This Adam Rose gimmick is going to fall flat on it's face. Send him back to NXT why you have the chance & repackage him. This gimmick is too much like 3MB.

people are shitting on it now, but as soon as he debuts on the main show everyone will start sucking his dick.

It's Party time all the time

I've seen one match of his from NXT and all those video packages. IMO, judging from that alone, this won't make it very far purely because he looks unbelievably forced when doing...well...everything. I'm trying to figure out whether he's meant to come across deliberately unnatural or not...

^ His Russel Brand voice imitation is obviously forced at some points. But he's got the mannerisms right. A gimmick like that won't probably last long IMO. His Leo Kruger gimmick was kind of generic but he made it look good.

I think he'll have a really nice run on the under-card but a gimmick like this...

1: definitely caps his ceiling. As more of a comedy character, he'll never raise up the card.
2. Won't last long, as once all the antics and jokes are through, so is he.

Agreed.

@Frenchie; It's his mannerisms that worry me the most xD

I think he doesn't believe the gimmick. Maybe when the fans start cheering for him he'll try harder.

Yeah, that's often the issue. Many wrestlers don't "get" their gimmick. I hope it does work, though.

It's nothing like 3MB. They're a rock band, he's a party-going hedonist.

The wise and all-knowing Minkaro has spoken

I see it being a Brodus Clay thing. It'll be fun for a few months then it'll get old.

^
That was fun for about one entrance when everyone soon realised it would go nowhere xD

They won't have to depush Rose because he is dangerous in the ring, though.

He'll be tag teaming with Fandango in a few months.

I like the gimmick, though, and it's going over well in NXT. If they can make it work as well on the main roster he should be fine. I want to see what happens when he loses, if his party train comes back out and carries him off still. That'd be funny to me, them carrying him off like druids with 'Taker, but that goofy music is playing and they're still partying.

Brodus is a bad example. He was "nearly" terminated because someone called his momma.

As for Rose. It's a pity he's going to last, if much, one PPV. After that, back to the Undercard OR NXT.
Unless they get really high on him and get him placed for the US/IC title picture.

I liked him as Leo Kruger, but I don't hate this gimmick, I just also can't see it going very far.

Well not everyone can be a main eventer or world champion.
