What is the concept and idea behind the new ring gear of Karrion Kross?
The WWE Superstar spoke about this during a recent appearance on the Table Talk podcast for an in-depth interview covering all things pro wrestling and WWE.
Featured below is an excerpt from the discussion where he touches on this topic with his thoughts.
“I’m not entirely sure at this point. I had received a briefing about, I guess it was a creative team conversation, a series of people attempting to expand on the original concept that was presented during NXT. I guess it was a team of people.
“The direction I think they were attempting to go in was essentially a gladiator idea. I had introduced the lower body gear at NXT when I competed against Finn Balor to get the title back. My original concept was like, this feels like what the coliseum days would be like. We’re in a circular area with people around. With the character presentation of Karrion Kross and the development, this wasn’t just a regular match people were getting into. Win or lose, you might not be coming out the same way. I was attempting to project that sort of energy into it. What they wanted to do when I was coming up was play off of that. That’s where we’re at with it.”
