Karrion Kross has an ever lasting effect on people. Everyone that he has an issue with, it changes them. No matter what. If they are a babyface, they might turn heel. Or they might turn on a family member. Or do things that aren't them. It is the Kross Effect. Kross is the leader of the Final Testament which consists of the Authors of Pain (Akam and Rezar) and managers Paul Ellering and his wife Scarlett. His finishing hold is the Kross Jacket, which is a chokehold.
