Kenny King done with ROH

[The Shepard]

Well multiple sites have picked up on the story of Kenny King. For those who missed it, he appeared on last nights live Impact Wrestling beating Lars Only(Johnny Yuma) in a X Division Title tournament match. ROH released a statement saying that King was working on a verbal agreement with them since late June. Long story short, King wanted to be able to work companies outside of ROH, they gave him a little wiggle room on that, but now feel he violated his hand shake agreement by appearing on Impact. In the official ROH statement they say in no uncertain terms that they will no longe do business with Kenny King. No update given on the ROH tag titles held by King and Rhett Titus.

sort of on the fence about this. On one hand, he wasn't technically under contract with ROH, BUT your word can be your strongest bond sometimes. I can understand him not being totally happy with his situation and wanting a better shot someplace else. Not sure TNA will be better than ROH, but if he has a contract promising him stuff in TNA, then ok. Sort of feel like ROH dropped the ball here relying on King's word to stay on. Doesn't seem to make King look too good just showing up on TNA without ROH seeming to believe he'd do that to them? Like King isn't really trustworthy?! But I don't know him personally and can't really judge him there. Or blame him for wanting to better his career with other opportunities. He did look good in his match on TNA, so who knows if it was a bad decision for him right now.

seems kinda dumb on ROH's part to put the tag titles on a guy with a contract about to expire

I've never understood feds doing that honestly.

Kenny may be getting some company in TNA soon, hope ROH has Rhett drop the titles first


In an interesting turn of events, Kenny King decided to add fuel to the fire by posting a tweet that will no doubt get Ring of Honor fans riled up while leaving TNA fans to wonder whether one of ROH's most popular tag teams will reunite on Impact. King posted the following on his official twitter account:

"As far as I'm concerned, #ANX is NOT dead. Rhett is my brother, and us not working together in one place is not the end."

For what it's worth, he also reportedly changed out of the "Kenny King" trunks and put on his ANX gear right before the Impact match. That seemed to be another statement.
