syxx2001 0 Report post Posted May 3, 2003 To follow-up the story I posted yesterday regarding Ron Killings being offered a contract by WWE, it's now known that Killings and WWE are still negotiating a deal. If a deal were to be reached, Killings would be a member of the Smackdown roster and would be placed into a feud with John Cena. WOL and PWTorch.com i think it would suck. when he gets there, he feuds with cena for a month then what? he just fights rikishi every other week? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest CoreyLazarus416 Report post Posted May 3, 2003 ...this is what happens when you don't treat your first (and so far only) true breakout star with the proper respect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Report post Posted May 3, 2003 What hurts the most is knowing he'll lose the Cena feud and then go to Velocity...and then stop getting booked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Bart913 Report post Posted May 3, 2003 Are you sure about this? Where did you read this? Last week the Torch newsletter reported about WWE contacting Ron Killings. These cut and paste sites are reporting this as if it is new news. The Torch this week mentioned that he is close to signing a new deal with TNA. It is funny that these sites are reporting this after they stole news from the Torch VIP EMails from last week. The Torch Email was after the deadline for last weeks issue. It was reported that Killings turned down the WWE offer because of a low downside guarantee. As for WOL, it was a taped show last Sunday. The show the week before that never mentioned anything.

Guest Youth N Asia Report post Posted May 3, 2003 I'm still not impressed with the guy. And expanding the roster is the last thing they need to be doing...least wait till they cut some dead weight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Mindless_Aggression Report post Posted May 3, 2003 The guy is passable in the ring but not particularly good. Great mic work if he's allowed to be himself and not "Blackman stereotype" guy. I agree that they don't need him though. They've got a million guys more talented they could be doing something with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest CoreyLazarus416 Report post Posted May 3, 2003 I like Truth in the ring. He brings his charisma into every move. Needs to work on psychology? Yeah. Needs perhaps a better moveset? Possibly. But the guy generates pretty good heat with just a few punches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest TonyJaymzV1 Report post Posted May 3, 2003 hmmm...isnt this the same guy that basically said he'd never go back to the WWE? All I ever hear Killings do is bitch and whine so whatever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Banky Report post Posted May 3, 2003 TNA should spend less time putting over recent WWE cast-offs, and more time pushing the guys who gave the company its cult following. Jerry Lynn, AJ Styles, Low Ki, and Ron Killings were the big guys who made the company what it is. None of them are in the Main Event scene, and they've had their roles drastically reduced. Its a big big big mistake. The TNA are biting the hand that fed them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Notorious CRD Report post Posted May 3, 2003 I really hope Killings isn't going to WWE. He's just going to be another face in the crowd there and if he does feud with Cena you can be assured it will only serve to put Cena over. All that being said, I can understand why Killings isn't happy with his role in TNA, nor do I understand why TNA has ceased to use him after doing such a great job with him in the early weeks of the promotion. Here's hoping both parties can come to an agreement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest areacode212 Report post Posted May 3, 2003 According to the latest Torch, Killings backtracked from his previous comments and turned down an offer from WWE because the downside wasn't high enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Report post Posted May 4, 2003 Let's hope that's true. I look at it from his perspective and I don't know what I'd do. At first I would have been loyal to TNA because the WWE discarded me...but then TNA stopped booking him to for reasons beyond my comprehension. The guy isn't great in the ring or anything...but I maintain that no one else on the TNA roster can make a crowd react to something like he can. Above all I hope he gets a sustained try wherever he lands. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Y2DAYDAY Report post Posted May 5, 2003 It sucks but if WWE really wants him, they will get him. He's better off putting over the next big WWE star John Cena on Smackdown than being a midcarder in TNA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Dynamite Kido Report post Posted May 5, 2003 That sux if it's true. Besides a feud with Cena, honestly what else would they do with him? His mic skillz still need work and I think the WWE would get sick of him real quick. STAY RON STAY!!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest hardyz1 Report post Posted May 5, 2003 So WWE's way of cutting costs is firing staff members and hiring wrestlers from other promotions to spite said promotions? Makes sense to me. Or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
