Kenny King comments on potentially going to WWE.
Kenny King, 42, has had successful stints in TNA/IMPACT Wrestling and Ring of Honor. Among other accolades, he is a former TNA X-Division Champion and ROH World Television Champion. Though he competed on Tough Enough, he has never had a run in WWE.
Speaking with Bryan Asbury on Developmentally Speaking, King was asked whether WWE is still a goal for him.
“I think, in-ring, I think that I might be too old. Not might be. There’s been meetings about me, and I’m too old, so that’s fine. I feel like that’s kind of insane because everybody knows that pro wrestlers only hit their prime and get better at a certain age. But I feel like WWE is, if you haven’t been here by a certain time, I mean look what they tried to do to LA Knight. LA Knight and I were supposed to go in at the same time. I was at that time making way too much money at Ring of Honor to want to go and sign a developmental contract. But it worked out for him. But even then, he’s had to become undeniable. They tried to make him a manager, they changed his name, they took away everything that made him him until he left them absolutely no choice. So it’s kind of a silly mentality that they have there. But you never know, things can happen. When my in-ring career is done, there’s always a whole host of possibilities and things that could happen. But as far as that’s concerned, I guess I’m too old to wrestle for WWE, which is fine," King said.
When asked whether he’s too old to wrestle elsewhere, King replied, “I’m not to old to wrestle anywhere. That’s the beauty of pro wrestling. One man’s old guy is another guy’s superstar."
Fightful Select recently reported that King was granted his release from IMPACT Wrestling after he asked for it.
Joe Hendry recently called Kenny King one of the most underrated wrestlers in the business. Check out his comments here.
