It looks silly. Oddly enough, it looks sillier in Pro-Wrestling than it would in MMA, because at least in MMA you would know it was genuine. This felt like a bad scene in a good movie.
Cena and Batista had a bunch of forgettable feuds but if the point of having a wrestling show is have babyfaces and have them perform, they could've at least give them feuds even mediocre ones, as long as the fans could get to see guys they care about. And they obviously care about Knight and Kross.
I agree with this. People will care for 5 minutes if WWE bring him back, just like they did for Truth. Otherwise he ain't gonna be drawing in NWA or TNA.
Eh', I think Kross is more of an internet darling. They like what he says outside of the ring for the most part, but you could hear a mouse fart when he's wrestling. He's nowhere close to where LA Knight is, in terms of fandom.
I'm saying that any type of internet fandom a rassler gains should serve the "product" well, which is why I included Zack Ryder in the OP. HHH doesn't like wrestlers who can gain notoriety by themselves on the internet. He couldn't book himself well when he was part of DX, and he had to marry the boss' daughter for longevity in the business. I think when he sees that Kross/Knight/Rider can get themselves over, he gets insecure.
But Kross is nowhere close to that level. Not everyone who gets clicks here and there for occasional shoot interviews gets a contract. It's not a free for all. For all the shit Kross talks about being held down or whatever, he doesn't back it up as a wrestler. He's simply not very good. He has an okay look, and that's about it. Boring on the mic, boring in the ring.
