Karrion Kross is finding his groove a facilitator of The Final Testament and the former NXT Champion may have gotten inspiration from legendary actor Chazz Palminteri.
Kross was born and raised right out of Hell\'s Kitchen so his roots are well-embedded in the lifestyle of New York City and it had to be a big-time pleasure for the WWE Superstar when he got to meet Palminteri. Palminteri is also Big Apple-born and he may be best known for his role as a local Bronx boss Sonny in the Robert DeNiro directed \"A Bronx Tale.\"
Right before a big weekend took off in New York City for WWE with Saturday Night\'s Main Event, Kross ended up sharing a photo-op he got with the actor, noting that it was a \"long story\" before quoting that very film.
\"Long story!
You’ll hear it eventually.
“The saddest thing in life is wasted talent, and the choices that you make will shape your life forever. But you can ask anybody from my neighborhood, and they’ll just tell you this is just another Bronx tale.\'

One could envision Kross pulling a lot of inspiration from \"Sonny\" as it pertains to his current role in The Final Testament. Much like the charismatic crime boss Palminteri portrays Kross walks the fine line between showing humanity (albeit manipulative) and menace, a trait that made Sonny so fascinating as a character. It\'s no secret that Kross is heavily influenced by classic films as he\'s picked and pulled from both the dramatic and horror drama to build upon an on-air persona that\'s finally getting warranted recognition.
Kross currently finds himself with the upper hand on a feud with The Wyatt Sicks. Karrion captured a pinfall win against Uncle Howdy this past Monday on WWE RAW thanks to interference by a returning Paul Ellering.
