Maybe it's more that the stable's never felt that coherent then, more than the thought of Callis having a stable at all.

Take####a
Ospreay
Aussie Open
Hobbs

Just feels like a weird faction to me. Hobbs, Ospreay, Take####a all fill the same role to me. Who is the leader of the group? Who is the guy you're trying to build to a main eventer? I don't think it's done much for Hobbs or Ospreay and Aussie Open, but Callis was great for Take####a for sure, until it just kind of fell off.

I don't really thinking I was critizing Callis, just think he is better suited as the main guy for a single wrestler.

Actually similar to Heyman. Bloodline is a bit different due to Roman's part time status and Bloodline/Heyman kept his stories moving on TV. And Reigns was always the clear leader of the faction. But Heyman is really better as a single manager (Punk, Brock, Roman), I see Callis as a similar way. Even with the bloodline I still think Heyman was Roman's manager, he rarely came out for an USO's or Solo match if Roman wasn't involved.

I like Callis when it was just him and Omega as the belt collectors...I thought Anderson/Gallows and others made that story worse too.

Same thing now. I'd rather they just focus on Callis making Take####a into a killer and focus on him winning titles. But Trackercowe nailed it. It feels like it's less focused and just kind of drifting aimlessly now. Where just Callis+Take####a felt like they were building a new superstar.
