Only one I agree with is Quincy I was always curious as to how WWE was going to book such a, let’s say “unique”, character. The answer is they didn’t. How are Indi Hartwell, Tegan Nox, and Xia Li still on the roster after all of this? I’m honestly stunned. Also, Cedric Alexander still holding on! |

Quincy got injured and they pretty much threw their career down the drain on Christmas Indi is injured and not sure about Tegan Xia and Cedric |

I'm honestly surprised they kept the following:
Akira Tozawa
Angel Garza
B-Fab
Boa
Cedric Alexander
The Viking Raiders
Humbert Carillo
R-Truth
Robert Roode
Tamina
Xia Li
Also, I somehow missed Lacey Evans leaving,but not surprised as she has been doing explicit material just like Mandy Rose (Sacs)

I hope R-Truth is a lifer (he's been injured since Halloween Havoc)

Most shocking are Adonis and B-Fab to me when they did release Top Dolla

The Raiders are one of my biggest “Can’t believe these guys aren’t bigger stars” type stories. The Hanson/Rowe War Machine/Raiders version was simply tremendous. Hanson (Ivar) moves like no big man should, and just put on a highly entertaining 15 minute singles match with Kofi that stole the show on a random Raw, and Rowe’s feats of strength remind me of Cesaro or Julius Creed, just jaw-dropping. Their program against Street Profits proved they have charisma. In my mind they’re a total package and should be a main event tag team.
I think it’s a combo of poor gimmick (modern day Vikings can only go so far) and bad timing on injuries (seems when they get momentum one of them gets hurt), but it’s never match quality or the workers that are the problem. They may be better served letting their contracts expire and heading to AEW, which has room for a big bruising tag team. War Raiders v FTR, Bucks, Lucha Bros, Gunns, or White & Juice would all be tremendous. (End fantasy booking)

I remember watching some random free matches of theirs on YouTube before they debuted on NXT and it’s definitely huge missed potential. |

Sometimes it makes me wonder if they pissed off Vince before being hired, as in, saying something about him or the WWE in an article or on social media somewhere.
Let us not forget how Vince got one of Crocket's (Later WCW) top guys and main booker, Dusty Rhodes, and put him in that black with yellow polka-dot gear just because he had caused Vince frustration in the past. Another case in point was with Terry Taylor, who was becoming a solid booker at the time he joined WWF, and I believe he made disparaging remarks about WWF while he was trying to help boost Bill Watts' Mid-South change over to UWF. His punishment: The Red Rooster.

We may find out in a couple decades that War Machine made comments that pissed Vince off on a shoot interview four years before they got hired… or it may be that Rowe and Sarah Logan (Valhalla) actually embrace Viking culture IRL— didn’t they have a Viking themed wedding? It’s may be its just that old trope of “their real selves turned up to 11” in their case. |
