What's their point on being together? Why they formed this trio? What they want? Just because they're 3 guys singing some gospel and dance they have a point to be there? They're not interesting at all. That's why people don't like them. this is perfect. for me to get behind and believe in a xharacter or gimmick, it has to be interesting, and make some sort of sense to me. it would've gotten over more I think if they debuted like this. but theses guys have been around for awhile, in Kofi's case many years. and they suddenly became, like,born-again preachers or something? and they love everything and everything is great?! especially Kofi, who had been misused for years? I could get more behind, and believe in, a New day group that was a bit disgruntled, Kofi for never being allowed to break the glass ceiling, Big E for being a star on the rise just a little under 2 years ago, and Xavier for never being allowed to even get started. these are 3 guys who have legitimate reasons to have gripes. instead, they band together to be ... happy about being stuck in the midcard?

You throw three black guys together for no reason and have them shuck and jive and give sermons in 2015 and you wonder why they don't get over?
The alternate angry black men gimmick wouldn't be any better either.

The alternate angry black men gimmick wouldn't be any better either. I wouldn't necessarily want them to be angry all the time- something along the line of it's The New Day - for them. The New Day where they start doing what is necessaty to get to the top. The New Day, where they're not going to be overlooked anymore.

I love New Day but WWE basically through them together and said "Here you're a team now, have fun," and hasn't pushed them or put any effort into developing them.

Kayfabe-wise when a superstar's goal is to "Just have fun out there," and not become the best guy in the business, or be the best tag team in the business, then why the are you a wrestler?

The worst part is these guys are fun and entertaining wrestlers. If they stripped the name and the dumb gimmick and just let them be themselves and go out there and have fun matches, it'd be great.
I think Kofi and Big E are a really good team but they are being buried under this gimmick.
And for the love of God will Woods stop slapping the ring apron? How many times does he need to hear New Day Sucks before he stops doing it?

Have them lose a 6-man tag against like, Kidd and Cesaro and Miz or something, then get attacked after the match, have them fend off the attack, have Xavier try to turn and attack Big E with a chair, but Kofi hits him with a Trouble in Paradise, leaves the ring to his S.O.S theme, doing Boom Boom Boom, signifying that Kofi is back, feud with Woods, have Big E either side with Kofi or Xavier, that's how I'd do it, but again, I'm not the creative team.

I was probably one of the only fan's with a New Day logo sign at wrestlemania.Been a fan of all three before the stable.They have the skills,It's your choice to cheer or boo.I support the three cause I enjoy the matches they put on,would hate to see them left off tv for months while creative go's fishing.

Kayfabe-wise when a superstar's goal is to "Just have fun out there," and not become the best guy in the business, or be the best tag team in the business, then why the are you a wrestler? I was just thinking the same thing as I was reading through the thread. I think that's where the problem lies with a lot of the mid-card talent. The top guys get the "serious" angles, and the mid-card guys get the "fluff" angles. It's almost like their only purpose is to go out there and lighten the mood after a tense segment. This really struck home with me when I went back in time on You Tube to watch some of John Morrison's WWE matches. The biggest impression I was left with after watching a handful of his tag and single matches? "Damn. Miz and R-Truth used to be badasses. Now they're booked like clowns. What the hell happened?!?" The sad thing, as others have mentioned, is that Kofi, Big E, and Woods are good performers. They put on some great matches with Kidd and Cesaro a couple of months back. To the OP, Roman's Revenge...dude, I feel you. Some of these live crowds go out of their way to be disruptive to both the show and the performers, and I find it to be very disrespectful. My problem isn't with the fans who boo spontaneously because they're not enjoying a particular match or segment. My problem is with the fans who have an agenda before they even arrive at the arena. As far as I'm concerned, this past Monday's Raw crowd was behaving like a bunch of douchebags. However, I have to accept the fact that I'm in the minority here, and I also have to admit that I've read some very compelling counter points from fans that don't see things the same way I do, so I'm just chalking it up to the way wrestling and wrestling fans have changed and evolved over the last 20 years.

I think it's possible to get the baby face New Day group over with today's fans. What I would do is book them similar to the "heel" version of Bo Dallas's super positive BOLIEVE character only without the heel tactics. What I mean is, kind of book them how they are now, only super over the top. BOLIEVE got over because we were suppose to boo him. He was booked like an 80's face though. Today, it's almost like fans do the opposite of what they're "supposed" to do. So book New Day like over the top 80's faces you're supposed to boo, and today's fans will cheer them. I'd rather see Bo Dallas join New Day.
