10 Mistakes WWE Has Already Made With RETRIBUTION
3. Awful Scripted Promos
It's very hard to find a good promo on the main roster. Don't get us wrong, there are some incredible talkers such as Samoa Joe and Paul Heyman. The difficult thing is finding performers who can deliver the incredibly stilted, scripted garbage that the creative team come up with each week.
RETRIBUTION were given some AWFUL garbage to spout during their introductory period. From the single-camera promo to their in-ring promo, they have been given some of the worst dialogue in recent years. Lines such as "we hope you enjoy your last days in oblivion" or "we're here to gut your reality" are the absolute worst. They don't have any impact because they aren't natural. It makes the group look like Saturday morning cartoon fodder for the Ninja Turtles.
The majority of the group have all proven they are good talkers. Dio Madden was even a part of RAW's commentary team! Just give these guys the mic and let them go out there and tell their own stories. Create their own characters. Then WWE, you might be onto something with the group.
