10 WWE Stars Who Will Leave In 2021
7. The Viking Raiders
WWE tried to present The Viking Raiders as romping, stomping bad asses who rolled over all competition. Then, they did a complete 180 and decided that Erik and Ivar needed to be light comedy relief who goofed around in skits with The Street Profits. Neither approach has worked.
Alarm bells are ringing.
War Machine were a sick modern update on classic tags like The Road Warriors, Demolition and The Powers Of Pain outside WWE. They had genuine presence, could work their arses off and constantly wowed audiences with impressive spots that defied their bulk. Where is that head-turning awesomeness now?
It's non-existent. The Raiders are less impressive than Art Shell's 2006 Oakland Raiders, and there are no guarantees of improvement once Ivar recovers from injury. These lads might be better off cutting their losses and returning to former glory in Japan.
