Remember when Paul Ellering promised the DOA would .com everyone's ass? I'd actually completely forgotten his whole "Mr. Dot Com" gimmick. IIRC, he did a commentary bit where he hyped up D.O.A. as twins he could program only once because they apparently shared a mind. (It's on Wrestling with Wregret's look on the Road Warriors' time in WWF, for those curious).

The Bloodline, but entertaining. Strongly disagree on this one. Kross and AOP have zero audience reaction. Stunned silence. They’re too cool. Too awesome. Too amazing.

Kross gotta make this one stick, he’s only got like three or four chances left after this.

If only the crowd had actually REACTED. That reveal was to crickets. It's an alliance of three people who were never over, it's not really a surprise.

Honestly, it's not like no reaction is virtually ever a great thing, it isn't, but when you're talking about heels, it's honestly not really THAT big a deal if they aren't getting a loud crowd from the word go, because fans have very little reason to boo effusively just based on "these are bad guys" and little in the way of evidence that they should be fiercely hated. It's moreso an issue if that continues to be the case down the line.

They're more entertaining to me off the sheer fact they aren't the Bloodline lol But yeah this is Tegan Nox syndrome a bit. AOP have been gone for ages, weren't eased back in, Ellering was kicked out of the group like week one of the main roster run, a run marred by injuries to them when they started becoming relevant with Rollins, and Kross has never gotten a reaction. They'll need something to heat them up and be taken as a serious threat.

Scarlet has been blonde, she has been a redhead, but brunette Scarlet is going to become more iconic than blonde Cody Rhodes. 😍😍😍

At some point you gotta realize that something about the dude just isn't working.

Kross has always come off better when he is paired with others he can play off of.
Rabbit Tribe in LU
Johnny and Taya in Impact
The only difference here is AOP are not strong personalities so Kross is gonna be doing all the heavy lifting which is fine as his promo ability is his biggest strength.

If they ever added anyone to this , Joe Gacy could be good with them.

Also I dunno what it is about blondes who go brunette to me, but dayum.

At some point you gotta realize that something about the dude just isn't working. I do agree, and I mean, this is at least something different for him, a group. Weirdly, a face turn is probably the last option left, and it might actually be a better idea as a last "eh, eh?" attempt, but I suppose this lets them also try to make AOP click at all.
