3 potential MOTYCs if booked right. Can't wait.

And we don't even know the full card. If we can get Kenny King vs Sonjay Dutt in one of the qualifiers, that could be 4. All of the announced matches plus the Ultimate X should be stunningly good.

The only thing that scares me is the 9-Match card, that usually doesn't end well, especially with 4 matches that should get a whole lot of time. Hope one of these guys (looking at you, Flip Cassanova) gets squashed pretty easily.

Hopefully Dutt/King get quick wins over that scrub Flip and the black guy with an afro.

My people's,

First and foremost to all of my friends, Family and everyone riding with me on this one thank you. The love and support has been unreal. It doesn't matter if your'e a new Kenny King fan or you've been with your boy since tough enough. My passion for this sport reflects yours, and I will continue to bust my ass to give back the love you have shown me.

Second I would like to thank @ringofhonor for the opportunity To master my craft against some of the best wrestlers in the world. The last 4 years have been invaluable to my career. I have nothing but love and respect for the company that allowed me to find myself and grow as a wrestler.

Next, since the content of my character has been called into question, just ask about me. My integrity and HONOR has always been above reproach. But since they wanna talk bad about your boy, consider this...

(spoiler alert)

I was offered a contract extension, I had reservations about the parameters of the extension and effective my "free agent" option would be.

I gave a handshake agreement that I wouldn't do anything "screwy" with the belts. A la medusa.

I gave ROH information about every move that I made regarding working for @impactwrestling. Realistically they could have just found out when they saw my black ass walking down to the ring.

I was given a physical contact extension by ROH, which I respectfully declined to sign due to the reasons I stated above.

If I declined to sign an actual contract extension, how could anyone think there was a verbal agreement?

I took the biggest gamble of my career this weekend. So going into destination X tomorrow night I am prepared to put it all on the line. I am especially grateful to @tnadixie and @impactwrestling for giving me the opportunity to showcase my skills on a bigger stage. I was given an amazing opening and I took it. Ask Eminem how many chances you get to blow up. The world will watch tomorrow, and I got a bag full of fireworks. Tomorrow is coronation day.

Thank you.
Kenny King

Kenny King the dude seems cool in addition to being a great performer. I'm pulling for him tonight.

It's weird, but many of the best talents are in that Fatal 4-Way. Jigsaw is awesome, Mason Andrews seemed pretty good, Lars Only I'd sign to an OVW deal, his overselling is fabulous, and Dakota Darsow is awful... he was the worst qualifier last year and hasn't improved at all. Why they keep bothering with that scrub I can't understand.

Cassanova's Sin Cara 2.0, a lot of high-spots for no reason and no fluidity in his motion. He could have some potential, but with the way his carelessness broke Darsow's nose, that guy should be embarassed tonight. People say King is good, he obviously has mic skills, charisma, and some degree of star power, but I didn't really see much from him in the ring... but Dolph's says he's good, so he is. Rashad Cameron showed nothing, but Sonjay Dutt... Damn, has that guy improved. He was good before, now I hope he wins that belt.

Not digging King's ring skills huh Rain? Do you watch ROH at all, and did you not enjoy his match against Lars Only? I love his combination of size (relative to most of the X Division) and power while still presenting some high flying moves as well.

Joe compared him to Shelton Benjamin as did Seabs I think, it's pretty accurate IMO. Hopefully if nothing else he and Dutt stick around after Destination X.

I don't watch ROH at all, never really enjoyed their style tbh.

In the match with Only he didn't strike me as anything special, but there's only so much you can do in a five-minute match when you're that kind of a wrestler, especially when your best asset is the variety of matches you can have (just like Benjamin). He clearly brings star power to an X-Division starved of it since Aries left, so he should definitely get a contract based on that alone.

I trust you on this one, looking forward to seeing what he can do here in a little more than 30 minutes.

I don't know much about the other developmental associations, but is there a reason why Jigsaw goes by two different names? He wears the same ring gear at both places, but different names. Love the Jigsaw one because it fits his gear. Rubix doesn't make much sense. Anyway, his qualifying match was the first time I have seen him and loved the match. I am pulling for him. I'm also a sucker for high flying masked wrestlers.
