Here's an interesting thought experiment what was the point in making ricochet lose to a guy with no offense, ricochet looks like poo poo, we have no idea if kross is good at wrestling. Do we even want to see more of either of them?

It's cool because if they really hated nxt they could just let roman reigns be on all 7-12 hours of programming. But in reality they just want to have something to fill the space between commercials that doesn't get anyone over or ruin the surprise of a PPV match.

Vince's ideal wrestling promotion would just be a black screen that for some reason people would tolerate putting on every monday night which frequently and violently bursts to life flush with commercials at regular intervals.

And the worst part of it is is that when TNA was in terrible mask guy hell they had the decency to let abyss bump to a (single strand of) barbed wire christmas tree while mike tenay screamed bloody murder

STOP DOING HEROIN
Ricochet is a small flippy dude who's bad at promos and has fully bought into the childhood myth of WWE being his dream job. They've been waiting to poo poo on this guy long before he ever signed, knowing fully well that he'd smile and ask for more. He's the perfect worker bee for them.

Well yeah I get that but how does this give Kross any kind of rub. I mean I guess in the most bland almost unnoticeable way we're supposed to get the kind of "bully smashing nerds" catharsis of a Braun Strowman hitting jobbers spot. Except Kross didn't even smash him that good.

That Kross gear and entrance are so dire. I love that he just stands there in the dark and the big reveal when the lights come up is that he uncrosses his arms.

Also, you know your look is bad when multiple people along the entrance ramp are laughing at you.

It really rules how Vince took one look at Karrion Kross and went "yeah no, gently caress this dude". Like I said, I'm looking forward to his shoot interview when he's fired in a year or something

Remember the stories of how he came in for a try out one time and WWE didn't sign him because they were annoyed that people at the PC were marking out that ricochet was there?

The fans, whether at NXT (chanting "Hardy" at him on his way out the door) or the main roster (openly laughing at his look on-camera mid-entrance), doing the same really makes it :kiss:

One time a guy stole some downhill skis out of my jeep and I was so mad I punched a mailbox. I'm against crime, and I'm not ashamed to admit it.
Part of me feels sorry for Kross since he’s probably the last guy they signed just to keep him from going anywhere else. But on the other hand he knew exactly what he was getting into.

And I think my head is burning,

To be done with all this measuring of proof.

And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

remember when RoH had a show with NJPW at MSG in front of 16000 people and their chosen winner was Matt Taven

I mean, in hindsight it was better Taven than Lethal (boring) or Scurll (paedophile)

thank you bad decision Becky because this one decision is going to do so much to make Britt Baker's alignment confusion look so much better by comparison

I like AEW but I swear they're winning by being consistent and WWE just constantly trying to kill itself. Like people want to think "maybe it'll get good again" it's not even being stable, nor has been stable for years now, its consistently bad and AEW might overtake it just by them meeting in the middle rather than exponential growth

One thing I've seen a lot of on social media during the whole Karrion/Hardy debacle is how people are incredulous that he's not getting pushed to the moon because he's got a "great look", so, lmao @ those people right now.

But even before that, and without the helmet and straps, he still just looks like some dude who should be wearing Oakleys and a camo hat.
