King Pitcos Posted December 30, 2016 Posted December 30, 2016 What did happen with Solomon Crowe? He was proper Emperor's New Clothes. He was shit at every aspect, but at the same time most of his indie peers were coming in and killing it. Could he just not translate his independent stuff over the way other guys have managed?
Paid Members gadge Posted December 31, 2016 Paid Members Posted December 31, 2016 Not only was he always shit, he's really short even by wrestling 2016 standards. Without the indie wrestling escape of being stiff, he was horribly exposed and I wasn't surprised at all when he was released
WyattSheepMask Posted December 31, 2016 Posted December 31, 2016 I'd only ever heard his name, and was intrigued by whatever his hacker gimmick was when it was being talked about prior to his debut. Turns out all that was was his from video had a bit of static on it and he was just another guy
Guest Posted December 31, 2016 Posted December 31, 2016 He was meant to be a computer hacker? I assumed he was supposed to be a troll doll
Paid Members PunkStep Posted December 31, 2016 Paid Members Posted December 31, 2016 He looked like a cross between Marc Wootten and the lead singer from The Rasmus.
Members SuperBacon Posted December 31, 2016 Members Posted December 31, 2016 He looked like a cross between Marc Wootten and the lead singer from The Rasmus. Funny considering his character was often In The Shadows...I'm here all week lads...
WyattSheepMask Posted December 31, 2016 Posted December 31, 2016 He was meant to be a computer hacker? I assumed he was supposed to be a troll doll Apparently so, but they did a pisspoor attempt at it that it died almost immediately. The Hacker gimmick debut on an NXT Live Show-https://youtu.be/dN86lsAvH0U NXT TV debut- and that was about it.
wordsfromlee Posted December 31, 2016 Posted December 31, 2016 Didn't Paige have a hacker gimmick as well when she first started in FCW?
Paid Members gmoney Posted January 1, 2017 Paid Members Posted January 1, 2017 How the fuck does a hacker gimmick work? Do they bring a laptop to the ring and boot up Linux?
WyattSheepMask Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 Fuck knows. I seem to remember they had a guy doing something in either OVW or FCW where he'd essentially be scouting opponant's using his laptop. And I'm sure Terri Runnels had some early 90s computer gimmick when she was Ms Yorke in WCW
King Pitcos Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 From what I remember of Solomon Crowe's one, being a hacker is basically the same powers as the Undertaker and Bray Wyatt. You just fuck about with the lights and screen when someone's wrestling or talking. But instead of spooky music, it's the dial-up noise.
Love-Wilcox Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 Nia Jax is still a bit shit but despite that I thoroughly enjoyed that women's match from Osaka. Either Asuka did an amzing carry job or Nia is getting better ? Apart from when she's just standing there, waiting for her opponent to lead her into the next spot because even though she has loads of upsides she doesn't have much of clue how to actually "work". But yeah, one of my favourite women's bouts this year probably.
The King Of Swing Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 Asuka could probably have a decent match with a sweeping brush.
