"I love what he's doing" - WWE legend praises Karrion Kross
A WWE Hall of Famer recently praised Karrion Kross for his work and commented on his rise in popularity. The former NXT Champion had a backstage confrontation with Sami Zayn during last night's episode of WWE RAW.
Speaking on the Something to Wrestle With podcast, JBL praised Kross' work and noted that he has used social media to his benefit. He added that he admired what Kross was doing and complimented the veteran for betting on himself.
“It’s really unique what he’s doing, I admire what he’s doing. It’s — you know, you can take your lot in life and you can just swallow it. Or you can say, That’s my lot in life, but I’m going to change that,’ and he’s changing it. And that’s what I would recommend. Right now, you can do so much with social media. I think you can hurt yourself — and I think a lot of guys do — or you can help yourself. And I think guys like Karrion are doing a wonderful job with that," he said.
The legend added that he was not sure if Karrion Kross had a plan but was excited to see what happened moving forward on WWE RAW.
"He’s obviously a very smart guy, and I think he’s doing — I love what he’s doing. I think it’s fun. I don’t know where he’s going with it. I don’t know if he has a plan. I feel like he probably does, but it’ll be interesting to see what happens," he added. [H/T: 411mania]
