Last April, Karrion Kross and Lashley shared the ring at WrestleMania 40. The two men and their respective clans faced off in a 6-Man Philadelphia Street Fight which Lashley, Angel Dawkins and Montez Fort would ultimately win.
If the action in-ring did not give rise to debate, Kross wanted to return to his human relationship with Lashley. Passing through Insight With Chris Van Vliet, the leader of the Final Testament tells us:
“I hate to say this but There was really no problem between him and me. It was a job. […] I love this guy. After our match I explained to him what an honor it was to share the ring with him. When WWE bought ECW, I thought their championship reign was great. When I was younger I was a bit of an ECW Originals snob, but eventually I didn’t care. He looks like the Hulk and he does crazy things in the ring. […] I told him all this at the end of our match at WrestleMania.
Before our match, Bobby and I were trying to find every possible way to intensify our rivalry. He had an idea to blur the lines as much as possible, to make it seem as real as possible. There was even one time when Bobby said to me: “You see all these guys spreading the dirt sheets… Man, we should fight during the opening of the show. All these guys will say that we really fought and that will immerse the spectators in the storyline.“And then I replied to him: “But wait, what happens if someone interrupts our fight?”, and he was like “Damn, I hadn’t thought of that!”
[…] Every week he and I tried to make our story as crazy as humanly possible. He even wanted me to powerbomb him and throw him out of the ring through a table at Mania.. I would have but I’m glad it didn’t happen.”
If the intensity may have seemed to increase a notch between the two men, you are now reassured: respect unites them.
