After no-showing Sunday’s Turning Point pay-per-view there are no plans to bring Scott Hall back to TNA Wrestling.
There is nothing more on Sting’s status with TNA Wrestling other than he has not accepted the contract that TNA offered him for 2008. Sting was scheduled to work the upcoming TNA shows in Mexico; however, with them being cancelled he could be done with the company for good.
Mike Johnson is reporting that there are future plans for Ron Killings in TNA Wrestling. While we do not have the full details as to what the plans are, Johnson was able to confirm that his name was brought up in the most recent TNA creative meeting.
Johnson also reports that Rhino missed the Turning Point PPV due to a personal problem not an injury. He did suffer a sting to his neck several weeks ago though.
Brother Ray is another veteran who is getting rave reviews backstage despite his checkered locker room reputation. He has also been heavily involved in coming up with ideas for the Team 3D/X Division feud and is said to be willing to bend over backwards to make sure the X Division guys look good to their critics.

Too bad about Sting, honestly. He can still go when he wants too, and he's a decent name for TNA, but if he's done, so be it, at least it gives another main event slot for a young guy.

Well time to move Scott off my Fire Pro TNA roster. Can't really blame TNA though.

i am hoping the plans for killings include the newly signed consequences creed. i loved the truth and consequences match against the phenomeno.

I hope the future plans for Ron involve tagging with Consequences Creed and actual TV time.
Good for Brother Ray.

Brother Ray deserves the praise. Honestly, Team 3d is doing their best work in years and working with passion again...

I have to admit, as big a detractor I am of Team 3D in general, and Bubba Ray in specific, they are doing great work with Lethal, MCMG, and especially Johnny Devine. They've taken a 4th string jobber, and turned him into someone people actually give a crap about.

In the true style of TNA suddenly pushing people who have been off TV forever, Ron Killings will get a title shot for all 3 titles at 1 PPV.
In all seriousness I do not believe for a second that TNA has future plans for Killings. You know why? Because the last time they said that he was put into a 2 month program with PacMan Jones and once that was over he vanished from TV again.

When the whole 3d vs. X Division angle started, people were screaming "OMGz Dudleys is squashin XDivizion to meak them lookz bad!11" I think, if anything, they've finally found an angle that not only works for Team 3D, but gives the entire X Division some much needed attention.

The thing that saved that angle for me was them putting an X-Division guy with Team 3D. That was smart of them (never thought I'd say that). It saved the whole "we're bigger than you, blah blah blah" thing from ruining it for me. |

Because the last time they said that he was put into a 2 month program with PacMan Jones and once that was over he vanished from TV again. he hasn't been off of tv that long. they were probably figuring out exactly what to use him for. he will most likely be used in a tag team format with creed i believe. with all the tag team action going on in tna right at this moment they may be waiting for something to finish up. if that were the case they would be currently talking about exactly what their plan would be, as this report suggests. |

Hasn't Killings been working overseas, and that's the only reason they haven't used him after the Pac-Man team?

I can see Sting turning into TNA's Hogan or Austin, in that they trot him out for the really big stuff. |

Unlike either of those men, though, Sting has proven a willingness to put others over (hey, let's push Santino Marella week after week, then have Austin come out & give him a stunner! That'll get him over  ), can actually wrestle very well & is, y'know, entertaining! |
