Karrion Kross is ready to take the ball and run with any opportunity WWE presents him with.
RAW Superstar Karrion Kross was a recent guest on Geeking Out with Matt Serra. When asked why pushes in WWE don’t happen or why some of the ones that do take longer than they should, Kross did his best to explain the current hierarchy of the company.
“I don’t know, and it’s such a dangerous question to answer, but I’ll try to,” Karrion Kross said. “This is what I will say. I don’t envy the position of creative or booking the show, because you have this company and it’s worth billions, right? And you have public shareholders, and you don’t want to hire anything less than the best of the best.
“So now you have a whole roster full of people that are incredible. I mean, some people, for a lack of better words, they get casted as background. Some people get casted as supporting actors, and then some people are the leads. Now, if you pay a lot of money out to the leads, those are going to be the people you’re really going to run with, and the rest of the cast and wrestling kind of supports the leads, right?
“There are some people that are in the supporting actor, background or just background, that could be great leads. But you kind of have an obligation. Once you’ve casted certain people’s leads in the show, you have to run with them. And maybe they’re just trying to get the most out of their leads right now, but I don’t f**king give up. That’s not my f**king thing.”
Kross made it clear that he would do his best to maximize every chance he got to prove that he could be the guy.
“So I’m going to stick it out,” he said. “And every single opportunity that I get I’m going to show them I could be that guy, because I can be, and a lot of the audience knows that. In terms of getting the opportunity to demonstrate that, I stay ready for it. I train for it, I eat for it, I don’t get complacent whatsoever.
“Any Monday that comes around, the way I look at it, Monday Night RAW tonight could be that night that changes the direction of your career, but you need to be ready for it. You know what I mean? You have six days at home, you can’t just be hanging out on the couch. Like you need to be ready. Things change very quickly. So that’s kind of just the way I approach it. I’m not in control of that process, you know what I mean? But I’m ready for it, and I’d like to think that they know that.”
