10 Times WWE Absolutely Nailed A Wrestler's Presentation

There are many things about this wrestler's presentation that should not work, but the level of commitment makes it over the top. While Karrion's traditional look is simple and not entirely original, the effort and production value put into his entrance, and general aura is nothing less than sublime.

Karrion Kross's entrance plays so well with pacing, as it begins slowly, with the silhouette of his valet Scarlett at the top of the ramp, and the titantron depicting a raven flying towards her. This is entirely kept in black and white, making the aesthetic thoroughly gothic.

As Kross enters, Scarlett begins to walk to the ring and has the time of her life, as she lip-synchs to the musical accompaniment and milks every moment. This could quickly come across as cheap and goofy, but her commitment to the bit solidifies it. Then as Kross bursts into the ring, there is an explosion of energy, as the music intensifies and the lights flick to a fiery orange.

This entrance, and the smoke it leaves behind stays with viewers throughout the match, and it turns the great pairing of Kross and Scarlett into one of the most-see acts in WWE.
