Talk:R-Truth

Debuted on Raw in a dark match

Up to you all if you want to put it in. I can't be bothered. 141.155.22.60 (talk) 19:11, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Yea, Killings has wrestled in the RAW Dark Maches for the past few weeks. Beating guys like Trevor Murosch, Paul london, Nick Nemeth, etc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.47.241.20 (talk) 16:40, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

One Last Deal

Any truth to his one last deal getting him caught? It sounds like the plot to the movie "Blow"...Oops I just spoild the end. --Ganley894 14:14, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Malik Shabazz

Why does "Malik Shabazz" lead to this page? It should lead to Malcolm X.

• he used it as a ring name. (k. malik shabazzzzz (z))

African-American Champion

Why does it say he was the second black person to win the NWA Title? I just checked the list of former champions and I can't see any black champions before him. Perhaps the person who wrote that was thinking of Ron Simmons(who won the WCW Championship). TJ Spyke 03:52, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Bob Brazil was a former NWA champ.(Halbared 07:04, 8 August 2006 (UTC))

Bobo Brazil is not recognized by the NWA as a former champion. TJ Spyke 20:40, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

he quit?

When did the truth quit? i think its a rumor

• after Hard Justice. The evidence supporting this is substantial.

too cool?

why shouldn't the rumor of a new too cool with scotty 2 hotty,grandmaster sexay,hisself,and rikishi be in the article? check the too cool article for info. Rollinman 31 August 2006 (UTC)

the answer is simple, you said it yourself actually.... it's a rumour —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.45.117.138 (talk) 20:05, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Quitting

Until he is removed from the TNA roster, his profile has been taken off of TNA's website, and or WWE announces that they have signed him, it is nothing more than a rumor. ~Sept 21, 2006 C.T.~

Mexican Wrestling

i could have sworn i seen him and Konnan on one of the Mexican wrestling shows. Can anyone confirm this...I know Konan was there for sure..ChicanoJ 02:26, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

I think that was when they were wrestling in AAA.

The Truth vs. John Cena?

I had not heard about this. Can someone please give more details? What did he say? Indie -0 04:36, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Killings in WWE?

Should we really have Killings being signed to the WWE on the main page considering that I don't believe Killings or the WWE have come right out and said that he has signed? The only confirmation we have been given is an internet report that only says that Killings said he signed. It's not like Killings actually came right out and publicly stated it.

It should be added back because of the fact that he stated it himself, so he basically told the public, are you waiting until you see him in WWE(T.V)?...people have added new signees before they apeared on WWE t.v in wiki articles before so I dont see the problem. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Soulja nyn3 (talk • contribs) 01:25, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

No because it is not sourced by WWE itself.--TrUcO9311 ^TaLk / _SiGn 03:09, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

To 1st responder, unless Killings has announced it via an official source (like a personal website or an actual interview where we can verify that it is him) or the WWE announce it via an official source then it is just a rumour. Just because somebody heard it heresay from somebody who said they talked to Ron Killings doesn't make it official —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.45.117.138 (talk) 22:06, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

He stated in this interview that he would be returning to WWE as K-Kwik after he finished working on the movie the wrestler with Mickey Rourke http://www.wrestlezone.com/column.php?articleid=202759435 Lbm5007 (talk) 00:54, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

WWE are actually waiting for him to pass the physical and drug test before signing him. http://www.wrestle-complex.com/headlines/backstage_details_on_ron_killings_to_wwe_his_.shtml

Ron wrestled in a dark match before last night RAW tapings deafeting Paul London. http://www.wrestleview.com/news2008/1206428594.shtml —Preceding unsigned comment added by Miroa12004 (talk • contribs) 15:47, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

He has also wrestled a dark match before the March 28 Smackdown! taping. http://www.wrestlezone.com/article.php?articleid=208558471

All of those are non-reliable sources. –Cheers, LAX 15:06, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Even though one of them is an audio interview. ::rollseyes:: Mshake3 (talk) 16:43, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

why carnt it be put dawn hes in wwe its on the wwe roster page 172.201.134.157 (talk) 23:34, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Ron has been making alot of apperences in dark matches for wwe before Raw and Smackdown.Add it he's a wwe manJoe ferst (talk) 23:40, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Here are some websites that tell about it.... http://www.wrestling-online.com/news/News_9/Ron_Killings_wrestles_dark_match_at_RAW.shtml http://www.wrestlinginc.com/news/2008/326/ron_killings_319975.shtml http://www.tv.com/ron-killings/person/111877/summary.html http://www.wrestling101.com/101/newsitem/5421/ Joe ferst (talk) 23:48, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Wow, do you guys not understand that those sites are not reliable and dark matches are not official debuts, as it could be a one time thing, we all know he is with WWE but it can't be added until a official source states it.3L VaK3r0 00:21, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Well what in the world is a reliable source? We are not stupid and we all know its true. I saw hime in a dark match!!!! Joe ferst (talk) 00:33, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

The reason the real truth can't be stated is because we all seem to be stuck in the late 80s, where people didnt know what was going on. I think people have to realise that those who say RK in dark matches arent lying, and perhaps that alone is worth a mention, I mean if you look at a soccer players page, there are links to rumours from the most dubious sources, so something which is commonly agreed on here should be fine, but it's the stubborn people who would like to control the article, who think that until Vinny Mac wears it on a T-Shirt in the middle of the ring, then we cant write anything. 81.110.36.3 (talk) 18:35, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Well WP:PW has a stricter policy, if WP:SOCCER doesn't have a strict policy, that is their problem, but Wikipedia is not a Crystal Ball. There is no reliable source that states the Killings is in WWE, a reliable source is WWE.com/TNA.com/ESPN.com/or WWE Affiliated Websites. Wrestlezone/PW Headlines/Pro Wrestling Scoops411 Mania/PW Insider/etc. are not reliable sources.20:04, 21 April 2008 (UTC)~SRS~

Then why is it sourced on other articles? Also, surely the sight of him is more proof than we need? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.110.36.3 (talk) 15:33, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Sites like those are in other articles for results, not for reporting news, which Wikipedia is not. Also, even if you did sight him, that is not reliable, you need a reliable source to back it up.~SRS~ 22:01, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Would taking a picture of him in the ring suffice, or would you be of the opinion that it is not dated? He will be on television in the next few weeks anyway, and I think the wrestling editors need to think a little about the way this sort of thing has been dealt with, I know some people dont want it to be "spoiled" for them, in the case of build-up vignettes, but anything that is common knowldge, should be on here, and this is exactly what I just mentioned. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.110.46.203 (talk) 20:57, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Truco, they've got a point. If several websites state it, and if a user claims to have seen him, then it should be posted. But, if WrestleZone.com ain't a reliable source, then what the hell is? WWE.com would be, but it doesn't post dark matches on its website! So, what's the deal? THE $R$ Habla!^Hancock 02:45, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

I myself have not done a review of the websites listed as sources. For he record, WP:RS is the policy used to determine if a website is reliable or not. I encourage everyone involved to read over this policy (again). Cheers, -The Hybrid- 02:48, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

I have bigger issues with this. It lists him as signed to the wwe but it isnt sourced, and it isnt mentioned in the main article itself. Sourcing would be nice.67.52.102.250 (talk) 21:23, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Very good point. I've removed it. Thank you. Gavyn Sykes (talk) 21:26, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

hear hes gonna be on SD

There is talk all around Ron Killings is debut in wwe tv on 7/11/08 on SmackDown under his TNA Name Ron "The Truth" Killings because TNA didn't copyright the name. —Preceding unsigned comment added by InfernoAdrenaline (talk • contribs) 14:58, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Source? Plus no speculation please.--SRX^--LatinoHeat 15:07, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

No it's true, it's not because TNA didn't trademark the name it's because Ron Killings is his REAL name. I went to a RAW show and Killings wrestled some jobber in a dark match, the name he went under was Ron "The Truth" Killings. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.47.241.20 (talk) 16:48, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

But rumor has it that the WWE is going to be using the name R-Truth for Killings http://www.wrestlinginc.com/news/2008/722/matt_hardy_332852.shtml so they can trademark it —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.47.241.20 (talk) 01:43, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Found a potential source on Dark matches for WWE

On the Nick Nemeth Article - On May 12, 2008 he wrestled under the name Nick Metro and lost in a dark match to Ron Killings

Ron Killings' New Ring name

On this weeks episode of Smackdown vintages began running hyping the debut of R-Truth, the new ring name of Ron Killings. http://www.pwinsider.com/ViewArticle.php?id=32290&p=1 http://www.wrestlinginc.com/news/2008/722/matt_hardy_332852.shtml http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=72784695

Return To WWE

I just removed the information about his WWE return, the info can be added back when he is officially advertised for a return (after this weeks smackdown airs) or when he makes his official tv return. Edgehead5150 (talk) 03:13, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Well the dark matches count and I am glad they are mentioned. Kieranburke1 (talk) 04:09, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

Why R-Truth

I'm a big Ron Killings fan but i dont like R-Truth WHY that name —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.26.227.177 (talk) 18:59, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, wikipedia is not a forum. Gavyn Sykes (talk) 19:02, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

Can someone get a different pic

The current picture of R Truth is bad. Is it possible to get a new one, please.
