Diamond Dallas Page sees a world of potential in this WWE Superstar.
WWE Hall of Famer Diamond Dallas Page recently sat down with CasinoBeats. When asked what he believes WWE needs to do to position Karrion Kross as a main eventer, Page believes it just comes down to him getting an opportunity.
“Opportunity. The damn opportunity and just let him be himself because the cat’s real, you know, and he can work his ass off,” DDP said. “It’s not like he’s some big guy who doesn’t know how to kick and doesn’t know how to throw a punch or doesn’t know how to work. He just does all of it at its highest level.
“That interview that he did that lit shit up and I’m hoping something comes out of that for him. It was like LA Night. Same thing. Both of those guys, they’re 20 years in each. They’ve been doing this a long time and it’s easy to build some strong promos. If you go back and look at me when I wanted to work with Benoit and Raven, and the reason why I wanted to work with both those guys was to bring them up because man, both of those cats were great.
“You’ll see me in the crowd cutting a promo. They say, I’d never be a top guy. They said I’d never be a main eventer, they were wrong. I was talking to the booking committee. You just take where that real energy comes from and just push it somewhere else. You didn’t know I was talking to the booking committee at the time.
“I did. So that’s why it was real to me. And that’s what you do as an actor. Being a wrestler should be called an artist more than anything because we’re taking you into a world that no other entertainer can do, meaning actor. Sure, you might be able to go to the same play every night and hit the same marks with the same intensity, not change it all up and become a different character tomorrow night. And then a different character tomorrow. And let them see how good you are.”
