Should The Hurt Business have stayed together longer?

Absolutely, WWE could have gotten a lot more storylines and matches with these Men as a Faction. They were one of the reasons a lot of Wrestling Fans paid attention to Monday Night Raw and at this point, they were the only actual Faction on Raw. Retribution was never properly built up and presented and WWE has been very cavalier in creating and elevating Tag Teams on both The Women's Side and The Men's Side. I think Vince didn't like the fact that Fans were Cheering The Hurt Business as Baby Faces when WWE was presenting them as Heels.

Yes they should, but clearly Vince desperately wants to turn Bob babyface. And so will gladly destroy Bob's support system to get there.

Generally I'm not a fan of stables but that one worked.  MVP made it go. 

Outside of standing alongside Lashley and MVP what did Shelton Benjamin and Cedric Alexander do?  Nothing.  I don't get why people are acting like The Hurt Business benefited anyone or was anything special.  WWE was already pushing Lashley before the group became a thing and nothing changed.
