DDP Names WWE Star Who Deserves An Opportunity To Become Main Event Level

WWE Hall of Famer DDP has named the current star he be believes deserves an opportunity to reach the main event level.

As a three-time WCW World Heavyweight Champion, Diamond Dallas Page believes Karrion Kross has what it takes to get to the next level if he’s given the opportunity to do so.

DDP has high praise for Kross, who has experienced a groundswell of support recently following a post-WrestleMania promo in which he seemingly blurred the lines between reality and fiction, airing grievances about how WWE has utilized him.

In an interview with CasinoBeats.com, when asked what WWE needs to do to help Kross reach the next level, DDP replied:

“Opportunity. The damn opportunity and just let him be himself because the cat’s real, you know, and he can work his ass off. It’s not like he’s some big guy who doesn’t know how to kick and doesn’t know how to throw a punch or doesn’t know how to work. He just does all of it at its highest level.

“That interview that he did that lit s**t up and I’m hoping something comes out of that for him. It was like LA Knight. Same thing. Both of those guys, they’re 20 years in each. They’ve been doing this a long time and it’s easy to build some strong promos.

“If you go back and look at me when I wanted to work with Benoit and Raven, and the reason why I wanted to work with both those guys was to bring them up because man, both of those cats were great. You’ll see me in the crowd cutting a promo. They say, I’d never be a top guy. They said I’d never be a main eventer. They were wrong.

“I was talking to the booking committee. You just take where that real energy comes from and just push it somewhere else. You didn’t know I was talking to the booking committee at the time.

“I did. So that’s why it was real to me. And that’s what you do as an actor. Being a wrestler should be called an artist more than anything because we’re taking you into a world that no other entertainer can do, meaning actor.

“Sure you might be able to go to the same play every night and hit the same marks with the same intensity, not change it all up and become a different character tomorrow night. And then a different character tomorrow. And let them see how good you are.”

It appears progress is being made, as starting with this coming Monday’s Raw, Karrion Kross merch will be available to purchase at the arena, the first time that’s happened since his days in NXT several years ago.
