I'm a Randy Orton fan, as well as Legacy. But it seems like their missing something.

To me they don't seem like a legit stable. If you look at Evolution they dominated each division. (Main, Mid, and Tag).

With Legacy you have Orton getting beat up by non wrestlers (Shane), old guys (Flair), and just getting flat out destroyed by Batista and HHH week in and week out. And then you have Ted and Cody. Their pretty much worthless. And are pretty much just RKO's lackeys that are just their to save him.

WQ: Do you think that the Wwe did a bad job with Legacy?

WQ2: Would you like to see an Arn Anderson type wrestler added to Legacy?

WQ3: How long do you think Legacy will last? Longer or shorter than Evolution?

WQ4: Do you think that they will ever dominate each division like Evolution did?

Legacy can't be dominating as Evolution. Because the leader here is Orton, who is booked weak often, compared with Triple H, who has always been dominating throughout his career, if I am not wrong.. and the numbers play a part too..



Legacy do lack a wrestler, who can play a part at mid-card level and go on a rivalry with US Champion for some credibility for the stable..





WQ1: Sure, WWE did a bad job, if we looked at Legacy and thought they would be a dominating heel stable.. But it seems not to be formed for that.. There is no evidence that Ted and Cody seemed threatening or dominating- ever... They are nothing but Orton's lackeys, pretty much... But if WWE planned on making indeed a weak stable which gets heat, one way or other, by doing those dirty works for the leader- Randy Orton, how could that be a bad job on the part of WWE?



WQ2: Adding now another wrestler seems too late.. Instead they could make Priceless capture the Tag Team gold, and book Orton a little stronger, eventually capturing the WWE Title would suffice..



WQ3: Obviously shorter, I would guess.. Shorter means WWE should get DiBiase really over quicker to make a successful face turn...(If he is gonna have one)



WQ4: I don't think so.. I mean, with Raw having many Talents- and WWE trying to push most Talents- as everyone is good enough, it is really not possible to dominate like Evolution did at those times.. Times have changed pretty much now..



So, getting the Unified Tag Titles and having matches on 2 shows a week, and defending them well would be good to see... They would be capturing it soon as they earned a shot at the Titles by defeating The Colons on Raw this week...



WQ5: Well may be.. The Hart Dynasty started/formed some weeks back, and are over with IWC.. But still they are on ECW, not a much watched show, and they haven't done anything great to the level of Legacy.. Sure they are threatening on the ECW-level.. :)





And final thoughts, which would make Legacy look better:

Booking *Orton* stronger.

Making *Priceless* Tag Team Champs.

If possible, involving *DiBiase* in some rivalry.

Making *Ted and Cody* compete every week, against some Tag Team or in Singles Matches.

Legacy needs to disband, you telling me if you were Randy Orton you would hope that Superstars as new and untrained as Ted DiBiase and Cody Rhodes could possibly have your back is a slap in the face of wrestling fans everywhere.



Case in point: Last Monday on Raw, simple task, stop Triple H from coming to the ring. Wham Rhodes takes an easy sledgehammer shot, seconds later DiBiase tastes the same hammer.



Time and time again, Orton gets knocked around because Legacy dropped the ball and offers little or no protection.



Not saying Orton doesn't have it coming, but put a couple guys next to you that can carry their own weight out there.

It's how Ted and Cody are represented

They're shown as weak and can't fight.

And Randy's presentation as a coward makes Legacy weak.

He could be dangerous but he couldn't fight his own battles without his lackeys.

And the same with Ted and Cody if they prove that they have their own unique qualities that seperates them it would make Legacy more threatening.

But then WWE shows them that they're dangerous as a group but worthless if divided.



In Evolution Batista could fight his own matches Randy could fight and HHH could definitely win his battles.

That's not the case with Legacy everytime they win it's either one of the members cheated.

So an added member wouldn't matter if Legacy is shown to be deadly even if divided they would work.



WQ:Yeah for showing that each members are useless with their own needing the others they're shown as cowards.



WQ2:Like I said a member wouldn't work unless Legacy is shown that each members are deadly in their own right.



WQ3:Definitely shorter than Evolution because Evolution just has that one thing Legacy doesn't have-HHH.

If Vince or Stephanie wants to axe Legacy it would be gone in a heartbeat.



WQ4:Ted and Cody never shown me anything except helping Randyt win his matches or beat up their foes.

If they would be like I said the millionth time be shown as dangerous without Randy then they could be dominating.



WQ5:Absolutely The Hart Dynasty shows more promise and each members could fight they're own battles without each other's help.

Basically, the WWE needs to allow Ted DiBiase and Cody Rhodes to develop their own personality. We have no idea what kind of characters Rhodes and DiBiase are, so the WWE needs to give them some mic time, or put them in an angle that has nothing to do with Randy Orton. If they can do that, while DiBiase and Rhodes are allowed to develop their own personalities, then Legacy will start looking like a real stable.

Yes it does.....Legacy needs someone it can be Ted or Cody to repeat a catch phrase a million times until it is over. Cody could do it but when the name Rhodes is mentioned people think of Dusty's awesome southern accent jibber jabber or Goldust. Now if Ted started to refer to himself in the 3rd person every time he is on tv be it a promo, interview, or vignette....he has to say either his last name or only refer to himself as "Priceless".....hell just ripoff one of those Mastercard commercials.



It isn't that hard to give all three of them the belts....Randy gets the World Title and Ted & Cody get the tag belts OR Ted can be US champion and Cody can be IC champion. Yup I demand that they carry all the belts just for the hell of it. Its not like Kofi or Rey are doing anything with the belts.....you know HHH wants to run this feud forever the only question is who will be his back up.....shall it be HHH, HBK, Batista as the nu nu nu nu nu improved DX or what...



And yes Hart Dynasty > Legacy for the simple fact that their push is based on in-ring talent not coward heel honky tonk man ideology.

I think they did a terrible job with creating legacy, they should have kept Sim Snuka and Manu.



Who could you add that would fit the "second generation" superstar role? Manu and Umaga were released and Sim Snuka has disaapeared.



Legacy won't last to the next WM



No they won't dominate like Evolution did
