I believe they all have good enough talent to get over as the next big faction only if used properly, Slater and Mahal i believe have natural mic skills and if given airtime can get over with the fans, and McIntyre has a good star look about him.
Seems like Slater is gonna be the 'leader' of this group and i dont think i think i speak for myself on this one saying the guy is very talented and is a short push away from getting the IC belt and then moving on to main event Wrestlemania 30 maybe against the rock?
It's hard to judge a group after only a few appearances together and without explaining their motives but I'm not a fan of Encore. McIntyre has a ton of potential but pairing him with Mahal and Slater is way too random. If they're supposed to be an air band I say pull the plug immediately.
- The new stable with Heath Slater, Jinder Mahal and Drew McIntyre is now being called The Band. There has been a lot of head scratching backstage at the group being put together on WWE TV.
People complain and you know what the funny thing is? Slater is probably the second or third most over heel in the company, people fucking despise him, lol. He always gets booed out the building.
Because he's really, really annoying. Annoying gets over, that doesn't make him a good heel. It's the wrong kind of heat, people want him to fuck off, not boo him because they're engaged in his programs.
The band...? Should have called them Misfits. I doubt they will last long. There just doesn't seem to be a point to it, other than them being a time filler.
Jinder Mahal totally needs this though. He needs to break out of his angry foreigner gimmick shell and add a whole lot of color. Whether this stable works out or not, this should help him at least.
He should be the Indian version of BxB Hulk. We need some Bollywood female dancers!
Agreed. Mahal doing ANYTHING other than the "I hate America" foreign heel is worth a shot. It's also good for Drew, since he needed to do SOMETHING different (and actually be given time to do it). Slater's just being Slater, but that works for him.
Oh how I laugh. Vickie has been a fantastic heel manager/gm. She's consistently drawn more heat for herself and her clients since coming into the business than anyone in a long time. That's her job, regrdless of how she does it.

Yep, and maybe this will help liking him. I would love to see something different because I hate Mahal right now. The new thing with Slater and McIntyre was the reason I got A LITTLE BIT of interest in him the last weeks.
Another point, McIntyre just needs somewhere to be on tv. He is great in the ring and delivers a great serious promo, something that is rare in WWE at the moment. Everything about him just reeks of a young Hunter. Hell, the other week his Future Shock DDT was actually named such, that's a rare thing for mid-card talent, never mind those who rarely feature on tv. Plus He's only 27, has a great physique. I don't mind him being a 'follower' of Slater. I just hope that he'll turn on Slater and go on his own. Sheamus/McIntyre with the proper build would be a money fued.
Is it me or can Slater not keep his eyes off of Mahal? (Judging by the pics)
Really, Mahal makes no sense in this stable, while I can but McIntyre and Slater doing this rediculous crap, Mahal went from having this intense, elitist, character to going "Aw fuck it, hey check out my royal indian style of air guitar!"
