New WWE Stable on the Way

I read recently that WWE is considering putting together a new stable. With the breakup of Legacy—and wasn’t it about time—Randy Orton, Cody
Rhodes, and Ted DiBiase Jr. all have openings for new storylines. What I read is that WWE is considering forming a stable called the Fortunate Sons. The stable will be headed by Ted DiBiase Jr. and comprised of his younger brother Brett DiBiase and Joe Hennig (son of Curt Hennig), who are both currently working with each other in a well-regarded fued in the FCW developmental federation. Of Course, this idea raises a few points with me.

First, what about Cody Rhodes? It is my opinion—and feel free to disagree if you like—that Cody Rhodes may be the best wrestler out of the three men that formerly comprised Legacy. Randy Orton is no prize these days. He may be one of WWe’s top stars but the guyh is made of glass. Randy Orton’s in-ring style has noticeably changed in the past year or so since he returned from his shoulder injury. He spends less time in the rin wrestling and more time slinking around outside the ring jawing with the crowd. His matches are rarely exciting or entertaining anymore. And let’s not forget to mention the fact that the guy is an asshole in the backstage and in his personal life.

Ted DiBiase Jr. may be a very sound technical wrestler, but again, Cody Rhodes has him beat. DiBiase is solid in the ring, but not always very exciting and his promos tend to be long, labored, and downright boring. Which of course raises my second question, why have DiBiase head the faction? Honestly, if I have to endure him getting major promo time, I may shoot myself. He might actually be more boring on the mic than the “new and improved” chris Jericho, and Jericho makes me want to pour acid into my ears lately.

So here’s what’s going on. Randy Orton will be shoved into another high card or main event storyline with another wrestler equally as boring as him, probably John Cena. Ted DiBiase will end up heading the Fortunate Sons and cody Rhodes will get screwed over by the whole deal. This is yet again an example of WWE’s flat out incompetence in managing their roster. Talented guys like Cody Rhodes, Matt Hardy, MVP, and so many others get tossed into mid-card or low-card stories usually meant to push somebody else who’s on their way up, and old geezers and marginally talented hacks get all the damn attention.
