Low Kis previous WWE run, as a part of the companys NXT offshoot, was typified by black marks, bad attitudes and burnt bridges, on both sides, so its unlikely that well ever see Ki in a WWE ring again. Besides, Low Ki is a draw wherever he goes, be it TNA, ROH, the indies or Japan. He is a genuinely superb athlete and he has a legion of fans worldwide that clamour to see him perform wherever he goes. That said, WWE is taking more notice of the indies these days. Former independent standouts like Daniel Bryan, CM Punk and latterly Kevin Steen, have all been given a chance to shine by WWE creative, so perhaps the idea of Ki competing in WWE once again is not too far fetched... Weight, height, politics and branding would definitely halt Kis ascent to the top of the card, but an upper mid-card run, similar to Rob Van Dams spot in the early 2000s, would be very rewarding, for Ki, the WWE and especially the fans.
I am a professional author and lifelong comic books/pro wrestling fan. I also work as a journalist as well as writing comic books (I also draw), screenplays, stage plays, songs and prose fiction.
I don't generally read or reply to comments here on What Culture (too many trolls!), but if you follow my Twitter (@heyquicksilver), I'll talk to you all day long!
If you are interested in reading more of my stuff, you can find it on http://quicksilverstories.weebly.com/ (my personal site, which has other wrestling/comics/pop culture stuff on it).
I also write for FLiCK http://www.flickonline.co.uk/flicktion, which is the best place to read my fiction work.
Oh yeah - I'm about to become a Dad for the first time, so if my stuff seems more sentimental than usual - blame it on that!
Finally, I sincerely appreciate every single read I get. So if you're reading this, thank you, you've made me feel like Shakespeare for a day! (see what I mean?)
