K-Kwik...

[Guest]

I just saw Survivor Series 2000 for the first time, and I gotta say K-Kwik was awesome (for the minute he was in there, anyway).  I had stopped watching wrestling back in 99 and came back late last year, so I don't know anything about this guy.  He wasn't fired, was he?

He was released, the WWF wanted ownership of his rap name (K-Krush) and he didn't agree with that so he was released.

wrestling as his original name K-Krush for NWA-TNA

He was released, the WWF wanted ownership of his rap name (K-Krush) and he didn't agree with that so he was released.

 

He's mentioned that in interviews, but I think it had very little to do with why he was released.

 

Basically, the guy wasn't over. He injured his ribs, was gone for a few months, came back, and was even less over than before. He then injured his ribs again, and, rather than be brought back when he recovered, they dropped him. One can argue that the WWF didn't give him enough time to get over, but they gave him a decent push before the first rib injury, and the crowd didn't respond. Can't say that I blame them: "rapping wrestler" is a terrible gimmick, and, in my opinion, K-Kwik was a lousy rapper.

 

Before Road Dogg pulled the Scott Hall act that ultimately led to his dimissal, he had been tag teaming with guy. Whether or not Dogg's termination hurt Kwik's chances of getting over remain to be seen, but I doubt it.

I have never EEEEEEEVER heard of this guy....

[Guest Ripper]

He is no doubt on the indies somewhere doing really bad handsprings and blowing dropkicks.  The guy just wasn't that good.

He was green, but after being polished in OVW or Memphis (at the time) a bit more, he could have been better.

 

Of course, the WWF failed to put any faith in him after Road Dogg left, as he went from his babyface updated Men On A Mission act to a heel (albeit briefly, because he was inured shortly thereafter) with no real motivation behind a turn.  Hopefully if the NWA is serious about creating new stars in wrestling, they may put a little more effort into K-Kwik (Krush) than the WWF did.

He's sipping Woolite in a Memphis gutter with the Road Dogg

[Guest converge241]

well hes a step above road dogg, K-Krush is in the inagural NWA-TNA pay per view and Dogg is not. If that bombs maybe just maybe he'll hit :"the gutters of memphis"

[Guest]

Hell, I like him. He seemed to be at least sorta over until they paired him with Road Dogg. That was just a kiss of death.

[Guest Mark4steamboat]

He was orignally K-crush in a small fed where i live and somehow or another, he left a week after i started watching this fed(APW: American Pro Wrestling...out of spartanburg sc so really it wasnt an actual american fed but oh well) and showed up in wwf. it was really cool to see him there.

he was a really good worker too.

K-Kwik wrestled in OVW and Dark Matches for part of 2000 as K-Krush. He was brought up to team with Road Dogg, who in a few weeks was sacked for being friend swith Jack Daniels and Mary Juana (canned laughter). After that they made him a Jakked wrestler and that was that. He's in the NWATNA PPV as K-Krush tonight.

jtronx..."a little over until they paired him with Road Dogg?" I thought in his debut he was already sort of teaming with Road Dogg? I could be wrong, but I seem to remember seeing him debut on Sunday Night Heat, sitting backstage working on a rap or something with the Dogg. Anyways, it was pretty lame.

[Guest dreamer420]

I think they met up at WWFNY during a Heat and then they rapped together or something and the tag team was formed.  I know that after Dogg left K-Kwik wrestled on his own for awhile, rapping himself to the ring, before getting injured and eventually fired.
