They could have him do all of this, but with Titus as a hypeman and Dana Brooke crunching the numbers. That was actually pretty fun. Now it's just Crews doing moves while sucking up all the charisma around him.

Is it that time again? Time for another "athletically gifted" gimmick?

Think this might tie into FOX wanting a more sports feel for SDL? Like Apollo is an athlete they can showcase without having to worry about comedy or storylines?

Has a 'human highlight reel' gimmick ever worked? One could argue that "Burn It Down" Seth Rollins is a variation of this gimmick that's worked well.

Apollo Crews is one boring dude. This seems like it would be a better spot for Ricochet.

That gimmick would work much better as a heel. A smiley guy doing doing flippy moves isn’t all that interesting at this point.

Put him with Rush & Lashley. I was gonna say this. Lio has brought so much personality out of Lashley in their twitter promos that it makes me wonder if he couldn’t bring the same out of Apollo. Then again Titus couldn’t get anything out of him really.

How the hell has this dude gone all the way through developmental to the main roster and still doesn't have a character or personality beyond "does nice moves" (which in this day and age of athletic wrestlers doesn't make you stand out anymore) and "has a big ass smile"?

That means they want him to take absurd bumps while still losing.
Don't do it, Apollo.

This gimmick doesn't work when you've been hella unimpressive for 2 years and pretty much had that gimmick already at one point.

Put him with Rush/Lashley No before someone says it........not as the New Nation. As the Newhaa Nation. I’ll show myself out. But it’s crazy how Akira Tozowa his best friend, who is ultra charismatic is in the same company, and was temporarily part of the same stable, hasn’t been permanently put on Raw as his tag partner:

I don't really see how this makes him any different to Ricochet, and a lot of people seem to love Ricochet but I don't get that either.

After his main roster debut, I started a thread about how impressed I was with his moves. They haven't really done much with him since
Though at one point I also talked about putting him with Titus to utilize both their strengths..then that actually happened.

He should come down to the ring with sparklers. That'll do the trick.
