3 Ups & 10 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (Sept. 6)

9. Sounds Of Silence

Has the Karrion Kross experiment reached the point where we can pull the plug yet?

Monday’s mess featured a Moist TV segment where Kross actually talked like a normal guy for a bit before talking about eliminating John Morrison out of existence. Who talks like that? This set up their match (more on that later), but it was his path to the ring that caught this writer’s attention.

Much has been made about Kross’ new laughable ring gear, but we really have to take a minute to comment on how during his entrance, he was met with absolute silence. People weren’t even reacting to him as he trudged to the ring with his Sultan-reject mask.

What made it worse was that the announcers then immediately started talking about their partnership for Pediatric Cancer Awareness Month, essentially cutting away from Karrion before he got into the ring to throw it to a video package. That’s how you know you’re a nobody that WWE doesn’t care the slightest about.
