|  #1 Posted on 13.8.02 1003.57 | Think of how far Test, Christain, and Lance have come. Two or three months ago Test was simply a "Hoss" with no story or motivation, Christain was a jobber who threw tantrums and only beat guys like Hugh Morrus and Funaki on Velocity, and Lance Storm was a lower-midcarder on Smackdown. Now they get more heat than any other group/heel. Plus, they have the belts, have beaten Rock and Hogan twice in tag-team format, have beaten Edge and the Undertaker, and main evented RAW.

| #2 Posted on 13.8.02 1009.27 | Yeah, the gimic works for them.
But last night, I couldn't help thinking,"When is some wacko super-American fan who doesn't get the whole "wrestling isn't real" ethos...when is that fan going to come out of the crowd and shoot these guys."
There is basically no security check when you go the live events (and why should there be, right). Maybe I'm crazy and dimented but it seems to me that these three guys are pretty brave to put on this act during this time.
Still, like I said before, the gimic works for them.

| #3 Posted on 13.8.02 1017.09 | The crowd is voraciously against the Unamericans, but I would say if anyone would have been killed by a crazy patriotic fan, it would have been Iraqi Slaughter or Bret Hart.
Granted, the 9-11 attacks didn't happen back then, so you never know.

| #5 Posted on 13.8.02 1056.58 | I know this has been said before but who is best to represent than a black hustler,a gold movie-quoting freak and a redneck Undead biker.It kinda shows how big of a melting post America is.
While The UnAmericans are represented by 3 white guys.

| #7 Posted on 13.8.02 1212.36 | CRZ mentioned this in his RAW recap, but I noticed that the Un-Americans were wearing the new upside-down flag T-shirts, and I swear, when Storm took his off, I could see the little WWE logo in the back. I thought to myselg, "Good Gosh, they're not gonna try to sell these on ShopZone, are they?!" As much as I like how they draw so much heel heat, I fear that, like Amazing Salami and Parts Unknown have mentioned, some Super-Psycho-Patriotic-Mark will end up blowing the Un-Americans to kingdom come... and we'll have no one to blame but the writers.

Twas a bullshit story. They moved WM7 because there was no way they'd come remotely CLOSE to filling the L.A. Colisseum.

| #9 Posted on 13.8.02 1328.19 | To go along with Thomas' reply, the first RAW after Summerslam is in MSG in NYC. I've spoken to at least one NYC fan (who seems to be a reasonable person) who's not down with the whole upside-down flag thing. I can't help but wonder... if Vince and the WWF, er, WWE decide to push the whole Un-Americans gig, complete with upside down flags, in the heart of midtown Manhattan with less than a year removed from 9-11... would that literally and figuratively blow up in the WWE's collective faces?
Might be a good night to just let Storm, Christian, and Test have the night off, methinks... the results otherwise could be worse than Iraqi Slaughter.
