Not Him? WWE Fans Sound Off About 37 Year Old Superstar's Return

They aren’t thrilled. The control of WWE has been a near hot potato in the last ten months or so, with Vince McMahon leaving the company, Triple H taking over, McMahon coming back and now the company being sold to Endeavor. It has led to some interesting changes throughout WWE, including wrestlers coming back after being let go. Now though, one of them is not being so well received.

Upon regaining power in WWE, Triple H brought back several names that had been let go by McMahon. This included Karrion Kross, whose first run on the main roster lasted only a few months before he was released. Kross returned last year and feuded with Drew McIntyre but has not had a major match in several months. Now fans are sounding of about his return on Twitter:

He needs more consistency with his booking (feuds that work & aren’t cut short), a good storyline (maybe forming a faction called the Kross Cult & making Xia a member (she flourished with Tian-Sha at NXT) & more opportunities to show off his skill (like with Shinsuke last night)

Because they haven’t showcased him the right way and none of the top champions are babyfaces so he can’t do that either, dudes a prized fighter just like Brock who needs babyfaces to feud with, didn’t help that they botched his first feud by having it be Drew

He has never worked, IMO. Quite possibly the most overrated wrestler in the world, over the past 5 years.

Also, people on here were always saying how good Kross was, yet could never provide a convincing reason why he was good.

He's just not good, Impact and Lucha Underground were able to present him as important but he just can't work outside of something like Lucha Underground where he can be presented in a way that works.

Hes not working in the professional wrestling business. Dude should consider another job.

Kross has been a fixture on SmackDown recently. Check out some of his time on the show:

Opinion: Kross is an interesting case as he certainly has the pieces to put together and make a star but for some reason it has never quite clicked. It would be easy to see him getting some kind of a push and he can back it up well enough between the bells, but it just hasn’t hit that top level yet. There is certainly still time for him, though much like in his promos, the clock means a lot.
