I actually watched the main event of NXT tonight and it was my first time seeing Karrion Kross wrestle.

My only thoughts is that he is 100% a HHH cosplayer. Everything about him says “I remind HHH of HHH.”

Also, his Molon Labe tattoo is pretty loving hilarious and pathetic at the same time.

Pretty solid main event though, Finn carrying a lot of it. So many hope spots!

I'm guessing this is to get Balor back to Raw since their roster seems pretty thin right now.

Kross doesn't even have a move in his arsenal that looks cool like the Deep Six. I guess maybe the Saito but thats about it.

I wonder how much of my problem with Karrion Kross would be eliminated if he had an upper lip. It's definitely not all of it but I have a hunch it would have a bigger-than-expected impact

Funny part is even that isn't as cool as it could be considering Sarray does a much more impactful/cool looking one. I honestly don't think there is a single redeeming factor for Kross, but by god lets give him an undefeated streak despite the fact that not even the CWC/Full Sail regulars care about him all that much.

Honestly? This is spot on. Corbin's career has been plodding boredom 98% of the time, but he's been memorable a little, and the Snickers commercial made me laugh. Nothing about Karrion is interesting at all for someone so pushed by NXT. You really get the feeling HHH thinks this guy is the next big thing, or some mandated project.

Has he even taken a loss since joining NXT? He's like HHH+Goldberg then with the personality of a shoe.

Oh those are actual fans in the crowd at CWC? I thought they were just WWE employees or whatever which made the flat reaction to the main event ending confusing.

Nope, at least according to WWE. All of his matches blend together so maybe he's had a no contest or something but he's undefeated otherwise. Like...gently caress. Even Bobby and Roman (although Roman is actually pretty good right now) are way better champions than Kross. And while I won't say Raquel is worse off than Rhea, she's still completely devoid of any real personality traits and her megapush is utterly dire to the division. I guess even though her and Dakota lost clean tonight, they will be getting a tag title match in the near future. This was after Raquel laid out both Ember and Shotzi without too much effort post match, barely selling having taken the Eclipse.

i went to one of these wrestling shows and it was... honestly? frickin boring. i wanna see ricky! i want to see his gold chains and respect for the ftw lifestyle
john cena is beholden to the opinions of the government of china because it profits him personally immensely, its actually a fairly capitalistic reason all things considered.

i cant wait to watch triple h try to outcorporate the corporate personified guy who is taking no time at all to mix poo poo up. he'll fail, badly, because like, cmon, but itll be funny to watch from afar.

Aren't we watching it already? HHH demoted after they starved him for the resources he needed to beat AEW and then several of his NXT idiots ejected from the company gave me a good laugh. Some of the latter rumored to be orders straight from the Khan.

HHH going from the heir apparent to basically the entire wrestling industry to pretty much nothing at all in the span of about two years because of two completely unrelated guys that are both named Khan is so incredible to watch happen.
