Am I the only one who think these two suck ? During both matches at Judgment Day and Raw, they looked very lost... like they had no idea what they were suppose to be doing.

 

Could it be just because they are still very Green, or could it just be who they are working with... Test and Scott Steiner.

 

Also... as we all know, the Tag Team on Raw is CRAP.

 

RVD / Kane - Only " REAL " team on Raw

Test / Scott Steiner - About to start their own feud over Stacy

The Dudleyz - Ugh... as long as it keeps them out of singles action.

3MW - :firing:

 

That leaves these two. Would they be given a run with the Titles ?

 

What do you think of them ? Where will they end up ?

I read somewhere (most likely on here) that they were considered very very green backstage. Why would they bring them up from OVW or where ever when they have capable wrestlers who know what the fuck they're doing? The only thing I can think of is to capitalize on the war but no one gives a fuck anyways.

I mean now, with Scott Steiner & Test feuding with each other, they have no direction.

 

I'm thinking they should be shipped to OVW.

 

Weren't they brought in for that Debate CRAP between Steiner / Nowitski (sp ?)

The Dudley Boyz are the only 'real' tag team on RAW.

 

Kane & RVD suck nuts. They need to split...BADLY. Kane is TERRIBLE.

Agreed. And the dumbasses had a perfect oppertunity after Kane attacked Rob after he got eliminated at Judgment Day, but NOOO....

Kane is only good in tag teams, who else can carry him, that is over?

 

Le Frenchies could start wrestling Canadians, start a Quebec vs Canada feud. Le Frenchies vs Jericho & Christian or Test & Val Venis.

Since the war is over and the "french hate" rightfully died with it, this gimmick is a dead end and will lead to jobber status until they are sent back down to OVW, probably.

I've read that Dupree is a real talent but is still very green (he's only 19 years old), however Greiner is only in due to his "friendship" with Pat Patterson. Personally I like them as it gives me a chance to do French accents during Raw, which I usually find more fun than Raw itself.

They're terrible and should be sent to OVW. There was no reason to team up Test & Scott Steiner. There was no reason for a "Debate" between Nowitski & Steiner. It all shouldn't have led up to Steiner & Test Vs. La Resistance for $35 either...

The war might be over and that may have cost La Resistance some steam, but there is ALWAYS room for snobby foreign heels on a wrestling program. Hell, America hasn't been at war with Japan for 50+ years, and that didn't stop Vince from giving Yokozuna the monster push, did it? And since France's reputation for being pussies and not liking Americans goes back way longer than the Iraq war, these characters do have a place on RAW.

 

Too bad they're not ready for the big-time yet. As I said before, there will always be room for snobby French heels in WWE. So why couldn't Vince wait until these two were more prepared before throwing them out there?

They are not impressive wrestlers and their gimmick is very dry. I think that their accents need work and they need a new outfits.....

What exactly do you mean by "friendship?"

They seem very basic. It maybe the WWE's Necessity in having a stronger tag division on Raw, and bascially just shoved the La Resistiance up too early from OVW.

They really don't fit into RAW right now. It was really.......a bad idea to make them a formidable team.....

JR and Tom Pritchard have both publicly expressed that it was against many WWE principles to call them up from OVW but basically the opportunity to capitualise on the anti-French sentiment that exists only in America was an opportunity that could not be missed.

 

So they are both green and are not exactly wrestling against the best of workers at the moment, which does not bode well. Unfortunately, they are also portrayed as a bit of a comedy team at the moment. I would have preferred a bit of aggression and nastiness included in their make-up to make them seem a real threat to the fans.

I'm not sure I've ever seen two guys bring less to the table than these guys. Sure they don't seem to mess anything up from what I can tell, but that's because they don't actually do anything. The most complex thing I have seen them do is the double spinebuster and all that is picking a guy up and throwing them down. Other than that, it is all punches and chinlocks and nothing else. Not to mention I can barely tell them apart, so you know JR is never going to be able to keep them strait.

They are just going to keep hyping these two up until the big money making PPV match with the APA. Can you feel the excitement?

Should have waited and brought them in as the Mounties. It wouldn't have been any worse. :P

Accents need work? They're French-Canadian, they're not putting on an accent (maybe over-playing the accent, if anything)

French hate was around BEFORE the war, and French hate will be around for a long time to come... no one likes the french. It's basically an unwritten rule

Their gimmick is lame. It is just Vince and the writing team's cheap heat dig at the French.

 

As far as potential, they probrably need another year or so in OVW. They do have a look about them and have WWE bodies. They just need moe seasoning and repackaging and they could be something.

"WWE Bodies" = Better "look" through chemistry, but any second a muscle could tear and they'll be out for a while.

 

Of course, these days it seems just lousy luck (Edge, Rey, Chavo, etc).

 

Time will tell...maybe they'll be able to make the gimmick work and improve in the ring, or just be repackaged into the New Rougeaus.

A French-Canadian accent is much different than a French accent. You would do just as well comparing someone from California with someone from Manchester. They both speak English, right?

Exactly, either that or a quick squash against RVD & Kane at Bad Blood. I really think if they are still around by then it will happen, quite the parallel!

D'oh. I keep forgetting they're supposed to be from France, rather than just French-Canadian. My bad.

Not everyone hates the French. I, for one, don't. True, I have made fun of them in the past, but I do that to every country. Didn't all the negative French heat start when they surrendered to Germany in WWII? It seems kinda lame to hate the French for something they did that long ago. Nowadays, the only people who really bash the French are the Archie Bunker crowd and people that cater to the Archie Bunker crowd. It's odd that the once Imperialist France has gone from feared to jeered.

 

Maybe one day they can get their evilness back.

I would pay good money to see Layfield get his assed kicked by two French guys. That would scar him for life. They could even have the match in Texas. :firedevil:
