Ron Killings debuted in the WWF as K-Kwik in the late 1990s, and had little to show for his tenure other than a reign as Hardcore Championship and a short-lived tag team with Road Dogg. After a short time, he went to the newly-founded TNA promotion, where he had so much more success. He was the first African-American to win the NWA World Heavyweight Championship, and was taken much more seriously as a performer. While he did perform his own entrance music at times, it wasnt the central feature of his character. Though it wasnt as stellar of a career when compared to other top TNA Stars, such as AJ Styles or Samoa Joe, he was still featured in main event matches and was involved in programs with legends such as Sting. Upon his return to WWE in 2009, however, once again there was little to nothing for him to do. Capitalizing on the potential catchiness of his entrance theme, Killings would sing his entrance theme and dance his way to the ring. However, he did win the U.S. Championship once and the Tag Team Championship once with Kofi Kingston. However, much of his career in WWE has been in the undercard. The only time he was given a main event shot was in a short feud against John Cena, during which he became a conspiracy theorist, while talking to an imaginary character named Little Jimmy. Ron Killings is 42 now, so its unlikely that hell get another main event push in WWE. While he did enjoy some mid-card success, he had more success in TNA than in WWE; at least he won a world title over there, which was a big accomplishment back then anyway.
