Spooky shit doesn’t work. Judgment day stopped being spooky heels and got more popular being comedic frickups. Look at how House of black is failing. Bray stuff won’t work out either.
terminal lack of "it"
scarlet is the same
you look at both them, and objectively they have all the tools
but there's something that just can't really be quantified or put into words that your brain can see is missing
i guess the best way I can explain it is they're like kids trying on and wearing their parents' clothes. not to say that they're immature or children, but they're trying to appeal to sensibilities they don't possess.
I can kinda see what you mean. I think Scarlet looks way better than Sable or Debra but her facial expression lacks their alluring sex appeal. She looks good in that pic, but she also looks fairly bland, as if she were just a cosplayer of a hot a biker b***h. While someone like Deb or Sable, carried themselves like stars. You could believe they were their gimmick.
You can just say he's not an islander, same thing. They'd gigapush him and wouldn't matter how hard he botched, sucked at promos or failed to establish compelling character until he's over like the Bloodline.
his run with Rey was good, instead of a spooky shitter he striked me more like an evil frick, and it worked
but then for some reason he went back to the spoopy shit and even worse they put AOP with him, killing any aura that he had
He looked great here, even his look was great, a proper heel, now he screams and acts like a shitty Snake Roberts knockoff
>his run with Rey was good, instead of a spooky shitter he striked me more like an evil frick, and it worked
exactly this lol. I dont know why they teamed him up with AOP because they were a lot worse.
There's something very "uncanny valley" about his face that breaks immersion whenever he's on camera. On paper he's all there, but the eyes don't have it.
Nah it wont work because even then Triple H was more charismatic. I think the long hair might just not be working for him. He's a good looking guy but that's pretty much it... I rated his TNA work but damn he seems mediocre right now.
>Max Payne gimmick
“The past is like pieces of a broken mirror, you try to pick them up, but you only end up cutting yourself.”
he could literally just start copying Payne monologues and he would get over
It's all in the eyes man. Just look at them, there is a certain lack of something that's hard to put your finger on behind those eyes, that ultimately screams "jobber for life". Not sure if it's charisma, or intensity, or what. He's doing all the right things to come across as charismatic and intense, but you just can't fake the eyes. Bron Breakker has the same issue for me though a lot of people will disagree. Not as bad as Kross though, this guy has the eyes of Damien Sandow.
>It's all in the eyes man. Just look at them, there is a certain lack of something that's hard to put your finger on behind those eyes, that ultimately screams "jobber for life"
Eli Drake has the same stare
all changed when he started with a gimmick of his own mixed with some bits of other gimmicks that reflected his personality
Kross is trying these dimeless gimmicks over and over again and they don't work because he's nothing like that irl, he's a big nice guy larping as a heel who's always angry and screaming, not even spooky shit anymore,; only Ellering is talking about spooky and he doesn't even speak and the AOP doesn't even speak too and Scarlett isn't doing her spooky gimmick anymore
hones they need to end that stable ASAP, all involved are complete trash together

Nail on the head. He's terribly miscast and it's cringe. Try him out as a laid back babyface jock type, and if they doesn't work then just pull the plug.

Knight does have that problem but it isn't as bad as Kross. He does have some natural charisma. I don't think Cody's problem is that though, he's a geek sure but not in the same way, dude has that intensity of total self belief that comes with being a sociopath. He doesn't look uncomfortable in his own skin.

yeah i think this is the root of it, and also explains

he's playing a character, he doesn't believe in his own gimmick
I think to be a truly successful pro-wrestler, you can't see your gimmick as just a character that you play on TV. It needs to be a persona. Not your true self that exists in your daily life, but still very much a facet of your personality. Something that you'd normally never be able to tap into due to societal constraints, but that is able to run wild through the avenue of professional wrestling.
Kross isn't playing any version of himself, it's just a character that he thinks is cool, and thus it comes across as incredibly fake and disingenuous.
Trying a bit too hard here, not gonna lie. But you could make a dimes gimmick out of that if you lean into it. Repackage him as some Andrew Tate type guy.
Outside of someone like Bray, spooky gimmicks don't work much anymore. I'm pretty sure he COULD work if he were actually repackaged but it's probably too late now.
Growing out his hair was a good decision but he needs to not have a spooky gimmick. Honestly he might just be done it was a parting frick you from Vince putting him in that mask
Give him a redpill/manosphere gimmick where he'll come to the ring wearing on of those ear microphones and have him give a ten minute promo about how all the wrestlers are beta males
Look at this picture and you will see why Triple H will eternally push this guy
Kross is literally living the same life as Triple H in his head, he's the BADASS with a SMOKIN HOT BABE WIFE who loves MOTORCYCLES AND LEATHER and MOTORHEAD
I bet Triple H jerked off to this photo unironically
Listen Triple-Haitchuh, I got a hot wife-uh and leather jackets-uh. Even grew a Harley Race moustache-uh. The fact of the matter is you've gotta strap-uh the rocket to me
HHH clearly likes him and wants to get him over so I assume he wouldn't pull the rug out from under him. Have Scarlet be like Steph was to him and do the douchebag alpha bro biker gimmick. That's closer to what he is in real life (watch the Ventura impression video if you haven't, he's a funny guy) and that's way better than "vaguely spooky faction #15" who always cap out as midcard gatekeepers for 6 man ppv schmoz matches

The best wrestling personas are just exaggerated versions of the person playing them. If Kross was more like he is in real life, he'd probably be able to build a much better connection with crowds. Also he needs to not lose every single feud he has.
yeah Kross is a real nice guy, if he started to play the nice dickhead everyone would love it, just like Austin
Hell, I'm pretty sure AOP would like that too their gimmick was tactical behemoths so they could easily become huge biker freaks, make them a rock/biker stable and they'll draw dimes
I think it’s a testament to how much Scarlett loves Kross when you realize if she ditched him, she could have a pretty big solo career even with limited in-ring skills. She sticks right by her man, though.
>Kross is utterly based, the >>"Random acts of violence" >gimmick is dimes
it is dimes, sadly they reintroduced him already and buried that gimmick with AOP's last match at SD
can't frickin stop reintroducing him over and over again
same as solo sikoa. they both always fricking lose. solo is just luckier because he's in Bloodline so he has more TV time. Kross on the other hand barely gets matches anymore and if he does, he just lose all the time then cut a moronic digital exclusive promo that it's all according to plan kek.
Why can't he get over?
Spooky shit doesn’t work. Judgment day stopped being spooky heels and got more popular being comedic frickups. Look at how House of black is failing. Bray stuff won’t work out either.
Shitter leaning on a look, also cant pull off the spooky shit because he has zero charisma
He's not that good. His Impact and AAA runs were pretty short and he only seemed impressive because their rosters are mostly small guys.
Idk, he just kinda floats about. He is like a modern mark mero except the camera cant focus on scarletts body like it could with sable.
terminal lack of "it"

Nah Scarlet absolutely has ‘it’ but she doesn’t want to wrestle and you can’t parade around like Sonny anymore. Kross is just dimeless
bingo

Cesaro syndrome. He has almost every tool to get over but he lacks presence.
He has presence. He never wins. Don't pretend it's anything other than shit booking from Papa H.
>Long flowing hair
>Chiseled body
>Smoking hot wife
>Makes a milly+ a year
>I'm supposed to believe a guy with a life as good as that would turn to the dark arts and the occult
Thats why he isn't over.
modern day test
These two would make better pornstars than wrestlers. They're in the wrong business. Also, lucky woman.
Yumola
She’s the hottest woman in wrestling right now (non-kween category)
mmmmmmm i WOULD wanna mess with her
Why do they refuse to push her?
built for bbc
thank you for drawing the house
Mmmmmmmmmm
he needs to be 'alpha scumbag douche with hot wife'. thats it
Basically this. Might just work
Nah it wont work because even then Triple H was more charismatic. I think the long hair might just not be working for him. He's a good looking guy but that's pretty much it... I rated his TNA work but damn he seems mediocre right now.
I dont understand why HHH used to rock a hoodie, a leather jacked and a jean jacket all together? Was it really cold in the arenas back then?
that always devolves into a cuck storyline
Triple H wouldn’t do that.
I dont think that kind of storyline would actually interest the wwe universe now.
Not yet. Just wait until cucky comes back.
Fricking this
Suited Jock Kross was best Kross, his new gimmick is pure cringe

comes off a kinda cringe tryhard here
>LOOK EVERYONE I HAVE A GIRLFRIEND!!!
nobody cares jackass
That’s his wife. He’s not allowed to take photos of him and his wife?
>nobody cares jackass
Looks like jesse ventura

>it was a parting frick you from Vince putting him in that mask
And he stayed and took it, even defended it like a b***h.
shit bike
Give him a redpill/manosphere gimmick where he'll come to the ring wearing on of those ear microphones and have him give a ten minute promo about how all the wrestlers are beta males
Unironically because they refuse to push him.
They keep reintroducing him but he never goes on a decent run of wins.
>No belt.
Give mes the ick.
kek this homie finally figured out if he starts to look like Lemmy Trips will book him more. Based. Gotta love the Krosser, you just gotta.
Listen Triple-Haitchuh, I got a hot wife-uh and leather jackets-uh. Even grew a Harley Race moustache-uh. The fact of the matter is you've gotta strap-uh the rocket to me
How has he not got her pregnant?
Why don’t you tell us

HOW COOL IS THAT?
From all the interviews Ive watched, 99% of wrestlers are swingers
Triple H most likely has already fricked her (several times)
if Tripple Bypass cums be will shoot die.
U right
I hate motorcycle people so much. South Park had it right.

BEER MONEY
WWE clearly let him get back on the gas. Dude was still flabby at Mania and a month later he is shredded. I mean, come on.
Kek scarlett is Hot and dimes kross is a charisma vacuum shitter who cant get over to save his life
I think it’s a testament to how much Scarlett loves Kross when you realize if she ditched him, she could have a pretty big solo career even with limited in-ring skills. She sticks right by her man, though.
god they're so hot
These 2 have a killer look. Too bad hes a charisma vacuum
Kross is utterly based, the

Trying way too hard.
Only low IQ people can't understand Kross. Best gimmick and promo only behind Phil.
>KOFI!!
He's such a goober IRL it's hard to take the spooky evil stuff seriously
mcintyre at home looking ass
