Killer Kross finally addresses the rumors regarding his request from Impact Wrestling. Well, sort of.
Last month it was reported that the Impact star had requested his release from the company due to being unhappy with his financial situation. Mike Johnson of PWInsider was the first to report the news, citing that Kross was looking to restructure his contract to a six-figure deal; however, Impact officials and Kross couldn’t come to terms on a new agreement. The Impact star then requested his release from the company, which was not granted by officials.
In an interview with MultiMediaMouth, Kross addressed the report (transcript courtesy of fightful.com):
"I've chosen not to talk about it, and the reason being [is] there are inaccuracies in that article! Quite frankly, I'm very [frick]ing angry that article has surfaced. That's all I'm allowed to say about that. I'm not happy about it."
When asked about potentially leaving IMPACT for another promotion, Kross said,
"My endgame is to be financially secure enough to take care of my family. Wherever that can happen is exactly where I belong. I've been very happy about being in IMPACT wrestling and have been vocal about that. I have a lot of freedoms there that probably wouldn't be afforded anywhere else. There's a level of gratitude there that is priceless."
