I've been hoping for something like this for Kofi for a long time, he needed to do something to give him an edge. I like the makeup of this group. Xavier can talk and Big E is great as muscle, Kofi may be able to finally shine. I'm curious if they'll add Mark Henry to the group as a NoD OG...or Truth, who was brilliant when he was crazy.

It's something different, which I appreciate.

Kofi and Xavier as heels really interests me. Anything Big E does bores me to tears.

Smart move. He was going nowhere. If this flops, he can still go back to generic high-flying babyface. Kofi was my favourite wrestler about 4-6 years ago, I loved when he started feuding with Orton. And since then... Nothing.

He's done everything he possibly can as a face. He's ridiculously stale and irrelevant.
Turning him heel at least gives him something to do.

I think the jury is still out. He really hasn't done anything yet. This isn't the ideal way I expected/hoped it would happen. But we need to see if he's going to have a voice & be vocal, or be in the background behind Woods. honestly, I wish kofi the best, but I can't see this group doing anything special (hope I'm wrong) I cheered for the nation actually because I liked the Rock early on & the interaction with him eventually turning on Ron Simmons to take the lead -- I just don't see enough credibility in the members individually for it to copy that part of the group, the part that made it so special (having that breakout guy that you just knew was gonna light up the main event) woods works for me only as the D-Lo of a group & not the mouth piece...just my opinion E should've been in the 'Simmons' position if I had my way & if Kofi is 'the Rock' of the group - I can work with that, but I don't necessarily know that he can be that compelling (could've been a guy that just lets his wrestling do the talking like some others)

All 3 of those guys needed a change. If anything, this is good for them. Can't hurt them at all either.

If WWE plays the cards right Woods/Kofi/Big E could get major heat. Have Woods be the mouth peace of the group.

It can't hurt him. Best case scenario, his carreer is rejuvenated. Worst case scenario, he goes back to doing what he was doing.

It's about damn time! He deserves it! With Kofi as my favorite wrestler I'm super super happy with this whole angle with the "New Nation." The WWE honestly doesn't realize how much talent he has. The only reason so many people don't like Kofi that much is because of his gimmick and how he's so bland. I agree he can get boring at times. But you can't say that he's not good in the ring, because he is very good in the ring.
Kofi turning heel will work very well. We saw how serious Kofi can be back in 2009. And he could totally be dangerous with Big E and Xavier. I really hope after this "New Nation" storyline is over they can put Kofi in the title shot. ( Still as a heel though so he won't become stale again).
I can't wait to see where they go with this (hopeful) heel turn.

Kofi has been stale for years now, it's time to try something new.

I think it is a good thing. Hope it gets him more involved in things.

It's the last step before his eventual release. They could have done a lot with Kofi. I think he's a good worker and can put on good matches. But it just seems like nobody wanted to give him that little extra push to have him advance. He's been spinning his wheels for a long time now.
He'll draw really well in the indys.

A little bit of column A, and a little bit of column B. Kofi needed to turn heel two years ago. It's too little too late. Nothing is gonna resurrect this guys career at this point.... not even his little Cirque du Soleil spots that he does in every single battle royal.

His sole purpose for the last couple of years is to have a "Holy crap!" moment during the Rumble and MITB matches. There is literally nothing else he can do as a face. I think Xavier Woods could possibly be a good talker, apparently he got some good marks down in the NXT classes. As for Big E, he could no doubt be a devastating enforcer type character.

Well the only storyline he's ever had prior to now was the one with Orton, may as well turn him heel to see how it pans out.
