Former WWE NXT Champion Karrion Kross has grow to be an everyday presence on “WWE Raw,” since cutting a scathing promo on his usage following WrestleMania 41. On “Busted Open Radio,” Kross explained that he was profiting from the opportunities WWE television affords him.
“Now we have a chance, each Monday. It’s a chance that everyone seems to be attempting to get, which is airtime,” Kross said. “Everybody wants as much time as they possibly can have. It doesn’t all the time work out that way.”
Kross chuckles that even the most-used WWE Superstars still feel short-changed.
“I might,” Kross said. “So what do you do to make up for that?…You gotta think outside the box. Now we have a whole platform of social media…It’s an ideal place to go and proceed to create your connection through the week…You might have each other day through the week to make the reference to the audience,” Kross explained. “You are kinda like priming the audience until the subsequent [WWE Raw].”
The previous TNA star didn’t think he took nearly as good of a bonus of social media as he could, and worked to rectify it when he realized the simplicty of the medium.
“It’s right there, why not?” Kross asked. “Why not dive back into [social media.]”
Kross also stopped calling out wrestlers, like he infamously did at Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport, or starting stories that he couldn’t finish along with his time on television. As an alternative opting to deliver “thought pieces” that he believes further develop his character between story beats.
“I do not think I might give you the option to be here in the way in which individuals are seeing me without the pliability to try this,” Kross said.
