10 WWE Booking Steps To Save The Members Of RETRIBUTION

10. Ditch The Names

An easy one to start off with; get rid of those names. Seriously.

Just imagine this; a young fan who has just gotten into professional wrestling a few weeks ago switches on the television with his dad.

"Dad, when I grow up, I wanna be just like Slapjack!"

"Sure, son, Sure..."

RETRIBUTION were effectively ruined the minute they were revealed. Had the members kept their NXT ring names, all would have been a tad finer, even if they did go down the exact same path of nothingness they were on since last August.

Time's up. No more Mace, T-Bar, Slapjack, or Reckoning; we need Dio Maddin, Dominik Dijakovic, Shane Thorne, and Mia Yim to come back.

There is physically no way that they can stay in WWE if they continue to wrestle under those utterly abysmal monikers. Your writer, who has sat through some genuinely disgusting moments in his thirteen years as a fan, is still to this day astonished that WWE would ruin the reputation Dijakovic, Thorne, and Yim had made for themselves prior to WWE. Granted, Maddin wasn't really an indie darling, so it didn't matter too much in his case, but the point remains.

The same goes for those masks. What was Vince thinking?
