Brawling Brutes

[4.0] "Credit to Sheamus for still being a good worker at this point in WWE. This faction was nothing more to me than the "Pete dunne humiliation ritual". Ridge Holland had consistently been the worst in ring wrestler on the main roster for years at this point, and they obviously saw a lot in him after the incident(s). But worst of all, seeing one of the most promising young wrestlers in the business be shriveled down into "ridge holland's wacko lunatic bar buddy" and it was some of the hardest television to watch."

[7.0] "Clan très intéressant ! Sheamus est excellent dans ce rôle de leader J'aurais plus mis quelqu'un comme Tyler Bate à la place de Ridge Holland, et laissé son nom à Pete Dunne mais ca fonctionnait bien quand meme."

[5.0] "Sheamus was pretty cool during this time, but the other two didn't work that well. That said, as a trio, they looked the part. I wonder if this group would have had more legs if it wasn't for Pete Dune's terrible name swap. That eventually became a distraction & the entire group stalled because of it."

[8.0] "I like, The Brawling Brutes were always reliable in the Division of Tag Team, although in the ring they were not very good, Sheamus is very good as always, Butch was a less efficient version of Pete Dunne, and I am not going to talk about Holland because I don't want me to give me depression. After Sheamus's departure only ruined everything, they simply were not the same."

[8.0] "This clan had a lot going for it. Sheamus knows how to form coherent and powerful teams, too bad the writing didn't follow. The Irish-style alliance was great, the three of them brought something to the table and managed to turn a crazy idea and poorly-written characters into an impactful and entertaining team, both in and out of the ring."

[5.0] "I don't dislike them, I even found them pretty charismatic during Sheamus' feud with Gunther heading into Clash at the Castle. But they have gone flat af since then. There is simply nothing interesting happening with them, they are just guys who team up together without any story developing among them (unlike The Bloodline, the Judgment Day, Imperium, LWO, etc). Sheamus is already a veteran and Butch may be an interesting player in the roster if he evolves his character once this stable is done, but I don't see how can you decently book Ridge Holland in the future. It's a shame, because they can do better, but they don't feel like a threat to anyone right now."

[8.0] "Every night is fight night if the Brutes are in town, this group came off as kinda goofy at first but they have seriously grown on me as time went on and have managed to as of this entry, organically get over as faces. Pete Dunn has managed to take the gimmick of Butch which plenty of people hated at first and made it work like gangbusters while Ridge seems to be getting better every week, Sheamus own résumé speaks for itself and the man has been on the run of a lifetime since 2020. Love this group, and looking forward to seeing more of them."

[8.0] "Consistently providing the best matches on SmackDown for quite a while now. Sheamus is a future Hall Of Famer at this point and one of the most valued performers in the company. Ridge Holland, besides the horrible Big E situation, consistently holds his own and stands out as a very unique wrestler. Beyond the silly name, "Butch" has been used on the main roster far better than I ever could have imagined. This is a very fun group."

[9.0] "HHH did a very good job with them. They are a very useful stable with three talents. BANGER AFTER BANGER AFTER BANGER."

[8.0] "I foolishly was very sceptical of this Stable when it first started, boy was I proved wrong TBBs have produced Banger after Banger and helped catapult Sheamus to being one of WWEs top stars again, their feuding with IMPERIUM has been very compelling and it seems they may only get better, watch this space for and edit up too 9.0 or 10.0 in a few months time."

[8.0] "Thanks to Brawling Brutes, Sheamus is experiencing a second youth. Initially I was very skeptical of them but now they are doing a really good show. Their fights against the Imperium are amazing and will go down in history, as did The New Day's fights against The Usos. I wish Brawling Brutes will win tag team titles soon."

[10.0] "BANGER after BANGER after BANGER after BANGER after BANGER after BANGER after BANGER after BANGER after BANGER after BANGER after BANGER after BANGER after BANGER after BANGER after BANGER after BANGER after BANGER after BANGER after BANGER after BANGER after BANGER after BANGER after BANGER after BANGER after BANGER after BANGER after BANGER after BANGER after BANGER after BANGER after BANGER"

[10.0] "At first I was like, this is a good faction with a potential if booked well, every next month, they were growing on me more and more, but still it wasn't that something, something was lacking, BUT DAMN WHEN THE HHH TOOK THE CHARGE, I FUCKING LOVE THIS FACTION, dunne is so cool, Sheamus is brilliant... BANGA Sheamus and Holland is pretty well and improving himself on main roster, I love them and I give them 10, I see them very entertaining and cool in ring, I love the FIGHT NIGHT! And I see a very huge potential in them"

[7.0] "Sheamus mentoring two UK superstars in a stable like this is a great idea for WWE. Ridge may have been called up a bit too early and the Butch character is not Pete Dunne's best but all three have great chemistry and make the stable work"

[10.0] "This faction holds two of my favourites and another really talented wrestler. Sheamus and Ridge Holland being my favourites and then Butch (Pete Dunne). This faction is great, they all bring something to the table which creates entertainment. Sheamus being the rough badass leader, Ridge Holland being the second hand brute and Butch being the aggressive, hostile always wants a scrap therefore creating three highly entertaining personas in this faction. I hope to see them win tag team gold because these guys defiantly have the star power to do so. I was expecting the faction to be called something like Fight Night but nevertheless the name was never the issue with this brilliantly paired team. I just hope that Vinnie Mac books these guys to the moon especially considering they get the attention of the audience and the crowd usually always interact with them."

[7.0] "It's still early days but this faction has potential, given their brawler fighting style, sheamus is definitely a good leader for this faction, butch is decent too although I'll never be a fan of the name and ridge holland is ok although, my opinion of him isn't exactly high due to the big e incident. Ultimately, though time will tell whether or not these guys will make an impact or just be another faction that quietly fades away."
