WWE has a long history with stables. The Nation of Domination was one such legendary group in the Attitude Era. The PG era-version of that? A New Day. It absolutely sucks.

It sucks for a lot of reasons, too. Let’s go through the two main ones.

The Members Suck

Big E Langston is a charisma vacuum that comes across like he has an attitude about people not liking him when they are “supposed to.” Well mister, you’re boring and maybe if you did your job better and didn’t come across as entitled, we would like you a little more. Pecs don’t equal talent. Also, the singlet is stupid for you, dude.

Kofi Kingston hasn’t been interesting in years because his gimmick never changes and he is the perennial-midcarder. I think he is the most talented member of the group but man, turn heel or something.

Xavier Woods is totally uninteresting. He has ridden on the laurel that he is “about to get his pHd” and who knows, maybe he has it by now. I could say I’m about to get my fucking M.D. and be a year into college. Doesn’t mean shit until you have it and it still doesn’t mean shit because you ain’t nuthin. Woods just grins a lot and looks desperate for TV time, like one of those desperate people who just crave attention but don’t do anything worthwhile with it when they get it.

The Entire Gimmick is Stupid

The whole gimmick is that they’re black guys who are going to make a new day for themselves. Problem is – they’ve done nothing but lost since debuting, which they were doing leading into this gimmick. Also, why does it have to be all black guys? Probably because Vince hates black people. The only stereotype he can think of when he looks at a black guy is a Black Panther or a stompin’ preacher with a choir of all black-yelling ladies behind them. That’s essentially what A New Day is. He has come up with other gimmicks for black people that don’t exactly scream “creative” to me, either. Most are fairly offensive.

 

 

So while A New Day isn’t QUITE as bad as Crime Time, it is still a stereotype that lacks any creativity and that’s why fans are bored with it already.

It showed during the Royal Rumble, anytime one of the group would come out to their shitty music. Fans would groan. The titantron sucks bad, too. Just a bunch of black women clapping like some big shit is going on with Xavier saying THIS…is a new day. But it’s not, dude. It’s an old day. You’re still a loser and this crappy gimmick needs to be put out to pasture faster than The Oddities.
