Karrion Kross has broken his silence on the recent fan chants in his name following his WWE exit. Kross thanked the fans for their support and sent a clear message to WWE.
Karrion Kross On The “We Want Kross” Chants
The video was a direct response to the loud “We Want Kross” chants that hijacked the opening segment of the August 15 episode of WWE SmackDown in Boston. Kross warned that ignoring such reactions is a mistake.
“[You] can’t ignore the crowd in this business. I mean, you can try it. It’s not going to be good in the end,” Kross said. “You don’t want to make your audience feel like they’re not a part of this… You can’t tell them that they’re a part of this and that they’re the universe and they’re so heavily involved in every aspect of it. And then, like on a whim, tell them, you know, certain subsections of them don’t matter. We can’t do that. That pisses people off. It turns people away.”
A Powerful R-Truth Conversation
Kross then shared a personal story about a conversation he had with R-Truth that gave him a new perspective on the fan support he has been receiving.
“I remember a conversation Truth had with me on a flight back from Saudi, and he pulled me aside… he said to me that I don’t think he would mind me sharing and I will never forget it. He said to me, ‘You know, you haven’t won any titles on main roster, but the one title that you have right now that you will have for the rest of your life as a moment in time is the title that the people gave you when they chose you.’ And that’s fucking real.”
The situation surrounding Kross’s departure has been a major story, with many fans still speculating that it could be a storyline. He has since insisted in interviews that his free agency is legitimate.
He and his wife, Scarlett, have announced a series of convention appearances for their “Killer Smokeshow: Carnage Tour,” with their first scheduled appearance on August 22 at the Mad Monster Expo in North Carolina. The full video from Karrion Kross can be seen on his official Instagram account.
