2. Karrion Kross Needs Something New

Eek.

Karrion Kross' second WWE run is going off the rails just like his first, and that's plain sad to see. He was cannon fodder for Bobby Lashley on Friday night - Kross was barely competitive at all before going down for the count and being comforted by Scarlett. The pair must be right p*ssed off with their plight.

How could anyone expect the couple to be thrilled with the way things are going? Kross can't have any complaints about doing the honours for Lashley (Bob's a former WWE Champ, and all that) but the overall lack of direction Karrion's career has is definitely concerning. He...didn't come across as a star at all.

It'd take a brave person to have a stab at figuring out what Kross' character is supposed to be these days too, which perhaps sums things up. He was off TV for months, then returned promising greatness before staring at the lights in just over six short minutes.

Things are not going well.
