I thought the hacker thing was going to be like a Watch Dogs approach and I thought it could have been pretty interesting. Whatever though, if HHH didn't get it then keep it moving. I just want to see the guy perform.

I'm starting to not understand why all of the talent (besides a select few) need to have an over the top gimmick, or catchphrase.
Look at Punk and Bryan. Both guys' gimmicks were being wrestlers. Later on, they took on gimmicks/catchphrases.

He could always do the hacker gimmick later, wonder what his new gimmick will be.

I'll say this... seeing his leaked promo from the presentation class, the hacker thing just didn't have the same awesome feel that it did in his debut. He looked flat out EVIL when he was standing in the ring, but I didn't get that from the leaked promo class video.

Dude is very talented, amazing it's been a year since he's been there and it's like he has to start from scratch again.

Man I wish they'd hurry up and give him something to do. They're over thinking this a bit. Not everyone needs a "gimmick". If you're gonna do anything with him, build him up as a Taz-esque guy in the sense that he's a short guy with a short fuse that can, and will, beat the sh*t out of you regardless of your size.

Strange but NXT is so awesome I trust triple h with this. Never seen Crowe in action so a bit disappointing it sounds like maybe they delay his debut for something better but still looking forward to his debut. Take everything H says with a grain of salt. He said NXT is the future and since that almost no one good has come up besides the Wyatt's. And he said Barrett would be a star and future world champ. The Shield, Antonio Cesaro, Big E Langston, The Wyatt Family (and the stuff Bray did in FCW and NXT trumps most of the WWE stuff besides the Cena program), Bo Dallas, Paige, Adam Rose.. Adrian Neville & Sami Zayn are waiting in the wings, and Kevin Steen, KENTA, and Prince Devitt are on deck. I can't stand WWE but don't miss NXT, because it's the s**t.

The Shield are the only people that are a success out of that. Big E is a joke and has never got a reaction to save his life, Wyatt's never win a match anymore and especially after getting stomped by Golden Boy last week, Dallas will be a jobber in the next 2 months, Paige is a highlight of the Diva's I'll give you that, and Adam Rose was a joke from his first vignette. Neville needs to improve his mic skills and Sami needs to get something else besides generic nice guy aka Daniel Bryan V2. I'm excited for Devitt and Steen but KENTA not so much.

Watch his matches with Finlay and Ambrose/Moxley.

I've seen his matches. I'm not unfamiliar with Sami's work at all.
A mainstream wrestling fan isn't going to buy someone the size of Sami (now) as a wrecking machine. Plus, that's Bull's gimmick right now.

Bad News For "Sami"... WWE NXT STAR INJURED - By Mike Johnson - PWInsider.com WWE NXT star Solomon Crowe (the former Sami Callihan) was injured last night at a NXT event in Florida, suffering what he described as a "chip in my tibia" on Twitter. According to one report we received, Crowe and Kalisto were wrestling NXT Tag Team champions The Ascension when Crowe performed a head scissors takedown and injured his leg. The match was stopped and Crowe was taken to a hospital locally for testing. Crowe joked the injury was "such a great birthday present" on Twitter. There's no word on how long he'll be out of action as of this writing. www.pwinsider.com/article/87947/wwe-nxt-star-injured.html?p=1Solomon Crowe Reveals Leg Injury From Last Night - Marc Middleton - ProWrestlingInc.com WWE NXT star Solomon Crowe suffered an injury at last night's NXT live event in Palatka, Florida.

Crowe will most likely be released after his deal is up. They have nothing for him and now he's injured? They'll look elsewhere.

At least it was a good chance for him to get in better shape, hope he takes something positive from it if he does get released. Plus he's still young.

The hacker gimmick would've been a great way to debut him on TV. Oh well hopefully he does debut on TV soon, he was trending on Twitter for about 2 hours last Friday and you WWE loves a good Twitter trend. I think you are hinting they would have done like a cryptic promo? I think those are way outplayed and we have Jericho's returns to thank for that. Wouldn't really need cryptic promos at all. Just have him be a hacker. With everything being so technological these days, it would have been a perfect gimmick. Instead he will be probably become generic guy who dances or something else dumb.
