit of heat? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultimo Necro Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 My retribution member guesses 1. Lio Rush 2. El Torito 3. Hornswoggle 4. Tiny Adam Cole The best part of the whole thing was Mandy & Sonya stopping their argument / fight because the lights went out. Hey WWE, don’t bother with security if things are getting out of control. Just turn the lights out and the people will stop fighting! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
For Great Justice Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 What a bunch of geeks. They are going to do the Aces and Eights angle with this and unmask then one by one aren’t they. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Guy Named Tracy Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 I legit LOL’ed when the Retribution member used the chainsaw on the ropes. Cut one rope. Stop and celebrate. Cut the middle rope. Stop and celebrate. Then cut the bottom rope. It was ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Edwin Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 I wasn't watching when Nexus debuted or was around, so I enjoyed it. Thought it was much better than those folks who debuted under hoods and one of them was throwing punches to the air from a mount position some months ago.
