Current Events

Ron Killings is still being reported as having signed a WWE contract. As there is no reliable source for anything of the sort, be prepared for his name to be continually added to the WWE Roster article, and information about his return being added to his article. There is also, apparently, an audio interview with Killings where he states he will be returning to WWE with his old K-Kwik gimmick. Recent SmackDown! taping spoilers indicate that Killings has already debuted under the name Kwik Killings in a Dark match. However, no reliable source for this information has been found yet.

Articles for Deletion

Current: NWA Australian Championship.
Kept: Lena Yada, Vicious and Delicious.
Deleted: Callum Sprit, WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2009, Road to WrestleMania Tournament, Gary Mei.

Collaboration of the Week

The article collaboration for March 3 through March 16 is Ric Flair. Please help to improve it to match the quality of an ideal Wikipedia professional wrestling related article. The next article for collaboration will be chosen on Sunday, March 16.
