Looks like Shera is next for a makeover/new character.

How hard is it to recruit people with a motive?

Manik - Could be the loner, the out cast of the X-division, eats his lunch alone, everyone ignores him and the Revolution adopt him as their own.

Abyss - Out back boasting that no one is as sick as him, James Storm pops up. Reminds how he smashed a bottle over Roode's skull, Gunner's father, then says tonight he will show how sick he is, bottles Dixie or a knockout. Abyss rejoices in the new found cult leader vision of darkness.

This is where I would have recruited Bram/Shaw instead to have a psycho stable.

Sanada - Have Muta slap him, constantly reminding him that he is representing Japan. He must not lose. Storm offers the chance to take that responsibility from him, he will lead the way.

Creative are just so lazy and give no reasons either to care about the group or cares why they joined. They can still have the shock factor of joining but explaining why.

You might think its a silly storyline, doesn't mean it actually is, he turned on Muta because Storm got into his head and said if he continued to listen to Muta he'd always be a loser and that he could lead him on the right path. You've not been watching.

Blah blah blah rip off of <insert any of a dozen factions/storylines> blah blah blah blah they have not spoon fed us so I do not understand 100% thus it sucks blah blah for some reason this makes me think of man on man rape which might be saying something about me blah blah blah.

You NEED an explaination. It is wrestling. Groups and storylines hardly ever have any real reason for happening anymore and sometimes make ZERO sense. Be it Y2J and his videos, The Shield, Wyatt Family, Managerie, etc in most cases they are done because guys need something to do and so they are given a "story". Some are more rounded out than others but pretty much all of them have only slightly less holes than swiss cheese. As for the Revolution, for now it is about Storm realizing that there is strength in numbers and he needs some lackeys. It worked for Bully so why not him. Especially now that his ol buddy Roode has the strap again. Maybe there will be a bigger picture revealed later. Maybe not. I just know Aces and 8s took the same heat. Then Bully cut a promo and a lot of people went "oh that makes sense now. Not great but not bad". So who knows.

When you're trying to do a dark and gritty story line you need as much story as possible. They've turned 3 baby faces heel for absolutely no reason. You can't compare that to other stables.

Story line makes no sense. Again, like PP it doesn't make you less of a fan for coming out and saying "Hey, this is silly"

TNA never bothered to explain it so everyone else is in the same boat as you. No event occurred to make Storm turn into a cult leader and it doesn't make sense that he is one.

Sanada joining made no sense, Manik joined for no reason and now this new guy is joining for absolutely no reason. Abyss joined for no reason also.

Story line has been around for months now as well so TNA can't go back and explain it. They're stuck.

Just looks like a cheap imitation of Bray Wyatt in my opinion. James Storm comes to the local Indy promotion in my town from time to time. I need to ask him WTF I guess. Just TNA being TNA in my opinion. I quit caring about that promotion a long time back. I was thinking about starting back when it begins on Discovery America but story lines like this will send me heading back to the remote in a hurry.

If you knew anything about the stable, it is far from the Wyatt Family.

Lol maybe this is because I always thought Storm could be a big player in pro-wrestling. Don't give me that he does the same shit over and over again, so did Stone Cold.

Him and Abyss aren't the worst pairing in the world. I like that they're giving those random guys some sort of direction. I'm just hoping that when they break up, it involves the guys standing up to Storm/Abyss and creating a feud amongst them. They're clearly somewhat high on Shera at the moment, lets see how he does. This is far from the worst thing they've ever done and I really don't see why everybody thinks its bad.

Either it's a very "confusing" storyline or a clear wyatt rip off, you can't have both.

If you honestly don't get it, it's basically a red neck version of the flock. In both cases you have a great heel being forced to cope with weaker talent to put them over.

James Storm can't catch a break, the guy has been babysitting other guys for ages.

My least favorite storyline in TNA right now. Who in the hell is this guy? Why does he need a makeover? Has he even had a match on television yet? Why partner him with James Storm? At least both Manik and Sanada have a reason to follow the guy. (Sanada looking for a new mentor and Manik's career being pretty much irrelevant)

But why the new guy? These are logical questions that wouldn't even need much effort in answering.

I don't like how Manik fits in the group. to me he should be a high flying face the fans can cheer for. even when he talks I see him coming off as a nice guy face, like how when he was talking to this Mahawhatever.
I've seen people complain about the duds in the Menagerie, but this group is just as bad. you have IMO a clear main event potential guy in Storm, and then a bunch of circus clowns.
 
#25 ·
I'd suggest that this is worse than The Menagerie. The Menagerie make zero sense (It's been MONTHS. How come the man who sent them to earn money hasn't popped up?) but at least The Menagerie are just a lower midcard stable.

TNA seem to be pushing Storm as a main event guy so it really was important that they got everything right with The Revolution.

Storm takes advantage of insecure talent to create his own "family" for his own good. If this shit is confusing I'm not surprised pro wrestling writting has become as vanilla as it is.

My main problem with it, is that Storm doesn't need these guys. Put a guy like Sam Shaw in his position for example and it would be a more interesting... But I do like his new fucked up GF angle.
