I’ve said many times that there are a few people in this industry for whom I have unlimited respect, love and admiration for. @RonKillings is at the very top of that list.

An incredible, timeless performer with an unmatched ability to entertain and bring a smile to anyone he…

I love @RonKillings

It’s guaranteed joy when he’s a part of a segment.. He’s also my dad’s favorite WWE Superstar of all time.

No one made me laugh backstage more than Ron. I’ve known this man for 13 years. He treated me like a brother from the very first day. Never saw him in a bad mood. A man who spread kindness and joy every chance he could. https://t.co/YBO8gaGEfN

You're an amazing talent and an even better person. Go enjoy your life unc!

— Ricochet (@KingRicochet) June 1, 2025

I’m going to take that as a huge compliment, although it’s untrue. R Truth is beloved, Ricochet is hated. You need both.

The number of times I’ve been on a card with Ron and he was one of the most over performers on the card – even if it was during a time when he wasn’t being featured on TV – I can’t even count.

One of the funniest and best out there ! https://t.co/FUYuBRwrWq

This is truly the end of an era. Working with @RonKillings was always a real treat. One of the most entertaining to ever do it. The skit we did with @TheMikeRallis at the @OriginalFunko HQ was one of the most fun moments of my career. https://t.co/SKstTK9xEI https://t.co/h9qymgyy1E

Thank you for everything you’ve done for the business, the doors you opened and being a real OG to the whole locker room. Taught me a lot about the game and how to navigate this business. Ron Killings is timeless! 🙏🏾✊🏾 https://t.co/SIrS3UzDQu pic.twitter.com/FQU2yWT0kx

I love R-Truth so much! Nobody’s presence on TV made me smile, or laugh more than his.
