I was thinking about this segment, and it's horrible, because the only time he was over was with the Nexus, which was more Barrett, Gabriel, etc. that were over, or with Primetime Players, again more Titus being over. I know Darren Young came up with the storyline, but there's two wrestlers that would have been so much better in these things than Darren Young, one that I always though made sense, and one thay after Kevin Castle said it, it also makes a lot of sense. Damien Sandow or Jack Swagger would have made this story a hell lot better than Darren Young. Sandow more for the skits, Swagger more for the wrestling. IDK who else agrees with Swagger, i know a lot agree with Sandow. This is all a political move and a PC thing that Darren is in this storyline.

Swagger would've been the best choice. I'm willing to give it a shot though. I can't wait until the backlund heel turn.

I think these skits have all been awful. Darren Young is so boring, and Backlund is ridiculous.
I wonder if he will ever actually wrestle? Now that he can use the Crossface Chickenwing, he can pick up some wins. But who deserves to lose to D Young?

The thing I've been wondering the whole time is... when was Darren Young great in the first place?

He wrestled the Miz for the IC title at a house show I attended Sunday night in Huntington, West Virginia. Backlund was in his corner and added absolutely nothing to the match. It ended by DQ when Maryse got involved. I see this whole angle/storyline being dropped and quickly forgotten by the end of summer.

I've said before that this seemed tailor made for someone like Swagger. One last effort for the poor guy.

It won't do anything for him. These promos have done nothing but prove how bland he actually is.
Him and Titus are one of those teams that should have just stuck together forever. I can't see either of them really doing anything spectacular in singles runs. They tried before and failed and it will fall short again.

I've never once found this guy or Titus even the least bit entertaining. Also, his acting in these promos have been absolutely cringe-worthy.

WWE should release him.

while jack swagger would make more sense, i never thought he was very great to begin with. and yeah, the darren skits aren't gaining much attraction, but honestly what skits helped revitalize ANYONE'S career? having these stupid pre-run videos almost guarantees a short run and then doom. there's just nothing to build off of.

The whole thing with him and Backlund in different places and also just seems pre-recorded from both sides makes it appear so weird.

Never been much of a fan of either Swagger or Sandow, I'd much rather see Young in the storyline as he hasnt been given the singles run opportunity that Sandow or Swagger had. Like you said he's always been in a team / faction and has been out done by other guys, maybe they can build him up against nobodies like they do in NXT before getting him in the ring for a proper feud

Should've been Sandow.
...But then he wouldn't be the Intellectual Savior of the Unwashed Masses.

I love me some Sandow. Swagger, eh. I just really want the best for Darren Young, he seems like one of the most genuine guys in WWE.

wow lots of hate.
I'm a huge Sandow fan myself and he would be perfect in this storyline but such is life. Swagger has had his chances and is just a step under Dolph Ziggler now.
I'm looking forward to Young/Backlund on TV. I see the house show was no good but then again it was against the I-C champ so there had to be a crap finish; but I do see potential in nice-guy D Young and crazy old kook Backlund. I'm just waiting for WWE to turn the corner and start doing gay inuendo jokes with Young at Backlund's expense (y'know because he is from an older generation that don't get it).
Anyone ever thought of pairing Backlund & Ric Flair together as an old-timer tag team, much like Bruiser & Crusher in their latter years?

I never thought of Backlund with Swagger, but it could have worked. Swagger is very talented, but he needs a mouthpiece. Even if that mouthpiece is bat-poop crazy. And at least Swagger has had some success. So the slogan "Make Swagger great again" would have made more sense.
And Swagger breaking out a Cross-Face Chicken-Wing occasionally would have been great. I've always liked that move.

If he was ever great then it could work, but he wasn't. So it's just really weird and confusing. Zack Ryder or someone like that could have worked, people actually want to see him too.

i have no problems with Darren Young. but it's clear as day that he & titus are perfect together and horrendous as singles guys. this whole thing with Young is awful. in every possible way. im hoping it goes the route of so many other things and they just drop it without explanation
