Karrion Kross was bald during his first WWE run, but now he has a full head of hair. What would it take for him to revert to his old look?
RAW Superstar Karrion Kross was a recent guest on TSC Wrestling with Fred Richani. When asked if the plan was to eventually grow his hair back to the point it is now, Kross said he initially grew his hair back out for a movie role but decided to keep it after things didn’t pan out.
“I initially shaved my head because I thought it suited the presentation of the character on the independents,” Karrion Kross said. “I have buzzed my head a couple of times growing up for sports combat purposes. To have a lot of hair when you’re doing jiu-jitsu and you’re always sweating and you’re doing boxing, it’s kind of a pain in the butt.
“Especially, constantly having to put product in it. If you start sweating, it’s all over your face. I decided to let my hair grow out after I was released from WWE because I was contacted by another writer and producer who wanted me to do a film, and the way he wanted the character presented was like an ex-military guy and kind of on his last leg in New Mexico. He may still produce the film, and hopefully, he gives me a shout for it because I did get the role.
“The plan was to grow the hair out for the character. Then I got re-signed to WWE and I just decided to keep the hair. It wasn’t for a while until we realized he had to jump to another project and there was a holdup on producing the film, which happens all the time, it’s very common.”
What would it take to shave his head again?
Kross would go on to state that he’d be open to shaving his hair off again. However, there would need to be a strong story for it or something involving charity.
“I kept the hair and I would be open to shaving it for going back to (the bald or buzzed) look, but there would need to be a strong story for it,” Karrion Kross continued. “The only other case I would ever shave it would be to donate it to a charity, which I was talking to. I made a donation to them. But I was going to donate my hair to some kids that were suffering from hair loss. If I still decide to do that, I may as well let it get as long as possible.”
When asked if a hair versus hair match would qualify as a “strong story,” Kross didn’t sound too keen on that idea.
“I would really prefer not to do that [laughs]. Seems like such a waste.” [H/T: Fightful]
Kross is scheduled to face AJ Styles next week on WWE RAW.
