Welcome to Gaia! ::

Saw RAW Monday... enjoyed the show. It was a nice Wrestlemania hype show as well as other goodies. Gotta say, the Spirit Squad are freakin' awesome. One of the better and original ideas that the WWE has come up with in a long time. In fact, this gimmick absolutely KILLS the Team Canada gimmick in NWA-TNA. I'm not saying that the wrestlers are better, for Team Canada in TNA has a few gems that can really wrestle, but the gimmick of the Spirit Squad is far greater. It's something called originality. Instead of asking yourself how many times the Team Canada gimmick has been done, you should ask yourself when HASN'T it been done? And boy are the Spirit Squad getting crazy heat. THIS is how you push the homophobe buttons of wrestling fans, NOT lame angles like Billy & Chuck or even Rico. Male cheerleaders have been laughed at from the test of time, even though they are way better athletes than all of us. The move where the Squad picks you up by each limb for the drop is tremendous and these guys have awesome multiple-team moves. Best stable gimmick in YEARS, folks, and they are only midcard guys.



What's great about the Squad is if one guy gets over as a face and wants to break off on his own, he just has to turn on his squad members. That will give him INSTANT cheers, because again, male cheerleaders are hated. When I saw these guys in Wheeling, WV for a RAW houseshow, they received tremendous heat and they weren't even known back then. In fact, they were only 2 members at the time! Now, they are five, and boy do they piss off fans. I'm starting to notice that the Squad's opponents seem to have a little kick in their step when facing the Squad as if it's their dream come true to attack a male cheerleader. It probably is! Great gimmick and I applaud the WWE writer who had to guts to present the idea with the fear of being laughed at. In fact, I applaud the McMahons for actually allowing the gimmick to happen. This gimmick will have longer staying power than a fatassed pimp, a mentally challenged wrestling mark, and a former porn star.

I like the Spirit Squad, but I think their team move where they pick you up by each limb is gay. It doesn't even look like it hurts. They should do something like the Mexicools, let all five members take turns doing a flip and/or legdrop on one person, lol. Anyways, I'm sure they'll eventually break up and become their own individual wrestlers.

Nope, it doesn't.

I like the trampolene moves they've pulled off. That one guy gets dome good air for the leg drop.

I don't like their gimmick too much but I'm a huge fan of their in-ring ability.

NOt only are you getting lifted 5 or more ft into the air, but it's by your arms and legs, you CANNOT say that it wouldn't hurt.

They have impressive wrestling skills...but they are annoying.

These guys are hilarious, I like them for their in-ring ability, but their personality puts me in the mind of (and I love this woman, but I gotta say this) Christy Hemme

lay off the coffee boys

especially you, Mikey

Mikey's my favorite. xd
