Karrion Kross admits to using the rumors about him to troll the WWE Universe.
Speaking to Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp, former WWE Superstar Karrion Kross opened up about the online rumors that claimed he refused to take back bumps in the ring. He noted that he figured it was just general trolling and recalled using it to turn things around and troll the fans.
“Yeah, I figured it was just general trolling. I took on an aspect of the character to troll people, because I knew that it would garner traction from the audience and people on social media who like to troll, and it did. Karrion Kross became a bit of a troll in the last year and a half with the backstage vignettes, and you know, he’s gaslighting with Truth and Miz when they utilize the character to split them up.
“I just figured it was trolling. I didn’t think that anyone actually believed it. I think it’s like a bunch of people getting online and being like, ‘The sky is not just blue, it’s also blue and white with the clouds, and at dusk it changes color.’ Like, they just want to argue that the sky is not blue,'” Karrion Kross said.
Karrion Kross Had A Sarcastic Response To The Rumors
Speaking further, Karrion Kross sarcastically dismissed the claims, saying his decision not to take bumps was the reason behind WWE putting him on big PLEs like Crown Jewel and SummerSlam.
“‘Dude, teach us. How did you get on Crown Jewel, Saudi Arabia, SummerSlam? Was it just not bumping? Like, you bumped for the first year and a half of your career. You just decided in the last year and a half on this last contract that you weren’t gonna bump. Is that how you got on the PLEs?’ And I said, ‘Yes, you just need to do what I do. Never show up on the show, stand 50 feet away from the camera in the background, have no lines, don’t bump, and they’ll put you on the PLEs. Trust me,'” Karrion Kross said.
