I never liked Kross or the Authors of Pain so at least they'll be one act instead of two.

Based solely off that promo package? Push them to the moon.
The reality is though they’ll shuttle around the mid card before getting RKO’d into oblivion at some point.

Kross needs this because he's been a bust on the main roster. Maybe this will actually give him something to sink his teeth into. For as much as they push him they might as well treat him like Triple H circa 99-01. Just that guy who you see as a major contender who does heinous acts.
I'm not even a fan of dude like that but shit, he's a former NXT Champion. We can't be wasting talent.
Kross has basically been a bust in his entire WWE Career. Dude was not over in NXT either... and that was during the time when everything was getting over in NXT...

At least the dude is now part of a stable. Dude was good as the goon for Johnny Mundo in AAA and for Austin Aries in Impact, and he worked as the White Rabbit in LU. At least now he's playing to his strengths. The other part was that WWE doubtless signed him for his previous look, but his current look doesn't carry the same menace now that he's larger and has shoulder length hair.

I am interested in just how this entire thing is going to work because you have 2 very strong promo guys in Ellering and Kross and you have Scarlett who is a fine promo herself so I wanna see who gets the bulk of it when they are around as a full unit.
And gonna reel in the claim a bit that he was never over NXT....I mean if you only talk about the near end of it when he was getting buried to hell and back by the likes of Cole than ok.
His peak IMO came in the brief Santos feud when he leaned very strong into being a tweener with the slant towards babyface and he was over with the crowd too bad HHH did not ride this out because I felt this was the right path for Kross at the time.

I also always have doubts when guys leave WWE and do almost nothing before coming back. AOP had a lot of areas to improve on and they did nothing since they were released. They have to shake off three years of rust.

Excited for when those three figures step out of the shadows and reveal themselves to be the Authors of Pain and...Eric Young, who HHH has somehow hired yet again.

Kross is fine in-ring and a decent enough promo when he gets focused. AOP's apparently been back for awhile, so wondering if they've had more time at the PC to get back into shape than expected.
I'm not expecting them to be some top tier stable, just somebody to cause problems for folks like AJ, Rey, etc. in that upper midcard tier.

Eric Young is a very underrated talent who had the misfortune to have his peak years coincide with Vince Russo booking TNA, and he was usually given godawful storylines. Dude also had a knack for getting things over, so if he joins the stable, it's fine by me.

I will accept this only if they include Sawyer Fulton! I love how that video attempts to take all these forgotten, nothing angles that nobody cared about that Kross was in and reframe them to make it look like Kross is the Keyser Soze of the WWE shaping it into what it is today. That's some impressive recontextualization there. I'm iffy on bringing back Ellering with the AoP if they're just gonna work as Kross' heavies. Kross can talk for them easily and Ellering would probably be more valuable down in NXT helping other young talent.

I hope the AOP have Kross on their shoulders as the bring him into the ring for his rumble entrance.
He can wear a crown too if he pleases.
I can see this guy winning King of the Ring if they do bring it back for 2024.
King Karrion Kross.

Kross is the absolute worst and he's the one HHH fixation that I'll never be able to understand. Easily my least favorite on the roster, instant fast-forward when I'm watching the shows. At some point just stop trying!

Kross is the definition of trying to make "Fetch" happen.
