    It was cool. The only problem I have is that King & Lashley are barely on the show and because of that it lacked the impact it could have had if they were featured prominently.

    How? He was X Division Champ for how long having ? matches with RVD n not one person gave a ? n now he's being aligned with two more well known guys that can still work it's a bad thing?

    Wrestling fans will never be happy. Its like yall happy about not being happy.

    At least give it a chance then criticize it accordingly afterwards.

    Or maybe TNA booking is so transparent that you know that in the end this stable will end up nowhere just like every other stable angle they've tried in the last 6 to 12 months. Matter of fact maybe they should start falling back on having factions altogether for a bit.

    How about you know using Kenny King to actually build feuds in the X Division?

    Kenny King doesn't need WWE midcard rejects to help him elevate himself. He just needs to be booked as a relevant singles competitor which they never seem to do when it comes to him.

    You got Sanada, Tigre Uno, Zema Ion doing next to nothing or complete ? to the point that the division seems uneventful and unimportant and one of those guys is supposed to be champ. You could use King and Aries who they also have doing nothing right now to help prop up what is pretty much a non existent midcard in that company.

    Agree, but why cant you have the XDivision AND this faction at the same time? I never knee a decent product that did only one good thing at a time. You can build mid cards and xdivisions while having this stable.

    We always complaining about not seeing a black stable, now we have one. Just enjoy it for what it's worth or if you think it's not going anywhere like mostly everything else TNA has done then why bother watching?

    Let ? materialize bro.

    I never asked for a black stable. I'm not one of those "I need to see people of color to relate to the program or get drawn into the show" type. Frankly I don't really like stables in general but in TNA especially. It only ends up helping out one character (i.e. Aces & Eights, LAX, Immortal) and leaves the others in limbo once the stable is done. I prefer focusing on building up individual characters instead so that those individual characters could become strong enough to help sustain the show when needed. That's what any good television does.

    I bother watching because there are other things on the program that appeal to me outside of MVP vs. the world. Though admittedly I haven't watched the last couple of shows.

    MVP, in two weeks, has greatly increased my interest in TNA by turning heel. As a fan of his work in WWE, he was so much more interesting as a heel and much like Christian WWE failed to capitalize on his popularity but TNA is in prime position to do so.

    I'm not mad at TNA for trying with (some) these guys, most of the people they put the belt on that made their bones in the E were guys who had nice followings when they were there but due to politics among other things they hit a glass ceiling and TNA has more opportunities for them.

    Hell no lmao I'm black and since my parents are both from Dominican Republic some might call people like me brown cause I could speak a spanish dialect. I just don't get hung up on the race ? . A well written character is engaging no matter what color his or her skin may be or what culture they come from.

    He needs to prove it by outshining hus counterparts on the mic and in the ring. At the very least TNA fans will notice. Fact us Im sure MVP and Lashley saw something in King to form a stable with him.

    Bruh....Lashley's not a midcard reject. He was in a WWE title match and left on his own.

    Lashley was legit over though, and was constantly main eventing for a time until he chose to leave.

    I am not a TNA person, but my friends who are mentioned it, saw some images of it, and it is not a bad look to me.

    I don't see a black stable almost ever? As a black wrestling fan I like it, esp the talent they picked.

    The only thing that's gonna ruin it is that it's TNA like @Broddie‌ said. They always seem to never go anywhere with a reasonable good idea, but I'm gonna give this s chance and see where it goes, if it goes.
