News broke last week that WWE had officially changed the name of Killer Kross. He will now be known as ‘Karrion Kross’ in WWE.
On Fightful Select (subscribe here), Sean Ross Sapp provided some additional details behind the name change and the meaning of it.
Sapp says that the name was Kross’ idea instead of WWE’s. “Carrion” references the decaying flesh of dead animals. Plus, there were a few other factors that inspired the name.
Here is what Sapp wrote:
We’re told the Karrion Kross name was Kross’ idea as opposed to WWE’s. “Carrion” is the decaying flesh of dead animals, so FYI, there ya go. There are also ties to Latin and Greek mythology and “Kharon” in the name. Kharon was the ferryman of Hades who carried the souls of the newly deceased across the rivers Styx and Acheron. Kross also has a tattoo of “Kheiron” on his back.
What do you think of the name change? Let me know in the comment section below.
