It's more likely the WWE is such a mess internally that Dave's source genuinely was told that.

Given WWE's track record on poo poo like Eddie Guerrero and Reid Flair, maybe it was a standard "this is getting blowback so let's claim it was the wrestler's idea!" WWE thing?

I theorised this eldewhere when Shane Thorne, Crocodile Dundee, happened and then suddenly Thorne said it was all his idea. I got attacked for being a conspiracy theorist and that wrestlers having input is normal. They didn't like my reply of why is it only these bad gimmicks getting poo poo on that wrestlers are claiming is their idea.

Looks like somebody customized a wrestler from a WWE 2K game to make them look ridiculous.

Even when they had TMDK on their roster, they had them do poo poo like wear Australian football guernseys. Just go whole hog and have his entrance theme be Slim Dusty’s rendition of Waltzing Matilda.

Vince: So I'm thinking we need to do something new and hip, like that hit movie everybody loves, Crocodiles Dundee Pritchard: Yes sir it is the movie all the kids love. Vince: So obviously we need to do all the things associated with Australia. The hats, the boots, the 1980s computer graphic virtual corridor spreading into infinity, and he says g'day mate a lot. Pritchard: There isn't a thing you just said that doesn't make perfect and 100% reasonable sense.

I Before E posted:Is this really worse than being in Retribution Retribution was a terrible idea on every level, but i can imagine a young talent raised on the NWO thinking it could be an awesome gig (ignoring that WWE has ruined every invasion angle). Crocodile Dundork is dead on arrival no matter how you try to justify it.

I guaranteed Nikki's pitch was "I could be an inspirational super hero character for the kids!" and not "I want to be a dumb weak idiot loser who sucks and everyone hates."

Like, literally knowing that Waltzing Matilda is almost the Aussie national anthem is more in-depth knowledge than I'd expect from Vince.

He knows Tie Me Kangaroo Down, as seen in the Outback Jack vignettes. Complete with the word for Aboriginal Australians that I’m unsure about using!

Bryan: This Naomi storyline makes no sense. She wants a match, Sonya won't give her one, she wants to fight Sonya, Sonya says she's retired, then suddenly they're having a match!?! Dave: It doesn't matter. WWE doesn't do storylines, it's pointless to worry about it, it's irrelevant. Bryan: So anyway The Lucha Bros are facing two masked wrestlers who are close friends of Andra- Dave: They're not close friends! Bryan: ....who are they? Dave: I don't know. Bryan: ...well... well then how do you know they're not close friends? Dave: Well I don't, but I don't think they're close friends, maybe he knows them a little but they're not close friends! Bryan: Well maybe that's the storyline... Dave: I don't think that storyline makes sense!
