They gave him everything a performer could want in NXT and it didn’t work. I’ll buy he’s underrated but man the WWE audiences don’t care about the guy.

I always laugh at how they take Scarlett out of frame whenever he does an interview because they know fans ain’t looking at Kross

I would have him replace Pat McAfee on commentary and just have Kross impersonate Jesse Ventura.

He was boring as piss when he was booked as NXTs big star too. Having him beat Keith Lee and having him end Finn’s reign are two of the low point towards the end of the black and gold era. The guy doesn’t have IT. Booking has nothing to do with it. Well, forgive me if I don't lend any credence to the words of someone who'll tell anyone who'll listen, that LA Knight doesn't have 'IT' either. Anyway, it's funny you should mention him beating Keith Lee... I said earlier that Kross has pretty much been sabotaged... well he was literally sabotaged by Lee in that match, with his sandbagging.

WWE needs better writers if they don't know what to do with Karrion Kross.

People love to blame Kross abut seem to forget how badly he's been booked. When he returned he was presented as Roman's next challenger but a few weeks later he gets fed to Mcintyre and after that he rarely appeared. He would show up now and again, have a small feud where he would lose and this was a recurrence until The Final Testament. How is someone meant to get over or connect with the fans in they're trapped in a cycle of piss poor booking? He's not even a top 250 in ring performer in the world lol. He's not getting a substantial push in 2024.

I think Karrion Kross is a good example of that TNG Picard line of "It is possible to make no mistakes and still fail." He has the look, he has the promos, he's decent enough in the ring, he has a gorgeous manager... he has all the elements that you would THINK would make him work, but nothing he does connects. I don't know how much of that is the booking though, because I feel like when he fell flat within a couple weeks of his main roster debut, they just cast him aside. Now he's part of the least-over stable in the entire company, primarily because they are the worst booked. There's raw talent in that faction, but when you are getting booked with as much oomph as The OC, you're never going to go anywhere no matter how good you might be.

On top of everything everyone has said.. terrible, awful, boring, etc. Ever since I heard him do his Jesse Ventura impression I cannot unhear it when he talks. Can’t take him seriously when that’s all I hear.

I felt like Vince killed his momentum the moment he first debut on Raw and Trips was doing whatever he could to put the broken fragments back together, but in the end, it didn't really help much. Would it have still mattered if Vince wasn't in charge and things were different? Who knows, but...that's my stance on it.
It's a shame, because he's suppose to be this black cloud character that's looming over the roster, but it seems like it's the black cloud that has been following him.

Jobbing? I agree with you. Crazy tbh. Great promos brother The microphone in the hands of anyone else is just a microphone. In his it becomes an instrument of boredom. The moment Drew pointed out that saying “tick tock” while using an hourglass didn’t make sense, it was all over for the Kevin Sullivan cosplayer.

Hasn't Dijak had a rough enough run on the main roster already? That would be even worse for him then the stupid Retribution stuff lol,at least he had some decent talent with him then. But no playing, that could actually work. If nothing else,it saves the fans from having to see Kross in the ring for the whole match and give a guy that has talent something to do.
