Wrestler's Frustration with Industry Politics
Feels so good to be in the business, thinking about all of 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, could have just
jumped in there with AJ Styles. Feels really good, right? It's awesome.
It's really good.
Do you guys know we have 25 years combined experience, and what are we doing on
Mania?
Well, they know because they're normal human
beings, but, and they actually love
professional wrestling, but apparently that doesn't mean shit
anymore.
That doesn't mean shit. All I asked, all I asked Alan to do
was, for once, to not think about just 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 do it his way.
Hey, Alan, how many more WrestleManias do you have in
your system?
Probably, I don't know, one? Maybe this is the last one, and you just pissed that
away. For what?
For what? For your way? Thanks a lot, bud.
I really appreciate it. You wanna know what the best advice I
ever got? It was, 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 know what?
You remind me a lot of me." I go, "I think we have different styles, Bill,
but I
really appreciate that. Do you have any advice for me?" He goes,
"You know what?
You just gotta be 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 so, in case you're wondering.
You want, you want the back, the back scoop here.
Being a good soldier gets your times cut.
Being a good soldier
means that people come up to you and say, "Hey, you got any great ideas?" "Yeah,
here it is from Scarlett." "No, no, no. That's a little too great.
We're looking just for good ideas.
That's for those guys over there." That's what being a good soldier is, okay?
Being a good soldier is coming to your hometown where you cut
your teeth and where
you got started, and not being on the card.
It's 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. 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 of the true fans of professional wrestling,
guy with the suit and tie in the truck, go fuck yourself.
That's from Killer Kross. No, fuck it.
They leak my fucking contract information online. I have no privacy, nothing.
