Presumably one that’s missing Fury Road? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollthedice Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Doing Kross zero favours with that gear. What a nob he looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait until they rename AJ Styles' submission hold the Toecutter, or change Joe's moniker from Samoa to Immortan. Although that one might work better with Orton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Supremo Posted August 24, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted August 24, 2021 Weekly reminder that this is Karrion Kross. It doesn’t matter how much they botch him on the main roster. He’s never amounting to anything anyway. He’s rubbish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must admit I hadn't seen much of him before his NXT run, though there seemed to be a fair amount of hype surrounding him and who he was going to sign with etc - so I always assumed he was pretty good. The more I see of him the more I'm not sure if NXT/WWE have completely fucked him up or if he managed to pull the wool over everyone's eyes for a while before he signed.

TildeGuy~! Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Kross has always been nothing without Scarlett, she’s the whole act. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tragic. Absolutely fucking ridiculous indictment of how often the company misses the point and concentrates on all the wrong minutiae when paying attention to detail for production of their show. Why this would be a thing you do in front of an audience? I know the industry is built on smoke and mirrors but Christ, there should be a line somewhere. Imagine WCW asking Mean Gene to crouch down a bit in the ring so people couldn’t tell how short Ric Flair was, and it being caught on camera? We’d still be bringing it up today. What a farce this lot have become. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Supremo Posted August 24, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted August 24, 2021 (edited) Almost as much as people still trying to act like NXT is as good now as it’s ever been, the way people are reacting to Kross on the main roster perfectly illustrates how much tribalism has risen amongst pro-wrestling fans in the last year or so. Just because he’s coming from NXT, and was NXT Champion. That’s enough for him to be perceived as one of, “our guys,” with everyone acting like he’s some super worker or can’t miss prospect that’s being buried by the big baddie Vince. Fuck off. He’s a completely average worker and a shit promo, with no aura or authenticity no matter how much he GROWLS, GRITS HIS TEETH and WIDENS HIS EYES.

They should say Smash was his dad but Kross’s behaviour left them estranged. So whenever Smash is asked about him he can shake his head and say “Karrion, my wayward son” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members LaGoosh Posted August 24, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted August 24, 2021 The best/worst thing about WWE is that with Karrion Kross's new look it could be any of the following: - They think it looks good which is hilariously tragic and pathetic. - They think it's funny and will eventually get Kross over as a babyface comedy character except it definitely won't. - They are doing something intentionally bad just to spite the perfomer or someone backstage. What a company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not on here. I just meant the overall opinion online. It’s not been on here partly because I think everyone’s got their head screwed on and partly because barely anyone even discusses Raw anymore. Apologies if I’m being a bit of a Pitcos arguing with thin air against an opinion that no-one on here has expressed, I just find it fascinating that every Tuesday morning the headline is always, “can you believe what they did with Kross,” and without fail my response is always, “yes, I can believe it. He’s crap.” Frankly, I wish people would talk about what’s truly the most interesting thing about Raw, and that’s the selling of Omos. Look, I get it, when you’re super lanky they’ll give you every chance in the world to learn and develop. And I understand that he’s green as grass. But everything he does feels like an alien who’s badly trying to convince everyone he’s a human. It’s like he’s never existed in the real world, was created in a lab and just had to guess how people react to things like being hit with a scooter!  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
