2262002, Nah. They are far too unlikable.

There's nothing about him to get behind. These guys are bland and there's no story to their booking that would make anyone care.

Dreamer losing to Raven time and again worked because due to a personal and relatable angle dating back to their childhood and the addition of Beulah put it over the top.

Whipwreck gave you his all in the ring and could actually put on a show bumping like crazy.

Duggan had a past as a lovable character in the WWE, along with a classic patriot gimmick that’s a cheap but –oh-so-effective over anytime it’s used, especially to the core WCW fan base.
A guy like, say, the Lightning Kid got over by beating a hated villain who badly overpowered and outmatched him.
There was an underdog story being told in those programs that everyone could relate to.

3MB are obnoxious assholes with a leader who takes his promo cues from the worst, most clichéd elements of USWA Wrasslin’ style mic work, while Drew has ZERO personality.

So, there’s no story being told other than they keep losing, they aren’t being bullied by a persistent and sadistic antagonist, they have no charisma and weak mic skills, and none of them are particularly exciting to watch wrestle.

Guys like Jeff Hardy or John Morrison got over in a big way by being entertaining as hell in the ring despite being limited in the promo department.

Without a story, a personality, or an in ring style to get behind, how and why would they develop a following simply by losing? I’m not saying it can’t or won’t happen, but I personally don’t see it.
