Who knew that Maxxine and Max Dupri would spin out of MMM (say it out loud) to join Alpha Academy and become LA Knight respectively? Together, the kayfabe siblings represented Mace and Mansoor as the Maximum Male Models. This had Vince McMahon's creative fingerprints all over it, but that doesn't necessarily mean it sucked automatically.

In fact, everyone did their best to make it work.

Yes, Knight knew deep down he was capable of more than playing manager, but the whole act did turn some heads - at least initially. Hell, Mace and Mansoor are still sticking to the model thing in AEW, so it can't have been that bad. WWE just didn't really get behind MMM for longer than an overpriced cup of coffee.

This writer will always maintain that Maximum Male Models could've been a credit to WWE's tag division had they gone further with it. Mace and Mansoor complement one another as partners, Maxxine is talented, and...well, they had LA f'n Knight in their midst.
