These guys had huge buzz surrounding them when it was announced they had gotten signed. They debuted and to this day I have been so unimpressed. They're average in the ring and average talkers but nothing about them stands out to me. The only thing that still keeps them going is that they're AJ's boys and they were formally a part of the bullet club, other than that they are vanilla and boringgggg. A team like the revival could easily come up and fill their rolls and do a much better job.
But I will admit. At first, the ringpostitis stuff was funny, but then it got lame real quick.

They've been given nothing but garbage to work with.
They've been handed nothing while Nakamura and AJ have been given A LOT this far.
It's like The Dudleys returning. They had no idea what to do with them.
They should have been given the belts almost immediately and been a dominant force this whole time. Instead they were used as AJ's lackeys and now they're doing the weird comedy gimmick. It just doesn't make sense. They should be no nonsense ass kicking machines.

They deserve a lot better than what they've been given so far. My hopes is that they win the Tag Titles at Clash and just plain dominate the Raw Tag Team Division for many months.

They've been mishandled, and deserve much better.

A definite misstep from creative with these guys. Who the hell takes a successful and menacing tag team and saddles them as cheap comedy? Oh yeah.........this is the same place that gave the freakin Road Warriors a dummy to get over..........never mind........

You could tell Vince is trying to get them over the only way he knows how. Making jokes and hoping the crowd laughs. But the thing is, being a legit bad-ass is one of the best ways to get over in this day and age. Had they never cracked a joke but cracked heads, the crowd would care a hell of a lot more than they do now.

I never thought much of them when they were in Japan, so to me, I don't care what happens with them.
I know some people like Gallows and Anderson, but I don't see the hype in them at all.

Someone mentioned the other day that basically every team on Raw is trying to be a comedy act. And its so true, leave the comedy to New Day, Golden Truth, Enzo/Cass.
Gallows and Anderson should just destroy like they did to the Dudleyz. Thats the team they need to be, get rid of this god awful doctor schtick with attempt at comedy, it f**king sucks.

I'm a huge fan of the team. I absolutely LOVED them in Japan.
But a part of me just wants to see Gallows take a back seat soon. Anderson looks and feels so much more comfortable since their return. I feel like he would be great in the mid-card by himself. I felt the same way about the two in Japan.
Anderson has always felt like a guy that shouldn't be in a tag team. I think he's much better on his own. He proved that on more than one occasion in New Japan.
I just want to see a decent singles run by him sooner than later. Because I've always felt like he's been held down by tag teams unnecessarily.

They've got bad material to work with, but they're also pretty poor performers. It's a shame. They both -- and Gallows in particular -- come across really fun and charismatic on non-wrestling stuff like interviews and podcasts, but in wrestling, they're just bland and nondescript. It was a mistake to split up The Club, because Gallows and Anderson are really only any good as henchmen for someone with a bit more presence.

Yeah they're not given great material to work with and they've been stuck in this pretty goofy storyline, but they are a pair of very very bland performers when it comes down to it. And yes I've seen some of their stuff from Japan. I'm not impressed. What sets them apart from anyone else on the roster? Is it the sheer fact that they came from New Japan that I'm supposed to think that they're amazing?

They're a comedy act now?
Huh. Way it goes, I suppose. I guess there's always 2014-2015 NJPW then...

I don't know how long their WWE deals are, but when their contracts are up, I hope they go back to NJPW. WWE is just embarrassing them.

That segment with New Day was so painful I wanted to end my life.
I like them a lot, and the first skit about ring postitis was pretty funny. But they should have ended the comedy after Summerslam. I felt like they were getting back on the right path before the draft and then afterwards, well, yeah. Leave the comedy to New Day, and just focus on kicking ass.

I think their ceiling was slightly overestimated when they came in. They're both talented guys, but they haven't found their footing in WWE, and I don't know that they will doing what they're doing. They've been booked horribly from the start, and it eliminated virtually any chance of them being taken seriously. Splitting them from Styles (while good for Styles) hurt them even more.
In short, they're just another tag team.

They're average in the ring and average talkers but nothing about them stands out to me. The only thing that still keeps them going is that they're AJ's boys and they were formally a part of the bullet club, other than that they are vanilla and boringgggg.

They need to go back to Japan where they were good. Their WWE run has been a flop.
