Shane Thorne is the mastermind behind his own new "Crocodile Dundee" type gimmick.
The WWE Superstar took to social media following the debut of his new character in the dark match at the WWE Friday Night SmackDown taping last night, which saw him pick up a victory over Austin Theory in one-on-one competition.
Thorne credited Nikki A.S.H. for inspiring him to lean into his Australian roots with the new alter-ego.
He wrote the following:
“Just to let yous know what I’m trying now is all me and my ideas Cowboy hat face. A huge inspiration for me is @WWENikkiASH and you can’t deny that she is doing incredible! Wrestling can be fun! So relax mate and let’s have a good one.”
