Why did they even call up Apollo Crews?

Should have a storyline where he's pissed there's never been a black world champion, demands to be the first and starts wrecking shyt till he gets his wish. Beating everyone up backstage, ripping the crowd (and calling them racist if they boo him), the comms, randomly interrupting matches ala Strowman, wrecking shyt backstage demanding to meet Vince/Hunter, calling them out and shyt. All leading to a world championship run :blessed:

Dude is 5'8 and has a permanent goofy smile. You're expecting him to be Real Ass Black Stone Cold? :mjlol:

I assumed they called him up because Neville was injured at the time and they needed a healthy flippy guy. I do root for Apollo though, brother has talent... in the ring. I remember he did a cringe promo in NXT where he was supposed to come across as vengeful. I think he got beat up the episode before I don't remember by who, anyway he couldn't stop cheesing and looked goofy. I cooled off on him then, thought he needed to cook more, but he's getting main roster money so good for him.

Dude reminds me of Lashley with even more cringeworthy mic skills. Don't know if Lashley is a good talker now but in WWE i hated hearing him talk. He needs a manager BAD!

Like eye to eye with Balor. Certainly too short to get booked as king bad ass beating the shyt out of everyone.

Yeah, that means dude just short and squatty. Probably looks weird as hell in person.

nikka looks wack and is trash in the ring with no mic skills

He should've stayed in the indies a few more years and retired, that way I never would have had the misfortune of seeing him work

He has everything you'd want in a Superstar. Great in the ring, great look, OK on the mic, but he just doesn't have a connection with the crowd. He got called up too early, tbh, he should've spent more time down in NXT because they actually HELP you become a crowd presence. He isn't over at all and he has to be for everything to work.

Unless you're Roman Reigns and Vince McMahon has a hard-on for you.
