its not manu's fault hes a samoan.. they all dress and look alike.. thats why hes umaga 2 or rikishi 3 or samoa joe if he got a hair cut.. but maybe they will give him some promo time.. maybe make him a bit different.. But it IS his fault that he can't entertain us. The guy has the personality of a robot programed to have no personality. I just don't find his in ring ability to be that outstanding. And as it has been said before, he really is out of place in Legacy. I think after Ted Jr. returns they should they should all jump him Ahmed Johnson style and get rid of him. Then he could form a tag team with Umanga or go into some kind of apprentice position with him, teaching how to be a savage samoan like his father was.

I'm digging the name of the new stable. It's real kickass, as opposed to that stupid "Team Priceless" thing.

Yea really. What are they thinking with Manu?
That this chubby guy is gonna get over with a faction and then succeed outside of it later? It's a waste, he'll end up shaking his ass like Rikishi or something.
DH Smith or even the Hennig kid should be involved. Even if they "aren't ready." Because when Batista joined Evolution he was "so ready" for that to begin with.

Manu can't act for crap. I mean you can hear his mental process... "Okay, look on with a serious face... hold it... hold it..."

I dislike all of them so I don't really care, the only one I like is Dibiase who is not even there currently.

Get rid of Manu when Ted gets back and this could be a great stable. I wouldn't mind seeing Deuce join either.

This stable has no credibilty whatsoever besides orton.
When evolution was created, Triple H and Flair were already established. and it was obvious both Batista and Orton had a lot of potential.
Legacy however, just seems to be thrown together because their wrestlers sons, and i really dont see it becoming a historic stable.

I thought when Orton, Rodes and Manu fought Batista and Triple H last night there was a "chance" they would reform a new Evolution with the five guys including Batista. I really hate Batista but if he is heel and if he is a body gaurd for Evolution it redeems him somewhat so I was just really wanting for that to happen. Flair, TRiple H then Orton and Batista made it three generations of athletes. If they did the same with Triple H, then Orton and Batista , then Rhodes and Manu (and when Dibease returns he can join), it would be a new Evolution. It would not only redeem Batista, but Triple H, which I do like, works so much better if he were to do a group like this. I thought he was way better with Evolution. But since WWE would never turn Batista heel (which is a mistake), I thought atleast Triple H could of turned on Batista in the match and made the new Evolution group. With Orton always downing Dibease, Rhodes and Manu saying they don't have what it takes, and Triple H looking on in disagreement/agreement, and the three generations of wrestlers, it would really be better than the group only consisting of Orton, Manu and Rhodes. But oh well.

In my opinion, Orton, as much as I love him isn't the best guy to be running a stable of wrestlers, especially when the other guys are so undeveloped and have virtually no track record yet.
Orton's dry, emotionless promo is good for HIM because he is that cold character, but for me, it isn't the style of guy that should be the main vocal point of a stable.
You need to have someone with a loud or strong personality. Horsemen had Flair, DX had HBK and HHH, nWo had Hogan, Nash and Hall, Evolution hd Hunter and Ric.
Besides Orton, no one else in the stable could draw a dime ... which is okay because Batista and Orton were nobodies when Evolution started, but they had the HUGE, larger than life personalities of Ric and HHH to hitch onto. Orton's personality is not larger than life and combining that with two other guys who are rookies with no real characters or mic skills yet because they havent had time to develop them, you have something that seems a little thin to me. I think someone needs to be added that either has more seniority and legend than Orton or someone with a more boisterous personality.

There will never be another Evolution. One of a Kind. Not really, when you consider that Evolution itself was just the Four Horsemen under a different name.

Replace Rhodes with Dibiase, and the group is amazing.

i started off joking about it but it really does sound racist when people talk about manu "not fitting in". so he's not lily white and jacked, he's got an 80's look going on and he's a second generationer.

I think people are overreacting to this thing. I mean, would either of the other Legacy members look right in a group of Samoans, or black guys? No. It may sound like I'm suggesting segregation but I'm really not. I'm just saying that with the attitude of the group and the look that they are going for, he just DOES NOT FIT IN. The fact that he's a fat Samoan just doesn't help it.

I love how everyone compares Manu to Umaga, simply because they're Samoan. Based on that theory, then Shelton Benjamin and R-Truth are exactly the same

Legacy or whatever this group will be called cannot be compared to Evolution, as the talent is definitely not proportioned and I don't think anyone is expecting this group to dominate WWE and hold every title belt.
Strong booking will be the key to their success on Raw, as it just wouldn't be for the best to throw guys like Rhodes and Manu out there with the likes of Triple H and Batista right now. They still need to work their way up to become good to great heels and, as far as I'm concerned, Orton is the super glue holding this group/faction/stable/whatever together at the moment.
In other words, I only look at Rhodes and Manu as legit threats when Orton is around, because otherwise, they scream mid-card to me and not exactly the "future of this business." Now, I'm not writing them off yet, but I think Dibiase needs to come back soon or be in some way integrated into a storyline with them to keep his name fresh with fans. I don't think the majority of fans care about either Rhodes or Manu right now, as the majority of the focus has been on Orton.
I think Dibiase is the future and he has all of the necessary skills to get there, whereas Rhodes and Manu are noticeably...different on the mic and in their appearances. As long as Dibiase isn't forgotten about, I have no problems with there actually being stables in wrestling once again. Orton is the perfect leader for this group, and I love the role he has taken on since returning from injury. I like the proposed name of 'Legacy', but the verdict is still out on the talent and make-up of the group for me.
