DOWNS…

4. Nikki Cross Is Still Crazy

At what point can everyone declare that WWE is bankrupt on ideas for a particular wrestler?

It’s pretty clear the writers have run out of ideas for Nikki Cross, who has been reduced to simply staring blankly into space in the background of backstage segments, hiding in plain sight in a way that she almost appears as a meaningless Easter egg. She adds nothing to segments, and there is no interest or intrigue behind where this is headed or what she’s going to do next.

The fast that this is all WWE has for Cross – a talented performer who can go in the ring – shows that despite the positive strides during the past 18 months, there still are plenty of holes in the company’s booking.

This weird gimmick has been going on for months now, and it’s pretty safe to say that it’s not going to lead anywhere good, or anywhere at all.

Scott is a former journalist and longtime wrestling fan who was smart enough to abandon WCW during the Monday Night Wars the same time as the Radicalz. He fortunately became a fan in time for WrestleMania III and came back as a fan after a long high school hiatus before WM XIV. Monday nights in the Carlson household are reserved for viewing Raw -- for better or worse.
