1000 Words: WWE Will Make a Killing(s)

Columns

A semi-regular ‘column’ where I post a photo from the world of rasslin’ that I think speaks volumes…

Ron “R-Truth” Killings may have gotten off to a slow start, with a debut that saw the crowd a bit confused and not knowing what to think of the ‘newcomer’ but… since he began rapping through the crowd while making his way to the ring, something interesting has happened: he’s caught on. Even more interestingly, he’s using the same entrance music we’ve heard before, but for whatever reason he comes across 1000x better on WWE TV than he did the last place he was. Sure you can say he came into his own in TNA — and hey, two world title reigns is nothing to sneeze at — but he also has a couple of embarrassing angles that I’m sure he and his fans would rather forget about. In contrast, since his promo videos began running in WWE, new life’s been breathed into the wrestler-formerly-known-as-K-Kwik, and in my opinion, he’s got a legitimate chance of being a true, main event star on Friday nights.

And if you don’t believe me, take a look at the above photo from last week’s Smackdown — Truth rhyming through the crowd and dancing with a kid who’s wearing a Rey Mysterio mask and D-X t-shirt — and tell me that picture doesn’t speak 1000 words about Killings’ future.
