ECW was getting the numbers SD gets rating wise at the time. It isn't like they lacked exposure in his stay or people weren't tuning in. He also made a handfull of ppvs. At the time ECW was only competing with The Shield and Rescue Me for top rated Tuesday night cable programs in primetime

Killings was on tv from like Novemeber when he showed up on heat to mania, so 5 months his whole first stint as he didn't really ever get back on there during the invasion and was released after the wwe had that big ass roster. Road Dogg also getting popped for drugs canned his tv time. 3 years is giving him credit for developmental, which Morgan also did and you ignored
ECW was the #3 show. Always. Doesn't matter what type of ratings it got because nobody except the people contending for the title were ever on ppv. ECW was nothing. Comparing it to Smackdown even slightly is ludicrous. It was an "extra" show.

And regardless of how you want to count the number of months Morgan and KKwik were active on the main roster during their first stints, Killings still at least made enough of an impact to warrant WWE making mention of his previous stint as "KKwik" when he re-debuted as "R-Truth" when he returned. Even his new moniker was similar to his old one. Morgan won't get that kind of acknowledgement. They'll start him out fresh as if he was never there in the first place and with Ryback already doing the "unstoppable force" character, they're obviously not going that route with Morgan. If anything they'll start him on the next season of NXT and make vague mention of his success in "other promotions". Morgan was a lot more popular in TNA than Killings ever was or either of them were during their first stints in WWE. Morgan IS a TNA guy. Killings isn't.

Lil Jimmy say what? Have you not seen Killings whole TNA career? Killings was in TNA's greatest and most over stable. He was one of their most over multiple time hw champions. Morgan is damn good and will have a higher ceiling because of his size and non criminal past limiting him, but Killings was the bigger and more accomplished star for their TNA careers as a whole as TNA missed the ball with Morgan like they did with Brown

Yeah, Killings was the NWA World Champion at one point in TNA. Morgan's WWE tenure > K-Kwik's by a mile.

K-Kwiks tenure was a hell of alot longer than Morgans.

Also, won a belt, hardcore champ wasn't shit, but it was still a belt.

He was the champion twice, each reign less than a day at live events. Killing's debuted on the main roster in November of 2000, but by the February of 2001 the only show you'd see him on was Jakked, or possibly Heat. Morgan debuted in October of '03 and got injured in the '04 Rumble. He came back and had a bit of exposure with the stupid stuttering gimmick as Carlito's bodyguard in '05 for like 3 months. If anything the tenures were even, Kwik's definitely wasn't better.

Sunday, former TNA X-Division Champion Amazing Red had a tryout with WWE prior to the No Way Out pay-per-view in front of WWE officials.

F4Wonline.com is now reporting the tryout went well and WWE will likely be using Amazing Red in the Cruiserweight show that is rumored to take place for the WWE Network.

I'm surprised. But best of luck to him with this show.
