Ok, seriously, Ron "The Truth/K-kwik" Killings is THE most annoying wrestler on TV. Even more than the Spirit Squad.
I can't stand his stupid dancing. I don't catch TNA every week, but I tune in when I can and after every match, no matter how much he gets beat up, he dances around the ring for like 5 minutes.
I don't get why he thinks that makes him cool. He's not a bad wrestler, but every time i see him dance I just shake my head and turn the channel for a few minutes until he's not on anymore.
Does anyone else share my loathing for him?

Well I will agree with you on that for sure! I too get annoyed with his dancing, it is sooo bad and just plain dumb. As much as I hate the Spirit Squad I would rather see them do their dumb cheers than to see Killings stumble about the ring in what he calls dancing. Especially tonight you have a stand off in the ring and here he is in the middle of it all "dancing" about for what seem like an eternity.
That is another part of Lockdown that can be a quick bathroom break when he starts dancing. Along with the stupid Arm Wrestling match in the SIX SIDES OF STEEL!! What a waste of PPV time. Gah! Hopefully that is on the pre-show and not on the actual event.
RON KILLINGS+ DANCING= NO RATINGS!!!

It's veryyyy embarrassing when he does the dancing. It was almost embarrassing those recent specials on him a few weeks ago.
Like GK said, he isn't a bad wrestler, he is after all a former leased champ ;D jk, but that dancing makes him look absolutely foolish.
Just think if he, BG James and Konan were still together...all of their goofy crap they do...UGHHH

I must agree. Ron Killings is fun to watch wrestle, but his dancing makes ME feel embarrassed. No way he's going to stop, though. If only I was in charge  |

i watched TNA last night and turned the tv off after this match... not because of the dancing, just because the main event was not an interesting enough sell to justify losing 20 minutes I could be sleeping.
That being said... I thing The Truth's dancing is funny! It remindes me of "The Humpty Dance":
"Its supposed to look like a fit or a convultion..."
Ron is a decent enough wrestler, however.
That about summs it up.

Ron killings needs to grow up and stop dancing, it doesn't work and makes him a joke. Disco Inferno was the same way and no one took him serious until he cut out the dancing and showed his wrestling skills. Ron has won the NWA Belt twice and I think he should get back in the hunt and show what made him a champion, not a champion dancer.

Well I guess is dancing would have been "hip and with the times" in the 80's in the background of one of those atrocious bubblegum pop videos like Paula Abdul's or Vanilla Ice? ;D
He can wrestle and I was entertained but when he does the dancing, that drives me nuts.....All I can hear in my head when he does that is "Don't Go!" by YAZoo. Try it sometime it is the funniest thing.....

But the difference is, Disco gimmick was supposed to be he was a joke...some guy living in the 90s but kinda stuck in the Disco 70s era. Killings, on the other hand, well it's not "supposed to make him look stupid", but it does. |

Obviously this is TNA's attempt to be more street or hip-hop or whatever. But it's crap and it does make it damn near impossible to take Ron seriously.
He really would;ve ben better off going heel with Konnan, becoming more thuggish, playing up his 'The Truth' nicknmae, and becoming a challenger for Christian. I think they would put on some decent matches. And he's not bad on the mic.
Dunno..I honestly don't think it's Ron's idea. It REALLY seems like TNA's desperate attempt to answer the more hip-hop influences in WWE by having their own 'street character. But no one on the booking team knows what that's supposed to look like. Like when Nickelodeon shows have the token black actor play a 'rappers'.
Painful to watch.

Does Ron Killings 'dancing' make him look stupid? That's debatable. It does seem to be over with the live crowd at the tapings. That said the absolute WORST thing any pro wrestler can do is just go out and perform without a level of showmanship that generates some form of crowd rapport and interest. I give RK credit for taking the initiative to stand out from his peers. Lord knows focusing solely on doing 'rasslin moves' like so many on the TNA roster do will likely never get these kids very far.
LWPD (in a 'compare and contrast' TNA's efforts to market Ron 'The Truth' Killings as the stereotypic 'urban role model' who is athletic and can dance was at least an improvement over WCW's similar attempts to promote Too Cold Scorpio...which is made even sadder when one realizes the later effort was the product of a cable television parent company) People over there wass up Feel me...stand up... Say Wass Up! Wass up! Wass Up! Wass Up! Wass Up! -Ron Killings 'Wass Up' |

Then again, i have some social issues that need to be addressed.

C'mon, LWPD. You like the dancing, don't you?  I don't see dancing and looking ridiculous is better than not dancing and not looking ridiculous. I'd be more prone to give him credit for trying to stand out if his attempts weren't so godawful. "You can get with this! Or you can get with that, You.. blaaaah " Ugh... |

Hmm, I'm on the opposite side of the fence on this one. Ron Killings is one of my favorite wrestlers in any fed. I think he's great in the ring and the dancing is hilarious and entertaining. I think it shows that he has a sense of humor and likes to have a good time out there. When he's on is one of the few times I DON'T change the channel during TNA to see what else is on.

He looks so serious while he's doing it!!! You may think it's funny, but that's not the intent! I do agree that he enjoys doing it, though. |
