As we all know Wade Barrett has sorta stolen Kassius Ohno's finisher, and last week on NXT Kassius defeated a jobber with a Cravat submission. He did his KO Elbow but he didn't end the match with it. Is this a sign that he's gonna drop his KO finisher since Wade is using it now? I wouldn't be asking this if he just did it once but he made the guy tap twice to that Cravat hold, which got me thinking he might be changing his finisher to that.
I really hope they don't get rid his KO gimmick, thats what he's had his entire career almost and he's very good with it. He's been building up his KO power for months now in FCW and NXT and it was getting really good. Besides his KO Elbow looks way more devastating than how Barrett does it.

Would be nice if the WWE had these two start a twitter war with one another over it. Kassius is in NXT, and we all know Wade Barrett has a history with NXT from the past. Granted it's not the same show, but I don't think casuals would care. Wade should head down, and do a couple of taped shows with Ohno.
I think a feud between the two men would be nice to see as both are solid on the mic. Granted Kassius is a nobody in terms of his relevancy to most WWE casuals, but I think it would be something to experiment with.
Or they could just debut Ohno as a partner for Barrett, in that way they can both keep their finishers. This doesn't mean they're stuck to the tag team division, they would just help each other win.
Oh god i just watched the recent episode of NXT this week, and it does indeed look like he's changing his finisher to that Cravat hold. Little by little he's starting ditch his knock out gimmick and becoming just a dangerous guy that hurts people. I knew it since Barrett had to go and steal his KO gimmick that they would force Ohno to change his gimmick up. Which pisses me off since Barrett's Elbow looks so damn week, Ohno does it a million times better.
Notice how this week there was no emphasis on his KO Elbow. He nailed Richie with it and they didn't even talk about it, he went right into that Cravat Hold after and Richie was still conscious apparently, even though his Elbow's usually knock people out.
I just don't think thats right. A guy has a gimmick his whole career and stays in development for months with it, and just when he's nearly on TV Barrett returns and takes his gimmick away from him forcing him to get another one. Hero's had his KO Elbow his whole career thats his thing he throws elbows, but now he has to ditch it just because Barrett returned.
