10 Secret Hidden Weaknesses Of Your Favourite Wrestlers
3. Karrion Kross - Bad Snap
This might be a little unfair on Karrion Kross to include him in a list with this title. After all, he's almost certainly never been your favourite wrestler.
But less cynically, there was definitely a point where Triple H believed he could be, and its in failing to heed some of 'The Game's old advice that Kross might have marked his own tarot cards as doomed sooner rather than later.
His 2020 presentation in NXT was brilliant in a smoke-and-mirrors way even if it wasn't maximised due to an unfortunately-timed injury. His 2021 main roster call up was an unmitigated disaster that could at least be blamed on the whims of the idiot Vince McMahon in his last full year (to date) in charge, but a 2022 under the stewardship of Paul Levesque was supposed to be The Real Quiz era of Kross' complicated WWE legacy.
That it's fallen so flat is an indictment on performer and promoter alike - Hunter 50/50ed him against Drew McIntyre and had him outright lose to Rey Mysterio, but his work has lacked the gusto and impact of a guy his size that's too easy to see why. Kross leaves so little of an impression on anybody, and unless the pop and fizzle can finally be felt every time he bumps and strikes within the next few months, the former NXT Champion can probably expect to spend the remainder of his time looking at the lights rather than bringing them down.
