Karrion Kross Explains Why He Thinks Steve Austin Is The GOAT

Many wrestlers in the industry have named Stone Cold Steve as the greatest of all time, and now another WWE star explains why.

Former two-time NXT Champion Karrion Kross was asked who he thought was the GOAT during a recent interview with Chris Van Vilet. Kross explained that it was the Rattlesnake who not only took pro-wrestling to the next level, but saved WWE during its Monday Night War against WCW.

Well, I think to me, the GOAT is the guy that did the most for the business. Not necessarily, had to be the best wrestler. But the guy that did meant the most to our business, and the guy that saved [it] in my eyes, saved the WWE. Steve Austin. Yeah, I mean, what Steve did, and then to be injured and retire at 39. I mean, I keep forgetting this and until people remind me, well, I don’t see Steve as much as I used to. But he quit. He had to quit because of a broken neck at 39. Yeah, he got back in and out. But I mean, think about that. I mean. And he took a couple of swings. They put one label on him, but when he found that niche, him and Vince The Attitude Era, but it was Stone Cold, Shawn, Mike Tyson. And we were arguing about the NWO who’s gonna win a match? And can we go with three minutes instead of 10? I mean, it’s just bullsh*t. But that’s, that’s when all of a sudden where Bischoff didn’t know how to run a company. Then he put himself into it, which made it worse.

Elsewhere in the interview, Kross spoke about fan interest in him facing John Cena. You can read about that by clicking here.
