WWE has several Canadian wrestlers on the roster at the moment, which got me to thinking of doing another Canadian stable. Canada vs USA feud. We all know it's done before and might be the one thing that could fans to support Roman.

Have Jericho act as leader of the group. The one thing Jericho has never done in WWE is been apart of faction, much less lead one. Closest thing obviously when he had association, was aliged with The UnAmericans.

I'm Canadian and at the start of the League of Nations run I wanted Jericho to join. But after feeding Roman every Monday I'm glad that never happened.

They should just play up Kevin Owens and Jericho's kayfabe friendship more. They work well off of each other. Kevin Owens is also way too good to stick into a stable, and it wouldn't fit his prize fighter gimmick. Who else would Jericho recruit? Wait for Tyson Kidd to come back (which he might not) and who else? Does he slip something in Sami Zayn's drink to turn him heel?

Or does he create a "Canadian Legends" stable where he convinces, Brett Hart, Edge and Christian to come out of retirement?

I suppose he could recruit Eric Young and Bobby Roode. It could work but I don't see it.

Also as a Canadian I know the WWE would offend the fuck out of me. Just think at Roadblock they had a Canadian (Jericho) come out and act as a heel to the crowd, basically saying fuck you Canada, then they had fucking Jack Swagger, Mr. America, come out as the face. The WWE wanted the Canadian fans to cheer for the ultra American against a Canadian legend. God that pissed me off.

Edit: Also if they did indeed create a Canadian faction, don't put them against another "country faction". If it's against the US they're going to trash Canada to get the US "face" stable to get cheers. If it's a country that isn't the US, the US fans in the arena wouldn't give two shits about the feud and the program wouldn't get any pop or hype.

Maybe some It Factor?


That'd be an awesome 3 man unit.

They don't have a larger than life Canadian like Bret to pull that off...Jericho's character has been cheapened on so many levels over the years and I tip my hat to him for staying relevant despite all the hurdles put in his way.

I've never understood why WWE has done this in the past, or even why fans want this. But then again, I have no clue why people are patriotic, it's dumb.

If anything do a morality/ideals stable. I don't mean religious or anything like that. More of 'this is what I/we stand for!' something people can actually get behind and relate to. If you want the group to be heel, have them go about it in horrible ways that make you question whether you should support them despite agreeing with them.

I'd prefer a fresh twist on the whole patriotism angle and have HeelCanada vs FaceCanada because we just saw the demise of LoN which was a disaster so if WWE go ahead with another 'nation' stable they need to make it original to get appeal.

I do agree with this though

CM Punk's last stable run with Gallows, Serena & Mercury as Straight Edge Society generated huge Heat and was the last time WWE had a successful morals stable.

Exactly. They were so in the right about it all, but you couldn't help hate them. It was so perfectly done. Well.. the morality part anyway, we all know how badly WWE screwed that up.

There are so many issues these days that can be used for a morality stable as well. Just need to get the correct one, with the correct superstars. Booking needs to not be shit either, obviously.
