Only the longest of my zero readers know that DJ Tanner Wrestling-ing<\/a> is my personal evolution to jumping the shark, and in the case of this particular topic it\u2019s relevant since this is yet another post about, professional wrestling.<\/span><\/p>\n Anyway, over the weekend the WWE did their best to surprise the Universe by introducing Tanga Loa into the company, when he interfered during the Bloodline vs. Kevin Owens and Randy Orton tag match.\u00a0 A few weeks ago, they had brought in Tama Tonga to join forces with Solo Sikoa, whom the storyline has as being the guy now assuming control over the Bloodline, with the long-deserved hiatus of Roman Reigns after Wrestlemania.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n And with that, both members of the Guerillas of Destiny (GoD) have made their way to the WWE after a long and fruitful career overseas in NJPW.\u00a0 Both have aligned with Solo, and are representing the new age of the Bloodline.\u00a0 I doubt that they\u2019ll still be called GoD once the dust settles from their arrival, but to those that are familiar with them, they\u2019ll always be GoD.<\/span><\/p>\n Personally, I\u2019m high on GoD, and loved their work in Japan.\u00a0 It was the highlight of the evening when NJPW had a tour stop in Atlanta, where the main event was the Guerillas winning the IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team championships, and above all else, I love that they\u2019re the son and the adopted son of the baddest man on the planet, Haku.\u00a0 That alone gives them a 10 in toughness, because I can\u2019t imagine anyone raised by Haku would be anything short of being the polar opposite of a pussy.<\/span><\/p>\n I am excited for their arrival in the E and the sheer potential they bring by both being in the company, but at the same time, I still can\u2019t help but have this feeling that they\u2019ve caused the whole trajectory of the Bloodline to DJ Tanner Wrestle, mainly because of the simple fact that they\u2019re not actual bloodline to the Anoa\u2019i family.<\/span><\/p>\n In fact, they\u2019re not even Samoan, but Tongan.\u00a0 I know that white people can\u2019t tell Asians and island boys apart, and there are a lot of similarities between the cultures, but the fact of the matter is that Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa aren\u2019t related to the Anoa\u2019i family nor are they Samoan, so having them be a part of the Bloodline seems kind of shark-jumpy in my opinion.<\/span><\/p>\n I know that Haku is super tight with many Anoa\u2019i members, and as Rikishi once said, us island boys have to stick together<\/em>, but it does feel like a little bit of a cop out to just slap GoD into the Bloodline and hope that nobody questions the genealogy here just because they\u2019re all from island origins.<\/span><\/p>\n Sure, they did it already with Sami Zayn being the Honorary Uce, but the difference here is that they weren\u2019t trying to hide the fact that he wasn\u2019t Samoan and related to an Anoa\u2019i, and I\u2019m not saying that they might not do the same with GoD, but so far, they also haven\u2019t made any attempt to dispel it either.\u00a0 I have this suspicion that unless they get some heat from any Polynesian groups, who demand specificity, the WWE is just going to hope that fans at home assume that GoD are Anoa\u2019i and don\u2019t question it.<\/span><\/p>\n Don\u2019t get me wrong, I\u2019m stoked that GoD are now a part of the E.\u00a0 They will inject a viable tag team into the division of whichever show they land on, and I\u2019m sure fans are already salivating at the idea of an inevitable GoD vs. the Usos matchup, because a Bloodline civil war does seem like it\u2019s the obvious end game coming once Roman Reigns\u2019 vacation is up.<\/span><\/p>\n It\u2019s just details matter to me, and two guys whom aren\u2019t even blood-related themselves, joining up with a faction called the Bloodline to which they\u2019re not related to, seems a little DJ Tanner Wrestling-ey in my opinion.\u00a0 I get why they did it, and honestly from their perspective, as far as being fast-tracked to the main event and making money, they\u2019re probably not sweating it, but it doesn\u2019t change the fact that the execution of it, holistically as a whole, does seem forced and just a little bit DJ Tanner Wrestling-ey.\u00a0 Creative might surprise me and spin a magnificent story, as they did over the last two years of Roman\u2019s reign, but seeing as how they blew the wad at Mania, I\u2019m not optimistic that this long-term story will be worth the wait if all the moving parts happen in the manner that I think they will.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Only the longest of my zero readers know that DJ Tanner Wrestling-ing is my personal evolution to jumping the shark, and in the case of this particular topic it\u2019s relevant since this is yet another post about, professional wrestling.
