Killer Kross, known in WWE as Karrion Kross, has released his new documentary titled “My Life After WWE”, where he narrates his stage after the company and offers an honest look at his independent career. This is his third documentary and the second one after it became public that WWE would not renew his contract last August.

In the production, Kross shows footage of his matches in promotions like DEFY and others from the independent circuit, in addition to sharing moments with fans and locker room colleagues who praise his performance and creative commitment. The documentary is already available on YouTube and can be watched in full below.

One of the most commented moments comes when Kross compares his time in WWE with the story of 'Moby Dick', using characters and metaphors from the novel to illustrate his final negotiations with the company. The wrestler explains that one of the decisive factors for not renewing was the lack of consideration for his book, a project from which WWE was benefiting, during the contract negotiations.

When you tell that guy that his story doesn't matter, that you're taking away his money and that his work is irrelevant to the negotiation, there's no deal possible. They told me they would withdraw their offer in 24 hours.

Kross assures that he wanted to resolve the situation, but the company still rescinded the proposal. Sometimes, when someone makes you an offer and you see warning signs, you should pay attention to that".

The former wrestler also recalled his experience in 2021, when WWE wanted to move him up to the main roster. He asked if his on-screen partner and manager, Scarlett, would also be called up, but the company asked him to sign first. Scarlett was never promoted and both ended up being released months later, with WWE citing reasons related to the pandemic.

Kross concludes his reflection with a sentence that summarizes his current stance: "Money means nothing if it's not tied to principles. I'd rather earn less and keep my values than accept that my story doesn't matter."
