I'm digging it. The accent might ruffle some feathers but he's carrying himself like a star and a gimmick like this introduced during BHM was the right time to do it 

If they break up Omos from AJ anytime soon, I think they can make an interesting pair assuming Omos can do something in the ring but even as Crews heavy he works

There's a good chance this goes off a cliff, but this is the first time I've ever been remotely interested in Crews.

[EoE: Well There's Your Problem]

Is he going to start sending scam e-mails telling the other wrestlers that they have a claim to royal Nigerian gold?

[Deleted]

This is the gimmick that will put him where he needs to be. He's had the skill but now he has the character and confidence. He'll go places with this one. It's mad dope.

[Gus Richlen Was Wrong]

Nope.

Nope nope nope nope nope nope nope.

"Evil Kamaru Usman Knockoff" is a shit gimmick. Plain and simple.

[Jonathan Michaels]

Is all this only because Coming 2 America comes out next week?

[Jedi-El of Tomorrow]

Are they actually running with Christian Okoye's nickname?

[Captain Stud Muffin (BLM)]

For those that didn't see, he's not calling himself Nigerian Nightmare, I am

Tho I expect it to catch on soon enough tho in WWE

[Chiral]

This feels like the first time he's had like, an actual character in....like his entire WWE/NXT career.

Him running a scam on Million Dollar Man Cameron Grimes would be, pardon the pun, money.

MJF about to call him out for that scarf

It's the first gimmick Apollo has had outside of "Smile and glad to be here", it's about how he can make it unique or his own... if at all. But this is his chance to show if he can truly make something work.

[Rican]

I’ve always liked Apollo so I’m glad they’re giving him something to work with.

I saw the thread title and thought it was about the indy tag team of the same name.

[MrElijah]

Huh. I always thought if they were going to give a gimmick to Crews, it would be the Sun God to play off his name.

It's not even a good gimmick. It's GRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

[Instant Classic]

Still couldn’t give a rats ass about him, but this is a step in the right direction.

[Captain Stud Muffin (BLM)]

I felt like he was pretty clear in his first promo so he really isn't just a generic angry heel

[Harry The Arrow was Wrong!]

I assumed he only did the accent because he was quoting his grandfather which makes sense to me.

Anyway, I loved it. It's nice to finally get some character and background on him. It's easily the best he's ever sounded on the mic. He carried himself like a star.

Loved the new gear too.

Crews: "Five wives, man"
Orton: "I hear that"

Oh God, I wonder if they're going to start piping in "USA!" chants during Crews' matches.
