Kip in the Crowd

[Chiral]

Hopefully this doesn't fizzle out into nothing making this thread pointless, but Kip Sabian was in the front tonight doing his box on head gimmick. I noticed the camera randomly cut to him at least once during the show.

Curious to see where this is going.

SPOILER: Click to show

{Spoiler}Also have to get in my sudden thought during the show of Kip leading a stable of forgotten guys like him and Marko in some horrible jobber version of Nexus

Glad this gimmick is still a thing, Im very intrigued by it

That looks exactly like something that would be on a Dolph Ziggler shirt.

I'd probably just as soon watch Kip Sabian as Dolph Ziggler for that matter.

I'm sure it's supposed to be Kip, but I wonder if it actually was as him he was in the UK a few days ago visiting family. I'd laugh if they started an on-screen return for him with someone else under his box.

Kip has never been my favorite, but this is very intriguing to me.

I swear this guy was on Rampage last week as well.

He was I kept noticing him during the woman's tag match. I didn't notice him in the other matches but with the girls outside the ring it was kinda easy to spot his box head every time they passed it

Weird.

[The Dark Order Inferno]

He's still hurt, isn't he? It's a good way to keep him on TV, get people talking about him, and it's a good callback to the fact he probably doesn't want to be seen by his good friend Miro.


I'm a Kip fan, I hope this works out for him.

[Mid-Carder]

Maybe the Square Head chants should have been directed at him

[EP 54 is banned from Collision]

Prediction: Kip interferes in Cody Vs Sammy at Battle of the Belts, costing Sammy the match.

This makes me happy to see.

The original video and gimmick change was amazing (check it out if you haven't), and had so much potential.
Then he was doing fantastic work on his own trying to build this up, and it felt like nothing was coming from it.
Which was disappointing considering this is original, and could go in so many directions.

I was really worried that Kip was going to do all this work, make all this effort into being super kayfabe about it, only for it to fall short because either Tony Khan didn't get the gimmick, or that he was too busy playing with one of his numerous new toys from his ridiculously bloated roster.

I'm thrilled to see this is getting some shine after all.
