Updated my Stables. The Rated R Era is complete & I'm really happy how it turned out. Might not have the big names, but that was kind of the idea anyway.
Interesting idea to use your 2 big names as the managers instead of actual talent. Not sure if that will help or hurt when it comes to voting. Also, I can't tell which one of your stables is a heel or face yet which is another interesting factor.
I will say I love the names in the Rated R Era, but I'm not sold on Reigns as a main eventer at all. He's got a look, but the talent isn't there either in the ring or on the mic yet. Just based on what I've seen so far, I'd switch Langston and Reigns at this point. And I'm not a big Grey fan at all. Neville is awesome and there are a ton of better options to team him with even if it's not an actual tag team that currently exists.
I think I have more problems with your Blanchard stable because of the non-use of Tully as a wrestler. On the other side, I can talk myself into a few options as main eventers...can't do it with the Dynasty. Martel's a solid hand, but not good enough to me to carry. I've always felt Owen was really overrated and if he didn't die tragically, no one cares about his career. Cody's got potential to grow into it, but not there yet. So to me it's a very midcard stable without that big name. Put Tully there, draft an actual manager and I grow to love this stable.

Knew that was a risk using Edge & Tully as the Mouthpieces rather than wrestlers. Edge's group is about the future, and I think he makes a great leader. Tully was as good of a talker as Flair was in the horseman days, he just didn't get to do as much of it once he joined the Andersons. his work pre-horseman is great. And though he was a traditional heel, he could talk well enough to make himself a fan fav, kind of like Flair did as the years went by.
Rated R Are definitely the Heels here. I understand the concerns with Reigns, but the premise was these guys are the future, so not being a ME guy now doesn't bother me.
I disagree with Martel, but he's long been one of my favorites, so I'm biased. I'm not an over the top Owen guy, but he was a solid mid guy, and that's where I have him slotted.
And, Managers often mixed it up with the others, especially in a War Games scenario, so having Edge and Tully there is a bonus
