I’ve only seen the retribution video so far. Is the show worth watching for those that saw it? I caught the last 45 minutes of the show. From what I saw, I'd say no.

He was never someone I was big on until The Bar. I’ve been a big fan of his since then. His look in the bar fight with Jeff a few weeks ago was the most intimidating I’ve ever seen him look haha Him and Big Show had a killer last man standing at a house show I went to like 10 years ago lol

Just watched the closing segment. If Vince & Bruce are actually doing a "political faction", I have a bad feeling about how this will play out and how it will be received by non-religious WWE viewers. Not going to comment on what I thought about it. I don't think that'd be well received.
SmackDown has been better in ring lately, so I hope they put more focus on the actual matches.

How dare you accuse an angle specifically designed for pro wrestling of being associated with a social/political statement. WWE Programming is meant to be a temporary distraction from the real world. They wouldn't dare introduce something with such a divisive message. ... LOL

Imagine having people the size of Otis, Tucker, Sheamus, Cesaro, etc... in the back and having them have to pretend to be scared of some prepubescent kids with baseball bats lol

A show that has Otis, Tucker, Braun, Cesaro and sheamus. are scared of 5 foot vanilla midgets i find that hard to believe. Exactly. And a lot of those guys are not only huge, but they have a NCAA wrestling or a boxing/kickboxing background as well.

If not Lio Rush, maybe that Leon Ruff? There aren't too many short, black blokes in NXT. Imagine if it was Woods though - what a swerve that would be.

I was on youtube and saw a video of this. I watch Raw, but DON'T watch Smackdown. At all. Don't read about it. Don't care. They generally don't intertwine so it's no big deal. Based on the ratings, opinions of friends, and even the involvement in the threads on here, I'm not the only one who watches one or the other.
Revealing these goofs the way they did on Smackdown after introducing the concept on Raw was a dumbass move in my opinion. They said last week before Raw that they were going to debut a new faction, and then we got a stupid 25 second video. This was a debut, and it was on the wrong show. Don't get me wrong. Based on the highlights I saw of them on Smackdown, I'm glad that anal leakage of a segment wasn't on Raw, but it (gulp) should have been on Raw.
And now that we've seen them, do they look even remotely close to people the wrestlers in the locker rooms should be "afraid" of?

^ if this continues (no guarantee with Vince getting bored of things quickly) then surely the midgets in the ring on Friday were just doing the dirty work of the leader/leaders who will be much bigger you would hope.
I thought the episode was pretty good, the ending came across as a bit lame but you have to give these things time, it might improve. Loving the feud with Sonya and Mandy (Mandy looked damn good tonight in that white top, nice) Riddle and Sheamus had a good match, Corbin vs Hardy was decent.
