Great interview as always. God bless you CVV and Karrion, praying for you and yours.

[@gr8powerfuloz86]

When u do the short, have at the start “each time Kross says “Down the Stairs, have a shot.”

[@GryHen-pg9iy]

I just looked on KZbin, it says karrion Kross interview, then wwe then Jesse Ventura, so it's now no.3 buddy.

[@GryHen-pg9iy]

Lmao, Chris let's do our interview in Niagra falls lol

[@thejandjchannel5016]

Karrion is definitely in my top 5 favorites . Dude is vastly underrated

[@AcesPlace22]

You mean overrated

[@violentbryan21]

Hes a one hit wonder

[@robertcallahan760]

Legitimately phenomenal on the mic, great worker, looks the part, he has all of it. I really want him to blow up and be a top guy.

[@camm2xx]

​@violentbryan21 It's funny no one was saying this when he was on NXT what happened?

[@Papellxhase]

@@AcesPlace22how’s he overrated? He hasn’t been given a valuable chance to do anything yet. His peak (like a lot of guys we thought were gonna be on top) is nxt. He so happens to fall in to that category of successful main eventers of nxt to be booked horribly on the main roster it’s not his fault

[@b_wood_nhtbr7046]

The work this man has done to rehabilitate and retune his character is greatly appreciated, I went from thinking dude is overrated to underused. He's the perfect kind of heel for Cody to work rn imo

[@GlobalEnigma64]

Thank you! I’ve been saying for a while now. Cody vs Kross would definitely work

[@romelmunoz7957]

Better heel to receive the krossrhodes 👍

[@b_wood_nhtbr7046]

@@GlobalEnigma64 Facts! I can just imagine him cutting promos hinting at a potential heel turn for Cody. If done right that feud could move mountains

[@dhornjr1]

This guy is a talented, likable guy. I can't understand how he's not more over.

[@xavierzumba7614]

His stale in the ring but I think he just needs a good character.

[@eddie0019]

Because he doesn't connect with the crowd. We've seen this countless times with other wrestlers in the past. Not everyone is gifted or talented enough to win over the audience. But because he's such a likeable guy, some people will make a big deal out of it and say how he's this great talent that deserves a higher spot in the card. He's just an ok worker, nothing more to it. I'm glad he's doing what he loves.

[@Little88Mac]

He lacks charisma. Crowd just doesn't care. He needs to find the It factor because the only memorable thing about him is Scarlet

[@studiotsunami3446]

He will be give it time! Kross is still young!

[@DomGeez12357]

He needs to go bald crazy man again, he’s in a faction of 2 other powerhouses I can’t understand why they don’t just destroy the roster, we all seen how going on a rampage does people quite good on RAW as Adam cant control his show lol.

[@tmfquinn6752]

1:08:29 Its great hearing Kross express what a lot of us are feeling. CVV's content is something I look forward to sprinkling in between the chaos of daily life.

[@AJMashUps2863]

The Final Testament says if You Cross Paths With Kross, You're getting Crossed:- McIntyre: Turned Heel, literally got screwed in his homecountry Gulak: Released Moss/Emma: Released Rey: Betrayed by Santos, Carlito Styles: Turned Heel Nakamura: Turned Heel, disappeared Lashley: Released Odyssey Jones: WHOOOO?? The New Day: About to break up The Miz: Turned Heel The list will continue as the Testament says so ❤️❤️

[@Papellxhase]

Hopefully he brings this up in some of his promos( if he’s ever given the chance to have a lengthy promo) . He needs to keep people updated on the list he’s created to where he made people’s life a living hell. Hey this going & get the fans aboard of what your character is.

[@azrael557]

​@@Papellxhase Part of the problem is he wouldn't be able to mention Gulak, Emma, Nakamura, Lashley, or Odyssey because they were released or fired.

[@christophermccray6528]

He's basically Bray Wyatt's hurt glove

[@christopherdotson542]

With Rey Mysterio he also got him willing to fight his son before Rey Mysterio faced Karrion Kross he refused to fight Domminik Mysterio but afterwards he wanted to kick his ass

[@devastatorsarmy6611]

Kross vs Lesnar one day everybody like this comment for me I would love to see Kross cross paths with Lesnar In the near future they could do well one day now if you are wondering who wins out of the 2 it Is hands down Lesnar

[@blackws12]

Why do i want a Karrion Kross t-shirt that has him smiling while saying Down the Stairs.

[@Miles13601]

Same

[@IAmImprintJones]

It's interviews like this from CVV that makes wrestling special seeing how legitimately wonderful of a human being Kross is and you ACTUALLY hope he gets a world title run.

[@Johnkiernanmusic]

I’m a simple man. I see CVV and Karrion Kross, I click.

[@yallbeblessed]

Agreed

[@nothinghere1142]

[@VSP631]

[@tmfquinn6752]

Its nice having him back on so soon.

[@ThatGuy-vi8ch]

I'm a simple man. I see simple comment, I press thumbs down 🎉

[@JustinTafoya801]

I cannot express how much Kross should bring himself into his character. I haven’t been drawn to any stories he’s been in, but leaving these interviews I love him. I honestly believe being himself is what’s missing on screen.

[@jayywolf99]

Karrion kross honestly is my favorite wrestler and its drives me crazy that he isn’t getting the push in the main event scene he’s literally so good

[@ummacnai]

29:00 "They're being buried!""They're being pushed!" "You keep using those words - I don't think they mean what you think they mean.... "

[@PhillyMadeGeo]

Kross could be a top star. Don’t understand what people don’t like about him.

[@kittyclaire]

Its mostly his ass booking, which isnt entirely on him

[@SanchoWest]

I prayed for this.

Love Kross, he seems so cool in interviews but it hasn't seemed to click for him on TV yet. Fingers crossed he gets there eventually

[@KamoMustafaWWE]

I've been a fan of Kross since TNA. I just want the best for him on the main roster.

[@kranbo511]

I've loved every interview/segment with Kross and this is no different. It's genuinely a pleasure to hear someone who's so passionate about the business giving details of the inner workings of stories, characters, and the reasoning behind the fluidity of those pieces and how that's really "wrestling" at it's core. Great listen!

[@KipataSensei]

hands down one of the most underated talents in WWE !

[@CaerEsthar]

He is always so much more charismatic in interviews than he is on TV. Couldn’t be more night and day.

[@YaMuthasOnion]

Love your episodes together, Chris.You guys have a very fun and natural dynamic; like buddies just catching up

[@stevenhicks6751]

Karrion Kross is legit the most underrated underutilized talent in the WWE right now. Wish they'd bring back the character he was in NXT. Have him run through the roster.

[@unstablebrother]

KEEP his hair tho (which he likes it grown out) he's nice looking with it while still looking intimedating

[@CHRISPYakaKON]

Him and Shinsuke 🔥🔥

[@MatthewJalazo]

This is the epitome of why I love Karrion Kross. Find me another wrestler who is so creative, authentic, humble, and thought-provoking. Continued success.

[@peterarvanitis6497]

Definitely humble and creative I like that a lot guy is definitely into what he’s doing

[@monymiller4005]

You do some of the best interviews ever. People get time to talk without interruption and your question have thought in them. Love it!

[@ChrisVanVliet]

I appreciate that!

[@trepan4944]

Karrion doesn't get the screen time or recognition he so rightly deserves. He's just so consistent on the mic, in backstage segments, in the ring.

[@iramosjr.787]

You damn right!!

[@otfgator3836]

Man this Wyatt vs final testament program is gonna be fire

[@brayds1989]

Killer is just the realest dude in the room, love how he processes his critical thinking and gives the most genuine answers. Definitely a lad you could have a beer with ! Another great episode CVV 💯

[@leedgHDG]

I hope the fans realise that this man is insanely talented and very underrated at times, I hope he does get a bigger push title wise.

[@Cloud121D]

My god do I love it when current wrestlers mention WCW. As a lifelong WCW fanatic, and who still lives, breathes, and bleeds for WCW, it always makes my day. WCW will never die. WCW for life, and WCW forever!! Edit: I looked him up, and he is only a year older than me, so him watching Nitro makes sense. Regardless, still makes my day seeing a modern wrestler talk about WCW.

[@jamestaitano252]

I love the fact that CVV lets his guests freely talk and doesn't always interject. That takes talent to know when to listen and when to interact.

[@glorbog]

Karrion really is one of your best guests. The way he talks and explains things doesn't seem so calculated and robotic... I love it

[@PACOTACOFOO]

Such amazing interview Chris thank you for finally getting kross 🔥

[@JC0288]

Kross always seems like such a real dude. Ive always enjoyed his in ring work and promos since NXT. Im hoping eventually he gets the right storyline going.

[@L.m.CeeTee]

He’s playing such a good character. I would love to see Kross vs LA Knight.

[@TheSubZero187]

The more I see Karrion Kross like this the more I become a fan. Hopefully he gets his break and becomes bigger

[@ianvlnva]

Karrion NEEDS to step into a creative and producer role in the future. He absolutely gets and is so intelligent with the psychology

[@jjoseph4695]

This was a terrific conversation that could have been 3 hours long, it spanned so many topics not just wrestling. This shows the depth of the man he is, love seeing this insight of who they actually are as a person.

[@adamk.2336]

I never realized how clever Kross is. I think he might be my new favorite wrestler of the modern era.

[@c.s3369]

A badass,lunatic,philosopher and great wrestler. This man will blow up soon enough. We believe in karion ✝️❎️🙏🏾

[@kimberlyhall7610]

He sure will and I can’t wait! The feud with the final testament and Wyatt 6 will send him and Uncle Howdy into the stratosphere!

[@NottyGurlStyle]

Top notch interview! I love these kinds of interviews where I got to know more about a wrestler I never knew much about before. Kross insight on life and being open about life experiences definitely makes me connect to him more. I love to hear him talk and with this conversation could have continued longer. Seeing this shows he has a lot to offer and I hope is used more and pushed into a bigger spotlight in WWE

[@RybackStun]

I've always liked Kross ever since LU, but he seems like such a genuine dude. He didn't deserve the way he was treated before and I am glad that he is flourishing now with his family. Great interview can't wait for the next one :D

[@fogkapitany414]

Im waiting for this man to get over with the crowd! Imo Karrion is extremely underrated. Want to see him more!

[@sergioguerrero5473]

Great interview. He's doing great now and I wish him more the best. He's one of my favorite wrestlers.

[@AgainstTheBladeOfHonour]

36:26 - Like this for Karrion Kross throwing people calling wrestling fake down the stairs button. ☝🏻

[@Ulysses1991]

A natural face outside of wrestling.

[@TheAshyNY]

what more needs to be said about CVV or Karrion. Absolute gems of individuals. Great interview!! Keep up the great work!

[@randystiles7886]

Karrion Kross is my favorite WWE star!! Thank you!!

[@MS32816]

Wildly underrated and your interviews with him show how interesting of a guy he is. His job before wrestling that he spoke about here now makes his current character make WAYYY more sense. He deserves more screen time and need to figure out how to line up his in ring work with the promo work. Big fan

[@steph9950]

I love karrion kross i am gonna have a tattoo of him next year in spain in August i can't wait

[@billyrouse4813]

I actually tweeted Karrion Kross and asked him if the similarities between his promos and Jake “The Snake” Roberts were intentional. He actually replied to me and said “It’s not a coincidence. 🐍 I was awed that he responded.

[@kriskhaos6025]

He’s so impressive!! He’s was doing indies before WWE and I’ve heard the “lock the doors and whoop your …. Twice! I may have it recorded. During the pandemic, he and Scarlett did Twitch and was so encouraging. Best villain around!

[@Cornyboa]

While I liked his nxt character way more , I will admit his main roster character is way more layered and a good slow burner imo

[@lockingdiff]

1:30 I believe this was when he asked if he and Hogan would ever make amends or speak again. Something to that effect?

[@AaronDavis057]

I'm pulling for him. Seems like a good dude and i honestly think if given the chance he could be a killer. He could really be a mixture of Jake Robert's and randy orton

[@CriticalThinking1776]

Karrion Kross is such a down to earth dude, very likable.

[@ummacnai]

Kross is such a fascinating guy, so open and reflective. He knows when to keep his mouth shut, but you know he's always trying to be really honest. The conversation about "these are the guys I was thinking about bringing in - but I don't think it's a good idea to talk about now". That's so smart, but still upfront about what's going on.

[@georgechristianjr]

Didnt know about Kross till NXT. Been a fan ever since ❤

[@adrirajdatta8119]

Excited to see Uncle Howdy vs karrion Kross

[@Pierrepaule]

I think Karrion Kross doesn’t have the career he deserves to have right now honestly.

[@bobbydrake2486]

Totally agree

[@MarcYanruw]

​@@bobbydrake2486but he's been given so many chances. He just have no affect on the majority

[@Rychleji]

​@@MarcYanruw all the chances were push-stop. It almost looks like someone gets excited about the direction and then just forgets. You could have something akin to ministry of darkness, we have dark jobbers instead

[@MarcYanruw]

@@Rychleji cause he gets no reaction. I wanted to like him but he does nothing memorable

[@Robermetal]

​@@Rychlejii agree kross has it all to make it a fighting machine of a man intimadating good promos brutal in the ring he has it to make it

[@CountryWheels711]

49:08 this reminds me of Jelly Rolls new song, “ I’m Not Okay, But It’s All Gonna Be Okay.”

[@thetorvic23]

If anyone knows me, I've been a Kross fan for years...he reminds me now of a mix of like Adam Copeland and Baron Corbin. I'm glad I connect with human beings

[@Deanof316.]

This is a variation of Karrion when he first debuted and he went after Rey Mysterio and Drew. Also, fans can have views on which Wrestler is 'better' than another without being "toxic" as he said. Otherwise, great guy, great Pro Wrestler, great interview as always Chris.

[@LaylaYusuf-c1z]

I’ve been waiting for this!

[@victhelam]

Karrion Kross comes off as such a cool guy here and superstars have said they've been the most successful being themself. This guy is you just spoke to is nothing like the one on TV. Hope he finds his way

[@steveskew1097]

Man I love Kross, I really wish they'd give him a push like he deserves.

[@ZeTeamLeader]

Karrion's slow corruption of other wrestlers kicks ass

[@CEO_caine4343]

I love how he explains what somebody getting “pushed” looks like vs someone getting “buried” because I think wwe fans just be thinking if someone loses they’re being buried everything they is always to set up a story

[@PhantomOverlordX2]

Given the Newlegacyinc bois. It's not all surprising the impressions thing. Feel like ALL of us as kids, all did impressions of the wrestlers haha.

[@cerebralfanatic]

This guy is the epitome of psychology in wrestling a shame Triple H isn’t utilizing him to his fullest Doesn’t even use Authors of Pain

[@Dadx31]

Would love to see Kross as a champion again

[@p3rs3arsk4]

Karrion is such a talented dude, he needs to be in the title picture already.

[@PAWTheGoldStandard]

Wow he gets its. Most fans don't. It's a tv show. Entertainment. They get paid to put on a show. Ego wise im sure they want to say they are winning and become champion, but at the end of the day they are their to perform. A champion and a challenger.

[@porridgeboss]

I love him he's so criminal underrated. I hope one day WWE realises how good this guy is!

[@Papellxhase]

With hhh liking him you’d think he be bigger since he reminds me alot of younger hhh. A lot of guys getting storylines right now where kross can get them. Put him up against some babyfaces that can elevate him & make him look strong. Id love to see a kross & Seth feud, kross & la knight feud, kross & cody feud, kross & Roman feud ( which we NEVER got btw ) , kross & punk feud. All top guys who could show that kross has the potential to be that guy. He’s getting nowhere with these lack luster stories tbh.

[@porridgeboss]

@@Papellxhase You're so right. Just look at what Bronson Reed has become.

[@Papellxhase]

@@porridgeboss agree, they could’ve given kross that. That story with Seth wouldve elevated him to a whole nother level. Bronson is just a wrecking machine but what about when it comes to actual back n forth promos? They never let Bronson talk unless it’s backstage & we know Seth likes to talk face to face. Kross could’ve been his match since kross is criminally underrated on the mic & 1 of the best talkers. It just sucks to be in the position he’s in

[@c.s3369]

The worst part is that he cuts these great promos and they're just NEVER ON TV.

[@Papellxhase]

@@c.s3369 agreed. His backstage segments where he is cutting sick promos are never shown on tv & it’s sick knowing that raw just basically wastes 2-3 hours on a lot of judgment day segments instead of letting people like kross get some recognition

[@chitresh86]

Kross should be booked as a baby face! He will connect with the audience much better with his natural charisma!

[@WWE2KUNIVERSEELITE]

Karrion Kross hopefully gets his big rivalry on the main roster he is world championship material. He's the closest right now to matching Bray's mind for weird ass storytelling.

[@samcarter565]

Kross reminds me so much of Raven and how his character work is next level but he’s consistently being booked to lose and so it doesn’t matter how good the character work is, the audience just sees a guy losing.

[@streamingwithjoe]

Great comparison, I see it.

[@kriskhaos6025]

Yes he does to me too!

[@miguelladinodevera614]

Another commenter here said they asked Karrion on twitter if the promo similarities with Jake the Snake is a coincidence, and I quote, "It's not a coincidence 🐍" Jake and Raven r scary characters if they were real. One dude walks around with a damn slithering reptile, talks about how to induce nightmares in u while spiking your head on any hard surface. Another is depressed af, psyhopathic and has an army with him ALL THE TIME.

[@shallow4260]

"You cant win people over doing this" Brother you've won me over with it. I hope he gets the title push he deserves. Theres something really special about him that I think given enough time and care from the company, he's gonna get over as a top heel.

[@bartedmonds7986]

Can’t wait for the Aha moment to happen for Karrion on TV. The Look, The personality, The Game 2.0.

[@unstablebrother]

Give this man a title and major push! Let him cook on tv with promos he's underrated also quite good looking

[@thectgx]

Thank you both for this. I can't even put into words how happy this makes me.

[@grimmjowhed6]

Man .... I would love to have a conversation with Kross. He just seems like a dope guy! Much respect for this episode!

[@Jake38nine]

I so want Karrion Kross to be World Heavy Weight Champion one day. He has it all for it. Just needs the crowd to get behind him with some noise, whether it's boos or cheers.
