I didn't even think about this when I watched this segment 😂😂

samistry:
Didn't catch this week's show. What brought her to NXT?

pu7pl3:
Theory wasn't fired. Why would you even wish for someone to get fired bro?

ValeeLove:
did I read the news wrong?
I find it disingenuous and passively insulting that a woman who shouldn't even be in the business is claiming we won simply because she didn't win the title. That comment is infuriating and insulting. She shouldn't even be here, and yet look at what she's accomplished along the way; and then just one loss and she acts defeated. No, she won, and WWE should be ashamed of themselves for making it happen.

She's saying that people like you who've been talking shit about her non-stop won. Funny how you're feeling insulted when you've been saying worse constantly.

CoolUsername:
Did WWE just retcon Cena's heel turn and R Truth's gimmick change?

samistry:
I saw the trash bro.

That's that 2017 shit that made people stop watching

pu7pl3:
I didn't stop then
I've definitely stopped now.

NXT only for my weekly dose of wrestling.

A lot of Hunter x Hunter's booking decisions since Cody finished his story have been questionable.
Normally, I like to let him cook because the Bloodline storyline was gold. But we are like a year and a half removed from that and the shows have largely stagnated.
There are still bright spots here and there but the main storylines just aren't hitting like before.

I'm surprised. People still think it's a work.
Kross also needs to drop the gimmicks. This isn't 1990.

samistry:
They're really pushing this deadass group

samistry:
Kross was called smoke and mirrors.
A special entrance with a valet, whose excitement went down as soon as the ring bell rung.

Man later adopted the Devil on the shoulder thing which endeared fans to him.
Heels like Triple H, Jake the snake, MJF employ pyschology against their opponents.
Issue was that such promos were relegated to backstage /ad breaks only.He became a background character on the show.

Also, What good is pyschological warfare when you lose all the time?
Gimmick or no gimmick a guy with such physique /MMA background losing frequently ruins his credibility.
It's the same issue with guys like Wardlow, Archer and Brian Cage.

I've also seen folks criticise his ring work. They even spawned a rumor Kross doesn't take back bumps. Do they want everyone doing suicide dives and springboard moves?

ValeeLove:
I've seen some backstage segments as well as some posts online of him doing his gimmick. It's just a bit flat (as all gimmicks). But, when he made some noise in that studio and spoke authentically, everyone rallied around him. Begs the question, why don't you keep being that authentic character rather than acting these mastermind-manipulator gimmicks that goes no where; that's just my question.

Kross needs to learn how to wrestle matches that aren't boring. He's slow, lacks intensity, and lacks power in the ring.

On the mic, he can gather momentum but once he gets in the ring, everyone checks out. He has somehow managed to work snoozefests with the likes of Drew McIntyre, Rey Mysterio, AJ Styles, and Sami Zayn.

If Austin Theory had half the charisma that Kross has, he would've been pushed to the moon.

samistry:
I dunno his ring work seems fine to me🤷

CoolUsername:
Too sluggish, no flashy moves but just average fundamentals.

He's a manager with a manager.
