From: MrGreenonion | #327 Also yeah pretty surprising about Kenny King, but I wonder if that was the best career move he could have made. Being in TNA probably pays better than being in ROH, at least as long you make it onto television regularly, but I feel like it's easier to get to WWE from ROH than from TNA, and that's where the real money is. Maybe he didn't feel good about his WWE chances or he decided to take the best offer he had now instead of holding out for a better one that may never come, but this may be as far as he's ever able to get now. Certainly the manner in which he left ROH can't be winning him too many fans among corporate types anywhere.
He already had WWE ties from being a contestant on Tough Enough Season Two.
They signed Shaniqua and Jackie Gayda over him in the final vote.
I would hold a grudge too. <_<

From: Masato_Tanaka | #323 So uhh, to a guy who barely watches TNA and pretty much never watches ROH....
What's this "champ from another company showing up" business about now?
ROH Tag Team Champion Kenny King's contract expired so he was on a verbal deal while testing the waters with all intentions to inform ROH with due warning if he found something better.
He shows up on Impact tonight to wrestle (and advance) in the X-Division Tournament totally without ROH's consent.
ROH has now cut ties with him entirely and the Tag Titles are now in limbo.

I know the sample size is very small, but I feel like this is the 3rd biggest "Champion of one company shows up on another show without permission" ever, after Madusa and Mike Awesome.
Still ahead of Haku!

His response was that the deal he had shaken hands on and agreed to in principle "seemed fair at the time", but "others" had told him it was not, so he did not intend to honor it.
BTW I can pretty much take an educated guess as to the identity of "others."
His initials are A.A.

It's four singles matches consisting of some combinations of:
Zema Ion Kid Kash Douglas Williams Sonjay Dutt Rashad Cameron (Sabian/BLK Jeez) Flip Casanova (Flip Kendrick) Kenny King ???
The "???" spot will be filled by a PPV-opening four way between Rubix (Jigsaw), Lars Only (Johnny Yuma), Mason Andrews (Scorpio Sky), and Dakota Darsow.
Then after those four singles matches, the winners move on to an Ultimate X match for the vacant title.
So really all we need now is the four singles matchups.

Dixie Carter @TNADixie Impressed by all the X division talents we saw. Those who didn't advance are back at ppv in last chance fourway for 8th spot in tourney.
RUBIX! RUBIX! RUBIX!
The world may not be ready for a Zema Ion vs. Rubix vs. Kenny King vs. Rashad Cameron Ultimate X match.

I'm gonna guess that just for viewing consistency's sake (since these aren't meant to be retrospectives or anything) that everything pre-widescreen is excluded.
We'll see when they do the HBK set!

I feel bad about making this joke because it's in horrible taste if he genuinely needs help, but holy crap bringing back a manic-depressive off-the-rails Mike Adamle to be GM for a week would be tremendous.

I imagine it kinda like WWE Download format where as a clip rolls for a few seconds Rock comments on it and then it cuts back to him for punchlines.
*AJ Climbs to the top rope* Rock: "So AJ's gonna throw herself onto the wood..." *Cut back to Rock doing his hip-bucking motion* Rock: "Whooa there big fella." *Cut back to the clip* Rock: "...When Daniel Bryan intervenes"
Etc.

WWE should at the very least have Rock doing the "Last time on Monday Night Raw" summaries prior to every show via satellite with him telling us what happened and quipping on it as only Rock can.

-JBL also posted on Twitter, commenting on the Alberto Del Rio attack on Sheamus from Smackdown. He wrote: ""Hey @wwe Next Alberto del Rio will be sitting backstage with Ron playing cards and drinking beer! #felony #theft #paymeroyalties"

The fact that we can get away with 20 hours a week makes this very enticing. If it was full-time I'd reject, but this still leaves 4 days off every week and sub-8-hour days when you do work if you can find a job with flexible enough hours.
So given that it still gives me over half of my time to be happy, I'll do it for $2 Million.
