The party has been pooped for the former leader of the Exotic Express. There was some initial buzz for the overly flamboyant character that brought a few laughs with his in-ring antics. However, the buzz wore off.
The unfortunate thing is that this South African superstar actually had an interesting gimmick as Leo Kruger, a sadistic hunter that stalks the prey amongst the WWE locker room. It could have worked to have him debut as someone who wants to defeat certain characters to put on a figurative trophy wall.
Having the Kruger character play mind games to throw his opponents off of their respective mental states before the match could be a good way to help tell the storylines. It’s highly unlikely that the WWE powers that be will make that switch, which is a shame because the storylines with a Kruger would be a lot better than what we’ve seen with the Rose character lately.
This isn’t anything new with the WWE creative staff who would have something successful and then decide to do something completely different. One would hope they make the switch, otherwise it’s better to let him go so he can have more success elsewhere.
