10 Absolute Worst Gimmicks In WWE Right Now
1. Karrion Kross
And the obvious choice goes to... weird gimp man.
Karrion Kross may not be the most exciting wrestler when the bell goes, but NXT did a damn good job of making him seem like a dominant force and a dangerous man. Those early, close up promos and the eerie sand timers created a sense of impending doom and he was fed some of the biggest names on the brand to build his credibility.
Then, with the NXT Title slapped around his waist, he walked out on RAW without the usual pomp and pagentry and looked like generic jobber number two. Then, he was beaten swiftly by Jeff Hardy.
It was a disaster and the WWE creative machine needed to come up with something big to save what seemed like a main roster sure thing. Maybe they could bring back Scarlett and give him the massive entrance? Perhaps have him cut an ominous promo and then batter someone with credibility.
Or, send him out dressed like a literal gimp, complete with leather straps that stay on during the match and a goofy mask. There is sh*tting the bed and then there is this. The man is a busted flush already and although they are trying to have him inherit the beloved Sean O'Haire gimmick from seventeen years ago, it feels like too little, too late.
Kross could have made a splash on the main roster, but all he has done is make a splat. A hilarious, Shockmaster-esque splat.
