Former RETRIBUTION Member Defends His New Gimmick

When RETRIBUTION first debuted on WWE programming it seemed that the group was set for a big push, but the stable wasn’t exactly well received be fans. Shane Thorne was known as Slapjack when he was working with RETRIBUTION, but recently the WWE star debuted a new gimmick that seems to be inspired by Crocodile Dundee and Steve Irwin.

The gimmick has yet to debut on TV, but Thorne has been a hot topic on social media after he competed in a dark match before SmackDown on Friday. Recently Shane Thorne defended his new gimmick and he also revealed that Nikki A.S.H. was a big inspiration for him when he posted the following:

“Just to let yous know what I’m trying now is all me and my ideas 🤠 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 👍”

A video clip from Shane Thorne’s entrance on Friday night can be seen below.
