He was recently interviewed at Starrcast II and spoke about several things, including how he tries to present his characters for different audiences. WrestleZone.com carried transcripts of his comments from the interview.
In case you missed it . . .
At first, Kross debuted with Impact Wrestling by attacking a range of people from Joseph Park to Jimmy Jacobs to Petey Williams.
He was soon thrust into main-event programs featuring Austin Aries, Moose and Johnny Impact. Kross has also feuded with Eddie Edwards and Brian Cage.
The heart of the matter
Kross certainly has an interesting character that blends both nihilistic and anarchistic elements to both his character and promos.
Since that character might need to be toned down for younger audiences, he spoke about how he accomplishes doing just that when needed.
There are numerous unique promotions around the United States and the world, like the family-based Chikara promotion. On the other end of the spectrum are hardcore promotions like Combat Zone Wrestling and Game Changer Wrestling.
If he worked for the hardcore promotions, then it would be more likely that his character would be edgier and more dangerous. Working for WWE or another PG-related product would likely call for his character to be toned down.
What’s next?
Kross is certainly a unique Superstar in today’s business. He’d fit in anywhere from All Elite Wrestling to WWE to New Japan Wrestling. How long he’ll stay with Impact is up in the air.
