Ohno call up halted

[Stopspot]

Plans for NXT star Kassius Ohno, f.k.a. Chris Hero, to join the main roster have apparently been put on hold.
According to a source, the creative team had a storyline to introduce Ohno this summer. People within the company were impressed with his in-ring skills and his promos, and had asked him to improve his physique while creative worked on his introduction. According to trainers at NXT, Ohno seemed reluctant in the weightlifting and gym sessions, although he continued to receive high marks for his overall attitude and the great effort in his daily in-ring sessions.
Word got back to Triple H about Ohno dodging gym time, and he was removed from TV tapings. Ohno has missed two tapings in the past few weeks, and there is said to be increased concern about his status with the company. A lot of people are still high on him, but this could prove to be costly for one of the top prospects in WWE's developmental system.

Ohno, Y u no get in gym?

"According to trainers at NXT, Ohno seemed reluctant in the weightlifting and gym sessions, although he continued to receive high marks for his overall attitude"

What? That doesn't make any sense.

Agree with this decision, if the guy isn't gonna look like he's ready for TV then he shouldn't be on TV. Wonder what they're going to do with that storyline though, is someone else going to take his spot?

I nominate Sami. :smug:

According to other dirtsheets they are high on Kruger and are looking to debut him. But then again, Heyman did tell Punk to STAY DOWN on Smackdown (But that is mostl ikely just me reading into it too much)
:smug:

Don't be fucking stubborn, Ohno. You're talented, you're a future star, but at the moment you're not one. Punk can afford to say "Look, HHH, stfu, I'm not working out" - you can't. Get in the gym and get in acceptable shape.

I NOTICED IT THAT TOO! I was thinking about what if Graves were to be another new Heyman guy, but I thought I was reading too much into things as well. Dunno' how much Heyman pays attention to NXT.

Kruger as a Heyman guy would be disgusting. Ew.

Kruger isn't the Heyman guy being possibly teased. Graves is.

 

[Crayo]

Meant Graves. Both are ew regardless. Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

What is the appeal of Graves? He sucks lol.

(But that is mostl ikely just me reading into it too much)

Yes, yes you are.

Also, can anyone link me a promo or a match as to why this guy is so damn great? He's shown me nothing to get excited about. (Besides his match with Regal obvi)

oh and while we're at it can someone explain what is so great about Kruger as well?

I don't watch NXT regularly, so I haven't seen a ton of either guy, but from what I have seen these two are both lame as hell.

Obviously having a good match with Sami Zayn isn't much of an accomplishment, the guy can carry a doorknob, but he had a really good showing in this match:



Congrats, Leo. First good thing I've seen out of you after a year of watching this.
Agree on Graves as well, but there's potential there.

Ohno's always said that he hates the gym and would skip it during his high school football days because he was ashamed of people seeing him trying to work out. Regardless, if he's going to let the gym stop him from becoming the star that he deserves to be then that would make me sad.

Despite his look, he still should have been called up to the roster months ago. It's kind of ironic that he wasn't put into The Shield because then we wouldn't have to see his love handles on tv.

If anyone defends Ohno on this then I don't know what to say. This is obviously all on him and if he thinks, as Crayo said, he can skip obligatory gym sessions because company officials are high on him he's out of his mind. Although let's not rule out the possibility of whether something personal affected his work-out routine or anything that might have hurt it in general. It's a shame though as this had to be the case right before a potential debut, even more so if they really are high on him. I like the idea of him being a Heyman guy but I think him debuting to the aid of Punk would be more interesting.
