Potential Target Says He’s ‘Too Old’ For WWE

WWE

Kenny King has commented on the possibility of him signing with WWE, following his exit from TNA/IMPACT Wrestling.

As was previously reported,  King was granted his IMPACT release earlier this month.

This has of course led to speculation about King potentially joining both WWE and AEW.

The WWE speculation was in part fuelled by the fact that King featured on the 2002 season of WWE Tough Enough.

With King previously turning down WWE opportunities, it has been theorised that he’ll once again be a WWE target now he’s a free agent again.

King has now stated that he thinks he’s too old for WWE now.

When asked if WWE is still a goal for him on the Developmentally Speaking podcast, the 42 year old said:

“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”

A big clue that another independent star has joined WWE recently emerged, which you can read more about right here.
