Solomon Crowe - it begins

[Stopspot]

Kalisto (the former Samuray del Sol, who notably brought his "lucha, lucha" chant over to WWE) came out after intermission to hype the rest of the events for the evening. NXT is basically having their new talent test their in-ring promo ability by having them as hype men, to those who might be confused.

Kalisto did his glowing baton routine, which actually is kinda cool, and he was about to do the traditional live event "hyping up the crowd by giving away free stuff" bit, when the lights went out and the sound you usually hear during an Emergency Broadcast Signal blared over the speakers. The lights were flickering, so you could barely tell at first, but someone had attacked Kalisto.

The lights came on to reveal Solomon Crowe, who has a very maniacal look on his face, with his finger hovering over a tablet, indicating that he basically has the entire arena hacked.

Without a word, he presses a button on his tablet, shutting off the lights and setting off the EBS alarm, and disappears.

From a house show.

Holy shit that sounds awesome.

 

[Dat Girl]

That sounds like a pretty damn good gimmick. Is he gonna come out with Daleks next time?

 

[Rogue]

So, they're gonna go through with that gimmick they tested at the NXT promo practice? Nice, I can't wait to see it come into fruition on NXT TV.

 

[THG?]

Wow, very awesome.

A tablet? To hack the arena? Really? Maybe its my background in CS but I find that hard to believe, of course this is WWE so I need to remember that bit. Sounds cool though. I wonder, is he good in the ring at all?

He's a beast in the ring, and his promos are top notch.

Crowe.....A Tablet.....Hacking the Arena.....
I can see Crowe being very successful.....Maybe a Feud with Kalisto?

I was cringing at this as well lol. Sounds cool besides that. Do we really need a tablet to explain that wrestlers have magical controls over the arena production? That is one plot hole in wrestling that I would have been able to live with without explanation

...

let's not act like this guy is the savior of the company or anything. He is a good brawler with unique promos. I wouldn't really consider him beastly or his promos 'top notch', but you've almost assuredly seen more of him than I so maybe you can provide me with some links that could bring me around

 

[Leo C]

Seems like a good gimmick, and this guy can cut a promo from what I've seen. Seems like a good one.

Not exactly calling him a saviour, just stating what I think of him.
I've seen him mostly in PWG, but there's no full matches on youtube. There's still previews of it though here (He appears on the shows pre-Ten): https://www.youtube.com/user/PWGWrestling and there's a bunch of other matches you can search on Youtube.

I may have exaggerated with his promos being top-notch, but they are indeed unique.

I like the guy, just not sure what to expect from him in WWE, particularly match wise. From what I've seen for me to enjoy his matches he needs to be working pretty stiff almost strong style matches and I just don't see WWE letting many guys get away with that, not sure if they'll suddenly start making exceptions for him. Although its possible with HHH taking more control in creative direction.

His moveset will most likely be watered down IMO, same with most indy guys when they come in, unfortunately.
