What is up folks? Seriously, what the hell am I supposed to do with an extra hour on Monday nights? I mean I could write a blog sure but I need my wrestling fix yo. From working six to seven days a week, wrestling is an escape for people like me. But whatever, that's another storee for another day.
Today's storee is built around a current angle I have enjoyed the hell out of as it continues to progress. An angle that continues to be the root of other angles that have branched out from it.
Karrion Kross is currently on his second stint with WWE. A stint that has been working out very well for not only Kross, but the rest of The Final Testament.
Karrion Kross is one of many Superstars that went through the unfortunate transition of being repackaged by Vincent after a succesful tenure on the NXT roster. But of course, this is a storee of triumph! And after Karrion Kross returned, I can say he has done great with his new character that only continues to evolve. A character that has now grown even stronger with a strong band of goons, a wiseman, and his queen at his side.
Karrion Kross has become the voice in the back of your mind that tells you you've been held back and robbed of everything you deserve. Karrion Kross is the Joker to Harvey Dent's Two Face in The Dark Knight.
Karrion Kross was definitely the reason The Miz finally woke up, chose violence, and realized he was done being held back by R-Truth, even though it's not R-Truth's fault Miz could never learn the lyrics to their entrance music.
But what I feel has been his biggest success is the slow burner that has been of Karrion Kross breaking up the New Day. This storee has shown a new, more aggressive and serious attitude to Xavier Woods that can make him a strong contender for any championship. Months ago Xavier Woods was all about having a good time, taking his vitamins, and saying his prayers. But now, Xavier Woods has looked the other way when another face is in peril, opting to worry about his own goals and what needs to be done for Xavier Woods. Kofi wanting to help someone else is what got Xavier and Kofi speared by Bron Breakker in the first place. Don't look now, but if New Day doesn't win the tag belts, we could see the New Day become a thing of the past.
Karrion Kross is about to be two for two. Who else can Karrion Kross and The Final Testament help see the error of their ways?
LETS GET TO IT YALL!!
BROWN'S FIVE AT 5
VOLUME 2 / ISSUE 10
FIVE SUPERSTARS KARRION KROSS CAN SHOW THE LIGHT
5. JOHN CENA
John Cena's Retirement Tour will be kicking off any day now right? We got a Big Four PPV coming up so I expect The Man Who Cannot Be Seen to either announce his target or be challenged by someone in the current locker room. John Cena's current exit strategy allows him to go out on his own terms and add to his legacy while elevating talent in the process. But the key word is legacy. Karrion Kross would remind John Cena of who we was and the ruthless aggression it took to gain a spot on the roster, become US Champion, and then later WWE Champion, and both more than once among various accolades. Karrion Kross would be the symbiote to John Cena's Brock, fueling and reawakening a monster John Cena was shown flashes of by the late Bray Wyatt. Karrion Kross would do what Kane could not, and that's for John Cena to embrace the hate. And in a time where John Cena is no longer needed to sell shirts, action figures, or tickets, John Cena can close out his tenure as the biggest heel on the entire roster defeating every last challenger that dared to use Cena's name as a stepping stone for their careers. Cena would remain undefeated until his final match where he would take a loss to a deserving talent worthy of being handed Cena's now retired Reebok Pumps. Plus I wouldn't mind a new John Cena shirt NWO style with the letters CWO for Chaingang World Order. Word life, beeyotch.
4. SAMI ZAYN
You know, I've always been supportive of Sami Zayn, dont get me wrong. But I have also been very vocal on the twitter of Sami Zayn just being handed a World Heavyweight Championship match simply based on the fact that he wouldn't stop poking (in person and on facebook) the bear that is Gunther. And now that that's over, what is next for Sami Zayn? Zayn has had a hard time getting the job done and maybe either needs a push in the right direction or Karrion Kross and his gang of goons in his corner egging him on the same way they did Woods and Miz. Zayn doesn't need to join The Final Testament, but if Zayn would listen to Kross there may be a chance that this tweak of character could give Zayn the edge (sit your ass down Adam) he needs to stay in contention for any championship. Kross could convince Zayn to go back to his roots with a return to NXT as a heel Sami Zayn where he can capture the NXT World Heavyweight Championship and help tune up some of the NXT main eventers into roster ready Superstars. And no one could ever really hate Sami Zayn. A couple months in NXT before a big return to RAW or Smackdown via ways of the Royal Rumble. Everyone wins.
3. OTIS
Not long ago, the Free Otis campaign ran wild as Otis finally broke free from Chad Gable and later refused to join up with American Made. And while noble in his cause, Otis' spark has fizzled out quickly while American Made continues to compete and advance in the tag team division. But has Otis really been freed? Instead Otis is back in the same loop of comedic relief talent used to elevate other teams on the roster. Karrion Kross gets in Otis' ear and reminds him that 2 of his last three partners, Gable and Tucker, have both turned their backs on him due to Otis' judge of character. Otis could become one of the most hated and most dangerous monsters once he is truly freed from the limitations of this new version of Alpha Academy. Otis turning on Tozawa and turning his back on the WWE Universe would break Maxxine's heart and make for great television in the lower midcard for a week or two before Otis moves on to becoming a serious contender for the WWE Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship. Free Otis.
2. CRUZ DEL TORO AND JOAQUIN WILDE
Cruz Del Toro and Joaquin Wilde have amazing chemistry together as a team stemming from their days with Legado Del Fantasma. Why they aren't featured more often is the dilemma, a dilemma caused by them having aligned themselves with Rey Mysterio instead of Santos Escobar. What benefit has either superstar had with LWO? When Cruz Del Toro was injured by Ridge Holland where was Rey Mysterio? Hell, Rey Mysterio didnt even hype or acknowledge Cruz Del Toro's absence or return. Look at Angel Garza and Humberto Carrillo who are now featured on a weekly basis either in the ring, a backstage promo, or vignettes. And this week Rey Mysterio was in a tag match to compete for a shot at the tag titles. Why couldn't it have been Cruz Del Toro and Joaquin Wilde in that match? Because Rey Mysterio only cares about Rey Mysterio. Karrion Kross will help them see the light and guide them to turning on LWO to either branch out on their own or return to their home, with Legado Del Fantasma.
1. ANGELO DAWKINS
I've been saying it. Bah gawd i've been saying it. Angelo Dawkins has the tools and the credentials to be one of the biggest solo stars on the roster. Even to this day, after everything Dawkins has done, Montez Ford still seems to be the favorite to be the breakout star. Dont believe The Great Brown Hope? Check twitter. You'll also find The Great Brown Hope has been very verbal about Angelo Dawkins needing to be the one to break away from the Street Profits and shine on his own. While Montez Ford could be one of the more over single faces, Angelo Dawkins can be the perfect heel on the opposite side. Karrion Kross would infiltrate The Street Profits to warn Dawkins that he needs to turn on Ford before Ford abandons him. The Street Profits are one of the more decorated, established, and known tag teams in today's STACKED tag team roster. Dawkins can make a serious push for the United States Heavyweight Championship, paving the way to a future move to the main event division. After competing in the King of the Ring tournament, Angelo Dawkins continues to stand out leaps and bounds compared to previous outings. A slight push in the right direction would put Dawkins on the track for solo greatness. Karrion Kross can be the devil in Dawkins' ear that'll bring out a deadlier competitor who is more than ready for the big show, it's all a matter of time. Tick Tock.
Thanks again for reading! It's been a busy few days but there's always time to talk some wrestling so thanks for taking your time for this. You're a Superstar no matter what anyone tells ya. Do you pimp juice.
