ProWrestling.net is reporting that WWE officials have soured on R-Truth, aka Ron Killings. The Truth entered WWE with a series of video packages and a lot of hype, and was met with warm fan response. After seeing the fan reaction, there was even talk within WWE that he could be the next ‘chosen one.’ However, WWE officials have quickly turned cold on his in-ring performances. His push has been stalled because they feel that his basic wrestling skills are limited.
Word going around is that management feels he should improve in the ring and even though he can hit the flashy spots, he needs to go back and work on the basics.

Why do they push Cena then?
Is it just me or does anyone else think the WWE works to acquire all this excellent talent and then all of a sudden doesn't like them or know what to do with them.

what I don't get it is that R-Truth has had no camera time to develop a character or cut a promo. He just comes out and does random matches and says "Whassup?" He needs to get a storyline and cut some real promos so fans have a reason to emotionally invest in him.
Cena got over because he started doing his funny rapping promos and whatnot. R-Truth has to do something creative with his promos and get the time to cut a promo to do it lol.

WWE doesnt actually want a black champion, they just want a champion who acts black. Just like Booker T said, when he was training to be a pro wrestler, he had to be 10x better than everyone just to make it in the business because of the color of his skin. It's pretty said when you think about it.

Like actually... They push Cena because he has a good grasp on the basic fundamentals of a match and he gathered this by honing his craft in OVW for so long... Cena also, like R-Truth, is charismatic, extremely talented on the mic and can put the flashy spots in where it's needed... |

Cena will never be known as a great wrestler. A great entertainer, but his wrestling ability is pretty much non-existent. |

Killings has never BEEN a good wrestler to begin with...he's done the same moves since his K-QUICK days and seems just as green/lame now as back then  : And anyone who's seen him cut a promo in TNA knows keep that man AWAY from a mic!!!!! ps Being a former MC Hammer dancer why not put him on Dancing with the Stars and get WWE more main stream coverage ;D |

Not surprising because it seems like he's been losing more lately (at least I think). I wish he would still get a push, but I still want Shelton Benjamin to be the next one to get a huge push, not Killings. Although I really doubt that'll ever happen for Shelton.

Heck, when he was training to when he was actually brought up on SmackDown was only TWO years. |

Ignoring all the idiocy that came after this (namely the "ZOMG Cena Suxx!" and "ZOMG RACISZMS!" nonsense)...
R-Truth has still got a long way to go, but he's still pretty young so he might get there. The guy hasn't had any great (or even very good) matches yet and he moves awkwardly in the ring sometimes, so not pushing him too hard is a good thing at the moment.

What you guys are failing to realize is that it's not his ability to wow the crowd that they're sour on. It's his non-ability to carry out the basic parts of a wrestling match. This means tie ups, head locks, tests of strength, shoulder blocks, working opponents over in the corner and things of that nature. Anyone who knows ROn Killings knows that he's never done anything more run aroung the ring and do various moves that just look pretty because he spinns around at the end of them. |
