It appears that the new gear WWE has Karrion Kross wearing was originally planned for a former WWE tag team.
As well as the silly helmet thing he wears during his entrance, Kross now wrestles with leather straps across his chest like suspenders. Because apparently that makes him more marketable or something.
Anyway, former WWE Tag Team Champion Erick Rowan has said WWE had planned for him and Luke Harper (Brodie Lee) to wear the same when they were the Bludgeon Brothers.
Speaking on the Chairshots to the Cranium podcast, Rowan said:
“I remember the first pitch meeting for it. They showed us pictures of what they wanted the Bludgeon Brothers to look like. I think it’s almost exactly what Karrion Kross is wearing right now. It’s the Demolition leather straps that look like suspenders while you wrestle. We both looked at each other like, ‘No…’. I think that’s when I had a few friends design some things.”
After a rocky start including losses to Jeff Hardy and Keith Lee, it seems Karrion Kross is finally building some main roster momentum with a few wins in a row now, but we’ll have to see how long that lasts.
