Killer Kross Feels There's Room For Him In AEW, Discusses His Decision To Control His Narrative

Killer Kross believes that he is a good fit for AEW or any professional wrestling company that is looking for a unique view on professional wrestling.

Following his rollercoaster run in WWE, Killer Kross is now a free agent in professional wrestling again. In the time since he's been in WWE, AEW has grown and proven itself to be a legitimate number two in the world of wrestling.

While speaking to CBS Sports' Shakiel Mahjouri, Killer Kross explained that he is not worried about whether or not there is any room for him in AEW because he believes that his value in wrestling comes from his unique perspective When approaching what can be done on pro wrestling TV and he believes that there are things that haven't been done and maybe will never be done that he can provide.

"For me, I feel like the fit would be just as identically good before I signed with WWE as it would be now because I am always looking to integrate and create things that are not present within the programming," Kross said. "I don't say that in a derogatory way. I just mean that typically how I approach things is: I look at what's on the show, I look at how everyone is introducing ideas and concepts into the program, and I go, 'What's something that I can do that no one else is doing.' I think that's the best way to improve a show. Every single person that is part of a show should be attempting to contribute something from their individual standpoint to improve the entire show. So, there are things that haven't been done yet or haven't been done at all or I don't think will be done that I can do. On that front, it looks very good to me."

One organization that fits Killer Kross’ vision of how to approach professional wrestling is EC3’s Control Your Narrative brand.

A recent social media post revealed that Kross was joining the growing group of professional wrestlers that wants to control their own story and now, he explains why he believes he is a good fit for the brand and how he feels the brand will continue to be a refreshing concept in the sometimes-stagnant world of professional wrestling.

"On that subject of people have varying opinions on the concept of The Narrative: I do very strongly believe that professional wrestling and sports entertainment, there's a huge difference, to enjoy these things it comes from a very subjective place," Kross said. "It comprises a lot of different things. I know some people just like their pro-wrestling to be sports-based and that's it; however, it is 2022 and there are thousands of programs produced by major companies and people who have been in the business for 30, 40 years that discuss behind-the-scenes. I think we're long past attempting to misdirect people about what it is that we're doing. That's not to say that we shouldn't protect certain aspects of what we're doing so that you can continue to enjoy it. Magicians don't just explain to you how they do all of their tricks, but you do have a general understanding of what you're getting into when you're watching it.

"I think that Control Your Narrative is going to continue to be a refreshing concept for people who really enjoy pro-wrestling. You're going to be able to see things within this that you're not going to be able to see in other formats that are dictated by third parties and sponsorships and endorsement and specific television pattern-programming that would not allow you to see this stuff. It's an alternative and people are always looking for alternatives once they've had enough of something. What I'm looking to contribute to it specifically will be another layer. I'm not interested in just jumping into this to participate. Like anything I'm involved with, I would like to add a new layer. Without spoiling the new ideas, we're going to take things to another level."
