Karrion Kross, the rising star of WWE, recently appeared on the Keeping It 100 podcast to discuss a variety of topics. One of the key areas he touched upon was the importance of storytelling in professional wrestling. Kross emphasized the significance of giving fans a reason to care about a match beyond just the outcome of a winner and loser.
In his own words, Kross stated, “I mean, I’ve always tried to tell a story of what I’m doing to give people a reason to really care just behind having a winner or loser. How imperative it is to have like a real reason, um, why these guys are in the ring, I think that’s — I overlooked that prior to getting into WWE because it wasn’t a necessity to have because a lot of the matches we could have on the independents were cold matches.”
Kross acknowledged that on the independent circuit, wrestlers often have cold matches where they face opponents they’ve just met. However, in WWE, the storytelling aspect becomes crucial. He emphasized the importance of understanding the opponent’s style and timing to create a cohesive and engaging narrative for the audience.
One match that stood out to Kross as an example of exceptional storytelling was the Bloodline Civil War match at Money in the Bank. Kross praised the match, saying, “That tag team match with The Bloodline, the Civil War, that was, in my opinion, one of the best matches I’ve ever seen in my life. I’m not just putting it over because I’m in the company, I just mean I felt like I was watching a movie.”
Kross’s comments highlight the significance of storytelling in professional wrestling. It goes beyond the physicality and athleticism in the ring; it is about creating a compelling narrative that captivates the audience and keeps them invested in the match.
