Killer Kross Says MLW Was One Of First Places To Contact Him After His WWE Release


Killer Kross recently spoke about a number of pro wrestling-related topics during an appearance at a virtual signing with Captain's Corner.

While at the appearance, the former NXT Champion known as Karrion Kross during his run in WWE spoke about MLW being one of the first promotions to contact him after his WWE departure.

Additionally, the highly-regarded wrestling star spoke about being in the process of writing a book on his life and career.

Featured below are some of the highlights from the interview where he touches on these topics with his thoughts.

On MLW being one of the first places to contact him after his WWE release: "I had nothing but a good time in my first… my first trip there to MLW and I made sure to stay in contact with them. They’d let me know if, you know, if I ever decided to leave or I was on the outs with them [WWE], that I’d always be welcomed back and they were one of the first people to contact me when the time was appropriate to return and yeah, I really like the backstage vibe there. Everybody gets along, everybody knows each other. There’s a nice mix of people with a lot of time in who have worked television and a lot of new guys coming up. So, it’s a great place to learn and it’s a great place to perform and entertain. They don’t suffocate the things you wanna create there. They’re not overly concerned with stuff like that. They give you a direction and they allow everyone to kind of paint the picture in the ring because there’s a certain level of trust between the office and the wrestlers and I think that actually produces the best show for the fans, when you operate from that kind of place."

On revealing that he is in the process of writing a book: "I had a P.O. box for a while and then, so I have a lot — well I have — look, I love my fans. Let me just say that. Without you guys, I would not be doing this. The hardest period of my career was doing this without fans in the building during a pandemic. It was just — I can’t summarize it or compress it. I’m writing a book right now, a lot of people don’t know that. I might — if I feel emotionally stable enough to discuss it, it was a super abysmal period while I was grateful for it. I’ll talk about it in my book but like, when I had that P.O. box, I had a lot of fans that are, you know, women and they started sending me their underwear and naked pictures and stuff like that so I was like — well, Scarlett [Bordeaux’s] cool and stuff. We’re super secure with each other but at the same time, it’s like I just — I know that’s meant well but… you know what I mean? [Kross laughed] You can’t be sending me naked pictures of yourself in your underwear. So I let it go."
