Karrion Kross is one of the most talked about WWE Superstars (?) today. At the time of this interview, Kevin Kesar and his wife Elizabeth, aka Scarlett, were reportedly nearing the end of their WWE contracts.

Kross has also been the subject of an onset of massive support from fans around the world, hoping to see and hear more from the star.

As of production day, Karrion Kross and Scarlett have moved to the "Alumi" section of WWE's website. That is an interesting story, but far from the most interesting thing you'll get to know about Kevin Kesar (Kay-SAR if you've been trying to figure out how to say it).
