The SGM Super 30 Black Professional Wrestler #8

Ron Killings

2002 is about as good as it’s going to get for Ron “The Truth” Killings, which is a shame. I really dug his “stand up for the brotherman” promos, and I can appreciate his in-ring work. I did hate that he was one of only about ten other black wrestlers saddled with a scissor kick as a finisher.

But sorry, man, as one-third of 3 Live Kru, your work has gotta suffer. I seem to recall that he, along with Krumembers Road Dogg and Konnan, was involved in some kind of multiple deathmatch angle against Jeff Jarrett that was totally ripped from WCW - back when Jarrett had to defend his belt in three matches in one night. Road Dogg met Jarrett in a “trailer park” match, Konnan met him later in a “barrio” match, and then Killings brought the noise in a “ghetto” match, or something else equally as asinine. Let’s face it, Mr. Truth, that three month run you had with the NWA title? I get the feeling that, unless someone leaves it lying around near the men’s room, that’s the closest you’ll get to it for a long, long time.
