10 Wrestlers That Became Complete Party Animals
3. Adam Rose
All gimmick rather than what proved to be a rather challenging reality, the 2014 reinvention of Leo Kruger into self-styled gleeful guru Adam Rose made NXT (and, theoretically WWE's near future) look like the entire process of star creation had been overhauled.
Outside of a reasonable look, Kruger had been a rather unremarkable prospect on the developmental brand, until he became the life of the coolest party in wrestling.
With half of the March 6th 2014 episode of the black-and-gold brand dedicated to his new gimmick's introduction and in-ring debut, there was little else anybody else could talk about beyond Rose in the weeks that followed.
The nascent Full Sail product rarely caught the eye of the mainstream main roster fanbase in general but this too was an outlier - Rose and his perma-party aesthetic was h*t s**t in Orlando until Vince McMahon flicked the big light on at 1am and tried to make him such good sh*t around the world instead.
