nah, they were cool because they were cool initially, a stable of only gaijins that ran roughshod over New Japan had never happened before and they were fun, did great promos, had a catchphrase, the gun to the head gimmick after beatdowns, Devitt was on fire as a heel etc. The original incarnation (Devitt, Fale, Anderson and Tonga) were great and it was shit hot for a few months. Then (like every great faction ever) it passed it's sell-by-date and was watered down with a bunch of meaningless members (and they lost the leader/top guy to WWE. Like, imagine HHH going to WCW in mid-1998) The only reason they probably still exist is the amount of merch they move. But now they're also basically a self-aware parody of the "big American stables", the thing Japanese fans associate with American wrestling. It's not so much "stealing" and more "taking the piss".
