Karrion Kross on facing Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania

In a recent interview with The Gorilla Position podcast, Karrion Kross was asked who would he like to face in a big WrestleMania match. Without wasting a breath, Kross claimed that he wants to face Brock Lesnar simply because the later draws more attention than any other WWE Superstar.

He went on say that Brock Lesnar brings in the figures that are important in the sports entertainment business. He went on to categorise Brock Lesnar as the measuring stick when it comes to bringing new fans to the WWE Universe and even compared him to The Rock.

"You said WrestleMania? I would say, Brock Lesnar. The measuring stick, it depends on the context. The way you would draw up what the measuring stick looks like might be different than the way someone else does, right? For me, the measuring stick would essentially be who can draw the most into a building and who can draw the most attention. I think that he is a guy that transcended sports entertainment. He is in mainstream entertainment. I think that figures like that in our business are pretty important. We always need new fans. We always want to create new fans."

"I think there are people who can engage the hardcore fans nonstop, easily, no problem, the purists I guess you can say. Then there are people that have a mainstream entertainment appeal. I respectfully don't know, in my opinion, if he would be the measuring stick as much as The Rock would be the measuring stick. I say that because, in terms of generating attention and interest, I think he is the highest-paid actor in Hollywood. He came from here. If someone wants to emulate the absolute most success they can find in this business; I would say The Rock is the guy." (h/t WrestlingNews.co)

The latter is now the NXT Champion as well as the North American Champion and could soon find himself in a title match against Kross in the coming months.
