On a recent edition of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray explained why Karrion Kross’ current gimmick isn’t working on the main roster.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On Karrion Kross: “Unfortunately, I think Karrion Kross was one of the most tampered-with gimmicks that I’ve seen in a long time. Karrion Kross and Scarlett Bordeaux in NXT were presented in a way that was so cool. You wanted to see their entrance, you wanted to see him wrestle, you wanted to see her turn over the hourglass.”
On Kross never bouncing back from his earlier “Dollar Store Lord Humongous” gimmick by Vince McMahon: “It was so gimmicky … And I don’t think he’s ever really bounced back from that. I don’t think it’s catching on.”
On why The Final Testament doesn’t work: “The entire gimmick does feel a bit ’80s right now. Big guys, warriors of the wasteland … it’s all dark and menacing. It’s not resonating with anybody. And they haven’t destroyed anybody enough for people to care.”
