ROH released a 10 questions feature with Kenny King, where he talked about his upcoming match with Jushin Liger and his most embarrassing moment in wrestling…

On Facing Jushin Liger: I don’t know if I’ve ever been more honored at just a match announcement. I can’t imagine the pride and honor and humility I will feel just being able to step in the ring with a legend like Liger one on one. I am proud to be the one that Jushin “Thunder” Liger passes on the torch to. It’s not like physically he has a chance to beat me, so I will be honored to pin him after a spirited exhibition. I mean, come on, it’s not like he has a choice here.

On His Most Embarrassing Moment: My second-ever ROH match was in Chicago Ridge, Illinois. It was “Man Up.” I was in a tag team match with my partner Chasyn Rance against BJ Whitmer and Brent Albright. Chasyn had been getting his butt kicked pretty good. He found an opening and tagged me. I was fresh so I was doing my thing, sticking and moving, popping the big guys and keeping my distance. I found myself on the apron and readied myself to perform a springboard blockbuster on one of my opponents, and never quite stuck the springboard and crashed into the ring in front of a tough Chicago crowd. Yikes!
