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.

The dirt sheets overblow how much a booker/someone in charge likes a wrestler. I remember when Sheamus debuted and got a push, people were complaining that he was only getting a push because he was Triple H's gym buddy. Turns out that Sheamus is everyone's gym buddy :mjlol:

A wrestling company working the fans being corny is just tremendous

It does nothing when the IWC doesn’t even make up the majority of the live audience in each town. You think Lil Johnny gives a shyt about this? :mjlol:

It’s just for clicks and if it turns out to be a work it’s forgotten about a week later because the idiot son-in-law can’t book anything long term. :skip:

I remember that. My thoughts on Hunter liking Kross have more to do with how Kross was pushed in NXT. It seemed like HHH was a pretty big fan of his back then.

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.
