Why You Should Know Kenny King: You should know Kenny King because he might be in a WWE ring before long. He's definitely familiar with the company; he's an alumnus of Tough Enough. He's also got the skills and innate charisma that the WWE looks for. About the only thing he has working against him is his size.

King is one of the hottest properties in Ring of Honor at the present time. Despite his status as lackey to Austin Aries, he's garnered himself some key wins and accomplishments, not the least of which was breaking Jerry Lynn's neck and sidelining the former ROH Champion for months. They've teased dissention in the ranks between King and Aries, and who better to feud with King than the only guy to win the ROH World Championship more than once?

King has a bright future ahead of him in this business, and you're going to see more of him in ROH before he gets signed away by Titan Towers. I wouldn't be surprised if he wins the Television, Tag or World Championship (or all three) within the next 12 months.
