In subsequent months, Killings feuded with Sports Entertainment Xtreme before turning heel once again by attacking Jarrett on March 19, 2003. He later introduced Nelson Knight as his bodyguard, but soon turned face once more.
In May and June 2003, Killings began teaming with B.G. James and Konnan, and in July 2003 the trio formed a face stable known as the 3Live Kru. The Kru first wrestled as a unit on August 13, 2003, defeating the Disciples of the New Church (Sinn, Vampire Warrior and Devon Storm).
The Kru soon went after the NWA World Tag Team Championship. On November 26, the Kru defeated Simon Diamond, Johnny Swinger and Glenn Gilberti in a six man tag team match with the vacant NWA World Tag Team Championships on the line. The NWA World Tag Titles were thus held by all three members of the Kru until January 28, 2004, when they were defeated by Redshirt Security (Kevin Northcutt and Legend) in Nashville.
After several abortive attempts to regain the tag titles, the Kru began supporting Killings's bid to become NWA World Heavyweight Champion. On June 9, NWA World Heavyweight Champion Jeff Jarrett took part in a "3Live Kru Challenge" which saw him face Konnan, James and Killings in three subsequent matches. Jarrett defeated Konnan in a strap match and James in a "trailer park trash match" (hardcore match), but lost to Killings in a "Ghetto Justice match".
On May 19, 2004, Killings faced NWA World Heavyweight Champion A.J. Styles, Raven and Chris Harris in a four way title match. He won the bout, becoming a two-time NWA World Heavyweight Champion, after Jeff Jarrett hit Styles with a guitar. His reign lasted until June 2, when Jarrett defeated him in a King of the Mountain match which also included Harris, Styles and Raven. The Kru went on to feud with Jarrett's mercenaries, the Elite Guard (Chad Collyer, Hotstuff Hernandez and Onyx), and on July 14, the 3Live Kru, Dusty Rhodes and Larry Zbyszko defeated Jarrett, Ken Shamrock and the Elite Guard in a ten man tag team match.
The Kru began feuding with Team Canada in August 2004, and at the inaugural three hour TNA pay-per-view, Victory Road 2004, on November 7, 2004, in Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida, Konnan and James defeated Team Canada members Bobby Roode and Eric Young for the NWA World Tag Team Championships. After Konnan suffered an injury, Killings and James defended the titles against Team Canada at Turning Point 2004 on December 5, but lost following interference from the injured Team Canada member Johnny Devine.
Throughout early-2005, the Kru feuded with Michael Shane and Kazarian, Team Canada and The Naturals. Dissension arose after James' former tag team partner from the WWF, Billy Gunn, joined TNA as "The New Age Outlaw" and began trying to convince James' to reform their highly-successful tag team, the New Age Outlaws. Killings and Konnan feuded with The Outlaw and Monty Brown, with James' loyalties divided. Brown and The Outlaw, who had by now renamed himself "Kip James" as a psychological ploy, defeated Killings and Konnan at No Surrender 2005 on July 17, with James declining to help either team. Killings and Konnan became increasingly frustrated, at one point referring to themselves as the "2Live Kru", although Killings repeatedly attempted to act as a mediator between James and the irate Konnan. The two teams faced one another in a No Surrender rematch on August 14 at TNA Sacrifice, with James appointed guest referee by Director of Authority Larry Zbyszko, and James reaffirmed his loyalty to the Kru by attacking Kip, enabling Konnan to pin him and win the match. The Kru, apparently undivided, celebrated together following the match.
