I too am excited that Ron Killings (R-Truth) is heading to Smackdown.
I'm a bit hyped as well, but I doubt he'll be anything more than the next United States Champion. His gimmick reminds me too much of Rikishi Fatu's old gimmick from 1995-1996 in which he relived his mistakes, getting shot, paying his dues for his crimes, etc, etc.
Killings is apparently going to be the Smackdown version of C.M. Punk, except he'll have lived through the experiences of those "mistakes" so he'll be better.
Apparently WWE are going to quickly push the guy into the main event scene which is a very good decision as he is probably the best wrestler on that brand and the main event spot's in WWE are crying out for fresher talent as I, like many, are fed up of seeing the usual faces, in particular Triple H, hogging the top spots.
You have straight up lost your fricken mind if you believe the former K-Kwik is better than Triple H., Edge, Jeff Hardy, Big Show, Umaga, M.V.P., Mr. Kennedy.. shit, you know what.. Ron Killings is topping the list of being right about Jimmy Wang Yang at this point.
K-fricken-Kwik.. okay, remember that. K-Kwik isn't, never was, and definately won't be a Main Eventer to go over the likes of Triple H. I don't care if he did change his name to "R-Truth". That makes it even worse, what the hell does "R-Truth" stand for? (Don't even say Ron)
R-Truth has also came from TNA, where by far the best wrestlers in America are based, so he is sure to teach those current WWE superstars a thing or two about how wrestling should be done.
Even if that was the case, you do realize 90% of T.N.A.'s Roster are former W.W.F./E. guys, right? So technically, the W.W.E. is where "by far the best wrestlers in America are based". And T.N.A. just picks the scraps of what the W.W.E. no longer feels they need.
Hopefully R-Truth will be World Champion within a year and he is certain to be a massive hit with fans.
I can see now why you believe T.N.A. is so great. Killings is going back to performing in front of a crowd larger than triple digits. He'll get a mixed reaction, if any reaction at all.
He'll get a moderate push against Shelton Benjamin, because that seems to be the thing they're doing right now. Benjamin's recent title reign has no purpose. Killings redebut will show him likely winning the title and doing nothign with it, until someone else comes along.
In a year's time.. Killings will be switched to E.C.W., and likely jobbing to Colin Delaney. I hope not, I really do. I want to see Killings do something.. but he's a Tag Team specialist, and a midcard level guy in the world of the W.W.E., at best. No where near Main Event level. Especially not against guys like Edge, Triple H. and the Undertaker.
