When WWE partnered Heath Slater, Jinder Mahal and Drew McIntyre together as 3MB several years ago, they started out being treated as a group that might actually rise about their individual statuses as jobbers. 3MB won a couple matches initially before falling into the role they would occupy for the duration of the group, as cannon fodder for everyone else on the roster. Now, Slater has partnered with fellow jobbers Curtis Axel, Bo Dallas and Adam Rose to form the Social Outcasts, a group that sprung to reality last week and worked together so Slater could defeat poor Dolph Ziggler. Its a promising start for the group, but will this rebirth of the JOB Squad fall victim to the same trappings 3MB did before and just become WWEs go-to losers? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XX3cdZf6aNM If the Social Outcasts get face time Monday night and are successful again, then maybe well see them be treated as something more than a bunch of losers. One can only dare to dream
