‘Go F**k Yourself’ – WWE Star Vents Frustration After Not Being Booked At WrestleMania 41

WWE

A WWE star has vented their frustration in an expletive filled promo after not being booked in a match at WrestleMania 41.

Despite this year’s Show of Shows taking place in his own backyard of Las Vegas, NV, WWE Raw star Karrion Kross couldn’t find a way onto the card for either night of WrestleMania 41.

Despite not competing at the event, Kross would appear during the closing stages of AJ Styles vs. Logan Paul in an attempt to get The Phenomenal One to use brass knuckles against Paul, however, Styles rejected the offer and lost the match shortly thereafter.

Speaking to Sam Roberts and Megan Morant after the match, Kross lamented Styles’ actions, as well as the ease in which Paul managed to get on the WrestleMania 41 card while he was overlooked.

Kross said:

“Let’s talk about how awesome it is that Logan Paul just won and let’s talk about Sam, let’s talk about what Logan Paul represents. The short cut, it feels so good to be here, it feels so good to be in the business, thinking about all the funerals that I wasn’t able to attend for the last 11 years in this business, all the holidays I missed.

“You know I could have just started a YouTube channel and could have just jumped in there with AJ Styles, it feels really good right? It’s awesome. It’s really good.”

Kross’ wife Scarlett then questioned their absence from WrestleMania, saying:

“You know we have 25 years combined experience and what are we doing on Mania?”

Kross continued:

“They know because they’re normal human beings and they actually love professional wrestling but apparently that doesn’t mean s**t anymore, it doesn’t mean shit. All I asked, all I asked Alan to do for once, was to not just think about himself.

“Think about everybody in the back and think about the professional wrestling fans, that’s all I wanted him to do. Sometimes to do the right thing you have to do the wrong thing, but he’s a narcissist and he had to things his way. Hey Alan how many more WrestleManias do you have in your system? Probably one? Maybe this is the last one and you just pissed it away for what? For your way? Thanks a lot bud, I really appreciate it.”

Kross then recounted being told to be a “good soldier” by Bill Goldberg prior to his WWE release in 2021, expressing frustration at how doing exactly that has led to his lack of success in the company up until this point.

“You wanna know what the best advice I ever got, it was from Bill Goldberg. 2021 back when I was in the twilight zone you know what I mean? ‘I’m wrestling for gasoline’. It was awesome let me tell you all about it, Bill goes ‘Hey Kross, you what you remind me a lot of me.’ I go ‘I think we have different styles but I really appreciate that, do you have any advice for me?’ And he goes ‘You know what, you gotta just be a good soldier.’ A good soldier, a good soldier is what he said.

“So I decided to be a good soldier, you know what happened? They released me. And then I come back, you know what being a good soldier gets you? Everybody here, just in case you’re wondering, being a good soldier gets your times cut. Being a good soldier means that people come up to you and go ‘Hey got any great ideas?’ Yeah here it is from Scarlett, no, no, no, that’s a little too great, we’re looking for good ideas, that’s for those guys over there.’

“That’s what being a good soldier is, ok? Being a good solider is coming to your hometown where you cut your teeth and not being on the card, its all about viral moments now. That’s what it’s all about, viral moments. Well guy, everybody’s been telling me that I gotta become undeniable, and as soon as it happens they ignore it and they shut it down.

“I never asked to wrestle Randy Orton, I never asked. That happened organically and you ignored it for a viral moment, and good on Joe. Nothing against him but you ignored it. And the crowd told you exactly how they felt about me on SmackDown when I was eliminated and you ignored it.

“Become undeniable? My ass. My ass. You want a viral moment? On behalf of all the true fans of professional wrestling, guy with the suit and tie in the truck go f**k yourself. That’s from Killer Kross.”
