Killer Kross Comments On Controversy Surrounding WWE Departure

WWE

Killer Kross, formerly Karrion Kross, has commented on his controversial WWE departure in a new documentary on his YouTube channel.

Today, Kross premiered his own documentary titled ‘My Life After WWE.’

In the video, he spoke about his departure and addressed the question of whether it’s a work, which was a big topic of discussion when his exit first came to light.

He said:

“Is this all a big work? Is that what you’re asking me? Is this a work? Is this a big, elaborate, intricate work? Where I come back and I say, ‘Surprise!’

“The answer to that question is – in a sense, yes. This was all one big work.

“The worst part about it though, is that it’s not the work everybody thought it was.

“Because I was the one getting worked.”

He was later asked whether he felt like a “puppet” in WWE. He replied:

“I never really let anyone make me feel like I was a puppet, per se. Because you know when you’re getting involved at the highest level that you’re definitely not gonna be writing the show. You’re definitely not gonna be booking the matches.

“You’ll have very little say over what’s going on, and when you do have any sort of say over what you’re doing and what’s going on, it’s quite a privilege. It’s something to be earned. Trust is a very big thing, loyalty’s a very big thing. More on that later.

“I always made sure that I had at least one hand on the wheel, whether they realized it or not. I think to some degree everyone does that.

“It’s not in a manipulative way, it’s just in a way where it’s like, I’ve been in the situation where I’ve let my hands off the wheel and somebody drove the car off a cliff. So we’re not doing that again.

Later in the video, Kross said WWE told him his book, which the company was getting a cut of the profits from, was irrelevant to discussions over how much he was worth. He said:

“When you tell that kid that his story doesn’t matter and you’re taking money from him, and you’re telling him that subject is irrelevant to the conversation, there’s no deal to be made, there’s nothing to agree to. So they said they would rescind their offer in 24 hours.

“My story, my life story, is not irrelevant.”
