Shane Thorne obviously knew that his new gimmick would get some buzz. He tweeted out an animated gif of Paul Hogan’s famous Croc influenced character along with a caption saying: “Suuuuuure Croc Dundee isn’t cool” along with a thumbs up emoji.

Then Thorne posted another animated gif of Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin to his Twitter. That post included a caption of: “Tell me more about how Steve wasn’t one of the most badass people on the planet.”

Obviously, Shane Thorne doesn’t have a problem with this new gimmick from WWE. Some fans rolled their eyes at the character change, but Shane Thorne is going to give it everything he has.
