Eddie Kingston invades ROH!; About fucking time.

So I got home, and I saw this in the ROH results so far:

Vulture Squad vs.Aries and Danielson is up now.Eddie Kingston is in the crowd and has bought a ticket and is harassing the ROH students.Teamwork defeats Vulture Squad when Kingston is distracting J-Train and Ruckus which allows Aries to put the Horns Of Aries on Jigsaw for the win.

My first thought was, "FUCK YEAH!". There's a lot of things they can do here, and two obvious ones come up. Kingston vs Ruckus based on how Kingston waited for his opportunity and his boy Ruckus never bothered to put in a word for him when Kingston got ruckus bookings places. OR...they "steal" my idea that I'm a doing in my "simno Books ROH 2008" project in Book This! (cheap plug) with Kingston being pissed along with others that Jigsaw was forced to take off his mask, spitting on the tradition of wrestling that both Jig and Eddie were raised into.

Basically, if you don't think King in ROH is good, you might be a communist bastard. Or maybe I'm pretty sure I don't want to watch wrestling with you, or something in between those points.

Hmm, well I don't like Kingston, I just can't stand him, haven't seen anything of his post '06, but what I've seen, can't stand him. I don't know why, maybe it's how he talks, I just can't stand him.

The way he talks is like his best attirbute. I look forward to Kingston and hope he is booked well. Should be intersting to see how he fits in.

and the Hero vs Kingston match from the TPI is tremendous. I like Kingston in the brawls generally more than other stuff he does but overall I am fan of the guy for sure.

You might think so, but I hate it when guys get all close to the camera and speak where you can see their teeth. I hated a few CZW promos he did where you could see his yellowish, crooked teeth and his stupid new england accent, I honestly can't stand those accents. I couldn't stand it when Joe would put his nose right up to the camera and continually lick his lips and say "so ya see *insert opponent's name*" I just don't like the way he looks or talks, he could be the best in the world and I probably wouldn't like him. Just like I can't stand Teddy Hart.

I think his best trait is the conviction which he portrays in his promo. You really get suckered into believing he's this city scumbag who only gives a fuck about himself.

Yea, maybe he's working me, who knows, but I normally fast-foreward through his promos after about 30 seconds because I just can't stand it.

I've been shitting on ROH since the year started and now they turn around and do something awesome like bringing back Shelley and Sabin and now this. Despite it being overdue and whatever, I've become a huge fan of King over the past year and I can't wait to see what they do with him.

What little I do know about the guy, I'd put him in a mask vs mask match against Delirious. If Kingston wins, Delirious has to demask, if Delirious wins, Kingston has to put one on. Or at least a mouthguard.

In all seriousness, what I'd do is have the Hangm3n start to crumble. A power struggle ensues between Whitmer and Pearce, with Whitmer even stealing Fagadorn from him. Albright is stuck having to make a decision.

You get all this turmoil and it comes down to a match between Whitmer and Pearce, Kingston costs Whitmer the match and sides with Albright and Pearce. Hagadorn, stays with Whitmer.


Kingston comes in and forcefully takes over the group. Not violently, but with presense and cutting off Pearce's promos. Albright is sort of a lackey at this point. Kingston sort of becomes Jimmy Jacobs at this point. He has a beef with the ROH society, but in a different, much less emo way. Kingston can be compared to Ras Al Ghul in that he has good intentions (bring respect and honor back to ROH) but he goes about it all wrong. He basically beats and abuses people. His relationship with Pearce is like Josh Beckett and Curt Schilling, Pearce can still go, but he realizes that Kingston is better. As for Whitmer and Hag, they're drinking buddies. Kind of like in the movie "Never Back Down" Whitmer is the good fighter and Hagadorn looks up to him. Hagadorn and Whitmer aren't a stable or even a tag team, more like wrestler/manager because I wouldn't wanna add anymore stables. Because of their similar goals, AOTF will at times, work with the new Hangm3n. At some point, I'd like to see something like AOTF/Hangm3n vs Briscoes/Vulture Squad/Whitmer where at some point, Jacobs is killing people with a railroad spike on one side and Whitmer is killing people on the other and they square off.

I'm not sure where I was trying to go with this in the beginning, but I guess it's alright and since I typed it, I'm going to post.

I think ROH is smart enough to know that nobody gives a large portion of a shit about the H3, and people are hyped enough about Kingston that they wouldn't do that. Seriously man, people who don't really care about ROH a lot these days are fucking excited.

Eddie and Jimmy NEED to fight at some point, just to determine who the better brawler is. Also, I really want Kingston/Dragonson, and a longer Kingston/Claudio match.

I've come up with my selling point on Kingston. He's like the best possible combination of the three Founding Fathers of ROH in Joe, Punk, and Homicide.

He's a crazy violent ghetto brawling motherfucker.
He's a fantastic striker and cumulative seller, and builds drama extrememly well and can center his offense around chops and forearms if he needs to.
He's a fantastic promo, and can be a tremendous announcer as well, drawing on wells of charisma and passion to make you care about what he's doing.

Also, he wears a flag on his trunks so that covers Gibson too.

Joe, Punk, and.....Homicide?

K, Cide has done a lot for ROH, but I wouldn't call him a founding father. Maybe one of the hip hop guys with Joe (yes, Joe thinks he's black sometimes) but come on, Low Ki, Dragonson, probably even Daniels, those guys are more founding fathers than Cide.

Give me 5 matches to sell me on Kingston.

Edit: and promos, I've seen those on youtube and they make me laugh. Like his promo before tournament of death 4, thought he was hysterical, but he wasn't supposed to be.
