I was against Rose joining at first, but Rose coming out now, sacrificing himself to a Wyatt beat-down and then being programmed by Wyatt to unleash the darkness inside him -- a darkness that might even surpass Wyatt's own -- is more interesting than them nerding Rose up. That being said, I haven't seen the new gimmick, so Rose might hit it out of the park. He's certainly a good performer when it comes to making these things work.
The problem with Rose's ESPN special momentum was that all the feel-goods from it had to then be channeled into a character played by the man, but isn't really representative of what they got behind. The Adam Rose gimmick is basically a Dionysian philanderer. How do you segue that into "Father of the Year?"
Typing that out, Titus O'Neil vs. Adam Rose -- Battle of the Mega-Dads -- could be a great early match on a PPV somewhere.
