I am actually majorly pissed. I really, really wanted to like Crowe. I'd never seen him before, only read about him and I was genuinely excited to see him debut. A hacker gimmick has SO much potential, and the name alone is bad-ass.
But..what the f*** is Crowe supposed to even be? His entrance looks like the feed is being hacked, then Crowe runs out like Mojo Rawley, doing the wild and crazy babyface act. His finisher is terrible as well.
It's been two weeks since he showed up, so hopefully they can salvage him, but they really need a 100% overhaul. What a shame.

Totally agree. NXT is also my first exposure to him, so maybe he was awesome elsewhere, but this week on NXT, he looked inferior to Bull f***ing Dempsey.

He looks like an Orange Troll Doll. He's got a long way to go.

Really? Initially I thought he looked stupid as hell when I first saw him, but now I'm warming up to him a lot.

His finish is garbage. I've seen him before, always liked him, but he definitely needs to change some stuff around.

He really needs new gear, it's looks like he's got a stain on the back.

It's like they want him to still have all that hacker stuff but then he's also kinda punk-ish and really energetic. It's not meshing together as a character at all, and his finish is the actual worst I've ever seen. I didn't think it would even get the pin just because it looks so terrible. Not even weak in execution, just as a move in general.

You are famous for threads about not liking people. Luckily, unlike Los Matadores and New Day and main roster!Emma, I suspect Solomon will actually win you over. It's early yet.

I've seen him many times before and he was one of the guys that I didn't get the hype for. I was actually hoping to see that because of all this time he spent in developmental before he made TV, that he would have a new look, new gimmick, just something that would make me understand what everyone else seems to see in him.
However Solomon Crowe seems to be a watered down version of Sami Callihan.

The finisher sucks but I'm on board with Crowe. He looked legit against Dempsey and memory serves it's only Corbin who has beaten Bull right?

I think a hacker gimmick has no potential. Shoulda stuck with his Indy gimmick instead of being a life size troll doll with basic computer skills.

So much potential with the gimmick, yet so poorly executed. Nothing is consistent about his character, he seems to be going in four different directions at once. This is isn't even commenting on his look which is...bad, to say the least.

I don't hate the move... but it just seems like it should be a signature spot not something he uses to score pinfalls with. I thought it was weird that they do the feed hack and then go into the music he does instead of some techno/electronica sounding thing if he's supposed to be a hacker... then again I have no idea how the hell a hacker gimmick works in professional wrestling... I don't mind his look other than the tan since that's pretty much what he looked like the few times I saw him in the indies.

He's Kizarny/Jericho on a Pizza Diet with a fear of Norton's Anti Virus.

Is the bathing suit look because he has Fat-Bastard-at-the-end-of-Austin-Powers syndrome from his weight loss still?

For live stuff you have lights going out, pyro misfiring, the wrong music playing, embarrassing video clips playing. Then throw in the social media element of him hacking twitter accounts, cell phones for embarrassing photos, whatever. Rig WWE polls to show that Solomon Crow is the best wrestler of all time. Mess with the WWE Network somehow, maybe putting Solomon Crow segments into everyone's watch list (though people can be touchy about stuff like that, see U2/iTunes) When he's a face, he can mess with the bank accounts of rich snobby villains. When he's a bad guy, he can get the faces into legal trouble with incriminating evidence planted via hacking. Theres a lot you can do with it, but the end result in the current creative's hands is going to be on par with Dean Ambrose's non-nonsensical exploding TV.

Not to worry. There have been plenty of characters in NXT whose debuts left alot to be desired.
There's always a chance they'll tweak things and make them work.
