Well now, let me tell ya somethin’ about that Karrion Kross feller and his hair. I reckon you seen him strut around on that WWE telly with that long hair of his, and maybe you wondered, “What in tarnation made him grow that mop out?” I ain’t one to gossip, but I reckon I can tell you a thing or two ’bout it, ’cause it ain’t just about fashion, no sir!
See, Karrion Kross, he made his big ol’ return to the WWE back in August 2022, and when he did, well, let’s just say he didn’t look the same. Used to, he was all clean-shaven and bald-headed, but now? He’s sportin’ a mighty fine beard and hair that reaches right down past his shoulders! If you ask me, it gave him a whole new look—more like a wild man from the mountains than a wrestler! But what made him grow all that hair? Well, it turns out it wasn’t just ’cause he wanted to look like a different kind of villain. Nah, it was for a bigger reason than that.
Now, I heard that Kross, he had got himself a role in a film. Yep, that’s right, a film! And they told him they wanted him to have long hair for the character he’d be playin’. Now, when a big film studio tells you to grow your hair, and they’re gonna pay you for it, what do you do? Why, you grow your hair, of course! I reckon a feller’s gotta take them opportunities when they come, and that’s exactly what Kross did. But wouldn’t you know it, the film kept getting delayed, one thing after another, and by the time it was all said and done, Kross had himself a new look—and I reckon he liked it.
And don’t get me wrong, this feller’s been wrestlin’ for years, ever since he was a young sprout. He used to show up on NXT, back when he was still gettin’ his feet wet in the big leagues. But when he came back to WWE in 2022, it wasn’t just about the hair—it was about his whole persona. With that new look, and that scary, intense attitude he brought with him, it made him stand out like a sore thumb, in a good way. Folks were talkin’ ’bout him, and that’s exactly what he wanted.
And let me tell you, I reckon he made the right decision. Folks in the WWE, they’re always lookin’ for somethin’ fresh. If you don’t stand out, you get forgotten, like an old loaf of bread at the back of the pantry. But Kross, he knew what he was doin’. That long hair made him even more menacing in that ring, almost like a beast ready to pounce. Plus, it gave him a kind of mystery, you know? People like a good mystery, don’t they?
But this whole hair business wasn’t just about lookin’ fierce. No, sir! There was a little somethin’ more to it. I heard he even made a whole thing out of it on his social media, talkin’ ‘bout how he didn’t just grow it for a film role, but for the way it helped him embrace who he really was. Sometimes, when you change somethin’ about yourself, it’s more than just lookin’ different. It’s about feelin’ different, too. Kross probably felt like a whole new man with that long hair, ready to take on whatever the WWE threw at him.
Now, I reckon some folks might’ve thought it was just a gimmick. You know, a way to make him stand out more in the crowd. And sure, that might’ve been part of it. But there’s more to it than just lookin’ the part. Kross wanted to feel powerful, like a force of nature that you couldn’t ignore. And that’s exactly what that hair did for him. It was a way for him to let folks know he meant business.
As for how folks reacted, well, that’s another thing. Some folks loved the new look, sayin’ it gave him more of a presence in the ring. Others, well, they might’ve missed the old clean-cut Kross. But you can’t please everyone, can ya? What matters is that Kross liked it, and he was comfortable with the decision he made.
So, if you’re wonderin’ why Karrion Kross decided to grow out that hair of his, now you know the story. It wasn’t just for the film role, though that was a big part of it. It was about makin’ a statement. He wanted to come back to WWE stronger, more intimidating, and ready to take on whoever came his way. And I’ll tell ya, it sure made an impression on folks like me!
