Karrion Kross Talks About His Off-Camera History With Drew McIntyre

In a recent interview with Cheap Heat, Karrion Kross made a point to mention how much support he received from Drew McIntyre after Kross’ WWE release last year. He also credited McIntyre’s talent as a co-worker and expressed his appreciation for his abilities. You can read a few highlights from Kross and watch the full episode below.

On McIntyre’s support after the release from WWE: “Drew was one of the first people who actually called me when I got released. And we had a conversation and he basically told me, ‘I know how good you are, you know how good you are, the fans know how good you are; go out there and shove this up their ass and make them call you back.’ That’s what he told me on the phone.”

On working alongside McIntyre on the same roster: “I mean, I would work with Drew McIntyre seven days a week. He has such an excellent ear for the audience — live, when we’re out there — just as a worker. He can feel where the crowd is going before they’re even there. I don’t know if that’s going to translate to people who don’t wrestle, but he just — he understands his audience. He’s one of the hardest working people I’ve ever met, and I would probably say one of the toughest too.”
