WWE, the Adam Rose experiment has failed. It had success for a brief time on NXT (largely thanks to a kick-ass theme song) but the second it debuted on the main roster, it bombed (maybe due to the aforementioned kick-ass theme song being changed to a soundalike, who knows?) and it's not hard to see why. Seriously, put him in a ginger wig and a pair of glasses and you basically have Austin Powers. When Adam Rose first came up to the main roster, he had a brief feud with Jack Swagger and Zeb Colter before doing the rounds on PPV preshows and filler material on Raw, as well as advertising the latest toys and merchandise. From there, things began to go downhill, as he began a begrudging tag team with a member of his entourage, namely a giant anthropomorphised Bunny rabbit. Quite frankly, when you get upstaged by a giant Bunny who is supposed to be just a part of your character, you have hit rock bottom. That's like Crash Holly having a feud with that giant set of scales he used to carry around. Fortunately, there is a solution: Leo Kruger. Before he was Adam Rose, Kruger was a deranged mercenary reminiscent of Kraven The Hunter. In fact, here's a promo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JVZEX0sRjE Yup, that'll do.
Stephen Maher has been a rock star, a bouncer, a banker and a busker on various streets in various countries. He's hung out with Robert Plant, he was at Nelson Mandela's birthday and he's swapped stories with prostitutes and crack addicts. He once performed at a Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras by accident. These days, he passes the time by writing about music, wrestling, games and other forms of nerdery. And he rarely drinks the blood of the innocent.
