Didn't he have a huge furry waistcoat with a collar like Kraven the Hunter? I'd love that big brute emerging from the shadows and torturing faces in coffins filled with rats.

Paid Members Carbomb Posted December 10, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted December 10, 2019 I'd like to see the guy behind Leo Kruger/Adam Rose coming to AEW and doing the psycho Afrikaner/Boer bushman gimmick again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As many others have mentioned, AEW is in desperate need of hosses, and Kruger looks like a beast these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members BomberPat Posted December 10, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted December 10, 2019 Could do without them booking unrepentant wife-beaters, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember the details but I'm pretty sure Adam Rose got nicked for beating his wife. So fuck him. Harper on the other hand I can't wait to see. That match he had with Orton was tremendous.

Grecian Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 He got arrested for domestic battery during a heated argument with his wife, all charges were dropped a couple of months later. From what I remember, his wife refused to cooperate with the investigation so no evidence could be presented. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted December 10, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted December 10, 2019 They already employ several problematic twats so they might as well sign Rose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An old school Afrikaner/Boer gimmick would involve a lot of racism. Even if he wouldn't say overtly racist things, he'd be calling a giant shitstorm upon himself. The gimmick would be based on a racist man who does racist things.  Edit: he wasn't a Boer in NXT right? Wasn't he a big game or bounty hunter? Edited December 10, 2019 by Whistling Skull Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't he a big game or bounty hunter? Oh, no - I wasn't advocating an old-style Boer/AWB gimmick, no fucking way. (Oddly, when looking up his Wikipedia, it seems he chose the name Leo Kruger because he's descended from the hugely problematic and racist leader of the first Boer Republic of South Africa, Paul Kruger, after whom Kruger National Park and the Krugerrand is also named.) When I saw him in NXT, I just had him down as a psycho bushman. Although, in the wake of Bob Mortimer's Athletico Mince, I realise I probably couldn't take him seriously now. I'd just imagine him going "A'M A FAHCKING RAIPIST" and trying to shove his gun up people's bums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members BomberPat Posted December 10, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted December 10, 2019 I always thought the best thing Leo Kruger ever did was a promo saying he was going to win the "ROY-ELL RIMBLE", but if he comes out on Dynamite telling Cody Rhodes "NOW TAKE OFF YOUR STRIDES", I'll take it all back.
