During a recent appearance on the “Insight with Chris Van Vliet” podcast, WWE Superstar Karrion Kross commented on his run in WWE NXT, Snoop Dogg commentating his match at WrestleMania 40, and more.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On Snoop Dogg commentating his match at WrestleMania 40: “[I found out] The day before at SmackDown [Snoop Dogg would be commentating my match]. I had a list of insane weapons that I wish got approved for that match. It was Philly, I was in love with ECW, [Paul] Heyman got inducted into the Hall of Fame. I had all kinds of crazy stuff. One of the weapons on the list was Al Snow’s Head. I would have loved to have hit Snoop Dogg right in the head with Head. That would have been my move. I would have done a flying tope out of the ring with Head flying at Snoop Dogg over the table to hit him. That would have been great.”
On if he has any plans to return to NXT: “Sometimes I do, but the truth of the matter with that is, in my opinion, NXT is a program where they’re attempting to build new stars. They want to create stars for the future. Somebody could encourage me to selfishly say yes and try to pander to an audience listening and make them feel like that’s something that they want. I know what it’s like being someone coming up trying to get at something you’re after, and it sucks when somebody comes in who’s already had their shot, who’s already been there, who was already basically given everything you could possibly want, undefeated with a championship, and you got the whole thing. It’s like they’re coming back in here, now that spot is unavailable for someone who really needs it to move into.”
On being proud of work in NXT: “I’m so grateful and so proud of my work at NXT, but for the sake of everybody else down there, I don’t think I should be down there doing it. If I were to come back for a match that people would want to see like a one off, some sort of program that would be fun to watch, that’s different. But to go back down there and chainsaw through everybody, that’s not going to help them. It would help me and people would love it. I’d make sure they love it. There’d be a body count. There’d be bodies everywhere. There’d be people flying down the stairs. But for the functionality of the program, there’s new people coming up, and the business needs those people. They’re learning and they’ve got all the best minds down there.”
