How can something work so well at NXT and fail so miserably on Raw? (Emma, Bo).
Rose didn't have enough time to get the gimmick worked out on NXT. Like I said before, have him get a concussion and come back as Leo Kruger.

I don like Adam rose but this is bull crap hey are giving up on him when. Yet they think giving Miz a Johnny Cage gimmick is workable. They think Hornswoggle & Torito are worth TV time. They think putting Colons under masks as bullfighters are a great idea. They think dedicating the top spots on the show to Stephanie & Brie are a good idea even when the ratings always go down. And everyone is say wwe's future is bright with HHH in charge Oh look, it's Mr. Negativity. Miz's Johnny Cage gimmick is actually working quite well. He's one of the most natural heat magnets on the roster and plays the character well. Hornswoggle and El Torito are over HUGE with the kids and guess what? That's the WWE's core audience. Los Matadores brings El Torito, who is great for kids. Plus, while I enjoyed Primo and Epico, they weren't exactly the most over tag team. Brie and Stephanie shouldn't have gone on last, but it was a well built and high profile angle. Ratings usually dip in the final hour anyway, unless it's something huge. And Triple H is not in charge yet. So hush.

Adam Rose and his crew are basically an acid trip party toned way down to PG levels. Instead of coming off as a raver party guy it comes off as a children's party gone wrong. They handcuffed themselves, there was no where to go with that gimmick. Very few purely comedic gimmicks last a long time in the wrestling world.

I've never made it a secret that I didn't care for Rose. I didn't get it in NXT, I definitely didn't get it on the main roster, and seeing it go away comes as very little surprise. I liked the music and the bunny but nothing Rose did was any good IMO.
I do love me some Bo Dallas though. I think what he got to work in NXT over time is working the same way on the main roster.
We've seen far more talented guys than Rose get far less opportunity. No loss if you ask me and time to use the spot on another talent.

I love Adam Rose and enjoy his gimmick. All I know is, Vince needs to stop listening to Kevin Dunn. Kevin Dunn is a lemon -WMD

Well I knew is gimmick won't get him major success, but I didn't think it would lead to people backstage giving up on him.

I really don't understand why Bo Dalas isn't in better shape.. His torso shakes.. He isn't overweight like his brother either, if he really dedicated to the gym dude could look WAY better than he does.. But he looks like an underachiever. All he has to do is...BO-LIEVE!

I was super open minded to Rose, but he just ended up falling flat for me. It's been said by others, but in a less PG setting he'd work much better; you could then really go for the partying and drug use.

The amount of articles generated by how WWE supposedly feels about Adam Rose is amazing. Really.
It's a low-card comedy gimmick. It was never meant to be anything more. Dirt sheets just need to accept that, and realize that because of it, Adam Rose not appearing on Raw every week isn't some huge story.
Go watch live videos on YouTube. People like singing along to the song, and it warms them up for the show. That's his role. What's the problem with that?
(And my obligatory: Leo Kruger sucked.)

I've never really been a Rose fan since I first saw him in NXT. Since debuting his character has come off to me as more annoying than anything and I was disappointed that talented workers like Swagger and Sandow had to make him look good. His theme is the only thing I enjoy about him and don't mind not seeing him on Raw. Now only if the WWE can get Miz, El Torrito, and Hornswaggle off my TV every Monday.
I love Bo though. I was skeptical about his gimmick when he first debuted because I felt it screamed "JOBBER" on the main roster. However, he has put a lot into his character and I can say that I'm a Bo-liever. I do feel though that he could try and get himself into better shape and find a better finisher. Whenever he does his finisher, it looks awkward and I always think "why is he using a diva's finisher?" He needs something with more impact. As for his look, I feel he just needs to tone up to be taken more seriously. His torso jiggles a lot and it does distract during his matches. If he tones up I think fans and the WWE would take him more seriously.

Yeah sounds like something the wwe would do. Waste money on a tour bus and vignettes and everything else only to give up on it right away. No wonder they have to fire production people and so on. Sorry Hank, we had to get a jet, spray painted to look like a walrus for this new guy we'll shove down people's throats and we'll just give up on him a week later. Cancell Christmas!!

The only positive to the Adam Rose gimmick was seeing Seleziya Sparx and Scarlett Bordeaux on my television.
