Karrion Kross’ post-promo following WrestleMania 41 has sparked discussion among wrestling fans and commentators, with some drawing parallels to the iconic “Austin 3:16” moment of Steve Austin. In a recent episode of Busted Open Radio, wrestling personality Bully Ray shared his thoughts on why he believes Kross’ promo could mark a pivotal moment in his career.
The promo, which gained significant attention online, featured Kross expressing what many interpreted as criticism of WWE. Bully Ray pointed out that while Kross’ delivery resonated with the audience, the impact of such moments often unfolds over time. He stated, “Maybe that was his ‘Austin 3:16’ moment. But they’re gonna go about it in a completely different way.”
Bully Ray emphasized the differences between Kross’ situation and the legendary moments of wrestling history. He noted that while Austin’s “3:16” promo became a defining moment, it took time for its full impact to be felt. He remarked, “Austin had his ‘3:16’ moment, but it wasn’t months later that the Austin thing kicked in. Hulkamania was overnight…That’s why you can’t compare anybody to Hulk Hogan.”
Fans are keenly observing Kross’ trajectory in the wrestling world, particularly following this standout promo. The excitement surrounding Kross highlights the evolving nature of wrestling narratives and the way they resonate with audiences.
As Kross continues to build his character, the industry will be watching closely to see if this moment can evolve into something as transformative as Austin’s legendary promos. The wrestling community remains divided on the potential impact of Kross’ post-WrestleMania comments, but one thing is clear: the conversation around his career is only just beginning.
