All those stars he had in the 80s and 90s were brought in from nowhere?

Or maybe just maybe, those dying territory wrestlers that were brought in, were in those dying territories after the boom for a reason.

Well yeah I agree, but why put them in such goofy gimmicks only to ruin their credibility. Like what they did with Karrion Kross and the helmet, I am not even a fan of him but I just don't get why they did it.

I can't speak for Kross, probably thought he was boring and needed something.

Not like people weren't saying that very thing when he was NXT champ here.

His character should've been Slenderman instead of a Gladiator.

Kross never had a place on the main roster. I knew from the day he debuted that he wasn’t gonna last long.

Even Corbin back in his call-up days had already more to him than Kross ever had... imo

Hard to say. Yes, there are some cases where you can easily see, that there was some kind of weird Vince just being petty, revengeful Vince, but probably many of those cases where people would say it's obvious he did it to ruin them, have more angles to it. Just my two cents...

It's kind of sadly funny to see people out there who actually believe a man would sabotage people he's giving his own money to on a platform that he pays for, Maybe the man just thought those were good ideas....get out of the bubble and use some common sense.

That's basically what i've been wanting to say. I'm sure there have been occasions where he's soured on someone and gone on to intentionally "ruin them" but I can't think of anyone recently off the top of my head right now, especially not the Kross and Keith situation. I'd believe it a hell of a lot more if they had been stars in AEW and they snagged them away when their contract was up and then this situation unfolded.

I'd say there's probably been a very minor amount of people he's spitefully given bad gimmicks too, I don't think it's that easy to pinpoint them exactly though because like others have said, I genuinely think most of these ideas are actually thought of as GOOD :heston Which is possibly sadder? Idk makes Vince more innocent but also more out of touch, he'd probably prefer the evil, conniving, spiteful persona instead so maybe we should keep that up. Alot of guys I think you can just chalk it up to them not realizing what they had and the fact that they just give batshit gimmicks to people they don't know what to do with.
