I loved him on NXT 4 as The Rat character especially when Ricardo grew jealous of him and tried to kill him with Rat Poison.
The Ascension make me skip ahead on the status bar on Hulu every time their music starts. At least they're apparently dropping the O'Brien part of his name, which at least make them seem more supernatural.

He's now KONNOR I believe. Because they're pretty much Mortal Kombat characters as it is, may as well go full on with it!

It's hard for me to take him seriously as this scary, evil-laughing supernatural character when the first thing that comes to mind is his "Rat Boy" gimmick from the old NXT.

"Rochester, New York....Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii"
The rat thing was hilarious to me because the first time it was introduced it was him saying in a vignette how he was bullied as a kid and called "rat", and how much it hurt him. And then after a few weeks of getting 0 reaction on NXT he started acting like a rat. It's like the kid who eats worms saying he wants to be respected as a real person, only to start eating worms again when nobody pays attention to him.

I kinda like the goth/dark gimmicks but I just don't see them going anywhere in the WWE. They seem so viciously jobbable.
Vince clearly hates that shit, I mean we're literally at a 100% rate of "are you a vamp/goth/dark gimmick? You're jobbing"
I know they aren't quite yet on nxt but...on the main shows? That's where its at.
My infatuation with this stuff is still from a girlfriend I had in high school, but f*** it sue me.
You know how I normally don't give a f*** about divas? Paige is gonna show up and...I'm sorry, I'm gonna start marking for them. I can't help it. Sue me for being a hetero. I f***ing drool for black haired pale skinned girls, always have.
What are you all gonna do, yell at me for being a guy? =P I'll try to keep it under control.
I bet more than a couple of you are with me on this.

To be fair, a number of dark gimmicks have been pushed or over. Undertaker and Kane are the obvious choices, as well as Mankind in his original incarnation, and they did try pushing Kevin Thorn for a little while, but true, many of them are not used in a high-card fashion much. It may be in part since it is going to get the inevitable comparison to Kane and Undertaker, and those are awfully big standards to meet.

Yeah true so we're at what like 98%? I'm pretty sure you could get the spirit of my post. Also can we even put Undertaker in that area? He's in his own region. But I'll give him to you. You've been watching WWE for a bit though right? Surely you've noted how it's a comical running joke where any such things get jobbed? Yeah obviously there's an exception. For every one though, I can name what, 8? That's what' I'm getting at here. He doesn't care for it. Then I have to step into the range of what Vince personally considers in that range. We're going into people with dyed hair and all that (which includes people that have no such gimmicks but look like Rollins or even Kaitlyn) That's what I'm talking about here. Then we get into stuff like the Brood. It's just something Vince isn't into. Vince is a jock. He wants to be a wrestler. He's a 60 year old guy that roids up and doesn't identify with any of that. We've seem him on magazine covers, that isn't his thing. Do you get what I'm saying?

Also Kevin thorn wasn't pushed. He just appeared. Vince doesn't identify with that kind of thing. Taker and kane are honestly an anomaly. Mankind, I don't classify in that neighborhood. Just being different or weird or even evil? It's just not what I'm talking about. Vince doesn't identify with the alternative type stuff. see my above post.

Kevin Thorn was on ECW, but they had him undefeated for some time, and had him dominating guys for a while before they soured on Kevin after Ariel left, so it isn't like he wasn't pushed, even if he was not one of the big players in the grand scheme of things. I think there may be some truth to what you are saying, but it isn't as cut and dry as all that.

I'm not looking to start shit on this kinda stuff, no fun for anyone. Sometimes you can tell things will just lead to arguing and it'll be lame, heh.

I like female wrestlers as a whole though, to me wrestling is personality-based so even if they're not on the athletic level of the dudes they bring something fresh to the table in that way. I dig Paige's combination of badass dominant style in the ring, and gothy, almost sort of shy demeanor. From a character point-of-view, and a "does it for me" point-of-view.

He's flat out the worst wrestler they have on NXT, and he was the worst since day one when he walked into this company... which was like 12 years ago.
