[5.0] "Professional wrestler brand wrestler. He's about as generic as it gets. He's athletic and has some cool moves but none of the charisma to make you care about them. He's also part of an infamous moment during the G1 Supercard during the pre-show rumble. He was booked, (by Delirious and/or Bully Ray) to do the "oh gosh you forgot I wasn't eliminated" bit which saw him come back in the ring and interrupt an electric Liger/Muta confrontation to unceremoniously dump them both over the top rope. You could make the claim that it was "for the heat, brother" but considering nothing ever came of this and Kenny continued to be boring, I'd say otherwise."

[7.0] "The upper midcarder that every company needs! He was never gonna be a top star but definitely a key player in ROH. Now that he's in IMPACT I hope to see him win title after title and put on bangers left, right, and centre!"

"[5.0]He peaked very early in his career and he has never evolved since then, I can't say single wise I have ever seen him grow he's just a great athlete who happened to be in pro wrestling."
Erdrick wrote on 09.08.2021:
[5.0] "Kenny King is perhaps the best example of a wrestler with great athletic talent and zero charisma, who has never done or said a single memorable thing to justify his continued presence in the wrestling business. The most inexplicable aspect of King's career is how often Ring of Honor and TNA have tried to make something of him despite the unending apathy of the fans, continually placing him in factions with far more popular wrestlers under the inevitably false hope that some of their glory will reflect onto him."

[8.0] "It took a while, but Kenny King has come into his own as a very versatile wrestler. He's definitely athletic, but recently he has amped up his game with stronger matches, and displaying personality and charisma that he had been previously lacking"

[7.0] "Extremely charismatic, a good talker, has a very good moveset. He probably has maxed his potential already since he is 39 currently, but he has been very entertaining in his Impact and ROH stints. Feel like he has been a very consistent wrestler, and would at least be worth a shot at NXT at this point, especially since he's an original Tough Enough competitor."

DanTalksRasslin wrote on 12.10.2015:
[7.0] "With a natural charisma and heelish swagger complimenting an offense comprising speed-based moves and hard-hitting strikes, King has made a name both as a singles and tag wrestler. King first appeared on the second season of WWE's Tough Enough, then rose through the ranks of the indy circuit before establishing himself as an ROH tag specialist. After leaving ROH while a reigning tag champ, King had a run in TNA where he mainly wrestled in the X-Division and was also a prominent member of the Beat Down Clan. Recently returned to ROH in a big way, reforming the All-Night Express with Rhett Titus and immediately entering the Tag Title fray. Whether he remains a tag specialist or eventually breaks out on his own, King will certainly continue adding to his personal highlight reel."

[8.0] "King is one heck of an athlete, and he's had stints in TNA and Full Impact Pro before moving on to his current home, ROH. Having trained under Al Snow, Chavo Guerrero and Nick Bockwinkel, King has vastly improved since his stint on the WWE reality show and could be a nice addition to the WWE's mid-card scene."
ADouble wrote on 29.11.2013:
[8.0] "King has been extremely impressive in the opportunities he's been given, and I wish TNA would make better use of his talent. He's extremely athletic and reminds me of a more charismatic Shelton Benjamin, and he could easily be on the faces of the X Division if given a chance."

[9.0] "Ever since I started watching ROH in March 2011, I followed Kenny King's career and I always loved his work in the ring! He has such great athleticism and agility like nothing I've ever seen before from a light heavyweight/cruiserweight wrestler and that says a whole lot! I always appreciated him along with Rhett Titus having good rivalries in the tag team division in ROH as well with the likes of The Briscoes and Wrestling's Greatest Tag Team and putting on some good matches with them. But ever since he came to TNA, dare I say, I think he's better now than he ever was in the time I saw him in ROH and I know that may be somewhat controversial to say, but that's what I honestly think! Even though he's not the champion, he's pretty much at the top of the X-Division right now and rightfully so because he's like the main X-Division guy that you want to see take on the main eventers somewhere down the line and he has already faced off one of them in Rob Van Dam! I don't know if he'll actually take the X-Division title from RVD, but I'm sure he'll definitely be the X-Division champion one day before he hopefully goes on to bigger and better things in his career!"
