Contract and Free Agency Thread

Kross is really good on the mic/promo wise but I gotta say his ring work is a ehh at best

I feel like a short stint somewhere else where he can just go out there and wrestle would be cool. Maybe like NJPW or somewhere in Mexico ?

But hey what the fukk do I know

Idk how TNA was able to hide his limitations, but they did much better than the WWE ever did. He seemed to be a nice character with good promo skills, then the bell rings.

If this is thing with Kross is some work-shoot or shoot turned into a work, The E gonna be looking funny. First the injury work with Seth, then this. A major company working the IWC is next level corniness.

It's Russo in 2000 shyt

Dave is still saying that "most in WWE believe Kross will be back" so take that for what it is. Even if he does an indy booking or two that wouldn't dead it. The only way it'll be known for sure is if another promotion offers him a guaranteed contract

kross did really good character work, the devils/angels advocate character could work really well and can flip depending on if hes going after heels or face imo

serviceable ring work but being over with the crowd never been a detriment for the E style of wrestling if the brass likes them

Exactly. People wanna act like you need to be a Bret level worker when that’s not the case. In WWE, it’s always been entertainment factor over wrestling ability so being over with the crowd and being decent in the ring is more than enough .

Someone like him would have worked in AEW 2023 but now . Dude can feud with First Class in TNA

I'll be the first one to say it , by this time next year WWE will have lost a majority of it's momentum.

The vibes wether manufactured (Kross/Bayley) or organic (Dom/Naomi) won't be enough to keep intrest in a stale product.

Yeah he’s not going anywhere.

But at the same time…. Anyways what else is going on lol

You gonna explain this dumb post?

What's the point of working the sheets? We all know what that leads to...... absolutely nothing. I'd be happy for Kross and Scarlett to get a paycheck again but it won't lead to anything but intriguing backstage segments and vignettes, a random match which he will lose and then disappear for several months.

As far as actual wrestling is concerned, work with these guys and give them a style/moveset that will work with both their ability and character. It's not rocket science.

Again, that beak nosed fukk was giving Kross a start-stop push every few months to complete CDQ and when he finally gets over despite his limited screentime and jobber to the stars status, they release him. It's insane.

You know what; I want Vince back. There I said it.

Triple H was definitely a big fan of Kross but they just signed a few people recently and I'm sure there's an allotted budget for contracts. Not excusing how Triple H mishandled the push. Kross claims that his merch was starting to sell well also so if they had pushed him at that point maybe they would have recovered the money it would take to re-sign him.

Either way I think he will probably end up back in WWE whether it's a work or not. To answer your first question, working the sheets or working "the boys" should have died with Russo.
