Downs...

3. Good, But Hard To Believe In!

Man, it blows to give this a 'Down' considering how good Karrion Kross is at these promos, but...we've all been here before with his character. The first thought that flashed through this fan's head when he saw Friday's vignette was: 'Yeah, wonder how long this will last?'.

That says it all, sadly.

You've got to feel genuinely sorry for Karrion at this point. He's clearly a talented dude, but every WWE push just seems to go nowhere in the end. That's due to creative's start/stop approach, and it's the only reason why this otherwise-interesting promo gets a 'Down' here.

It's difficult to invest properly when you know the writers will lose interest within a matter of weeks. WWE honestly needs to quit hitting the soft reset button with Kross and Scarlett, because it isn't doing them any favours. Pick a direction and stick with it, for crying out loud. Give them a chance!
