Biography:
The Indy darling, there's no way around this, but, Kingston is probably one of the best talkers in the business right now: he's one of a few who can suck a audience into the story of his promos while making it all seem 100% real and raw, which is a talent many simply don't have. You could make the argument that his best years were wasted wrestling in the black hole of talent that was CHIKARA and as such missed out on the big boom of indie wrestling that came and went, but he's made the best of his career and has had some pretty solid matches over the years, capable of doing brutal bouts but also carefully constructed slow paced bouts akin to a Kings Road style, which isn't a coincidence considering his heavy references to such through his varied moveset. Top seller as well, guy can make all sorts of dodgy moves look brutal and painful, and he sells every bit of damage taken over time as well, not just for like 30 seconds before defaulting back to normal. One would say that his actual in-ring work is probably his weakest attribute as he's never been in great shape but he's really looked rather unflattering the last year or so, and it shows with how slow and plodding he can be, especially in matches that go long. He's still a great hand, but age is clearly taking a toil on him and he's not the wrestler he was in his younger years: either he works with that or not is up to him. He had his fun in AEW, but now Ortiz, Santana and Kingston have decided that it's time for a new venture.

Biography:
A great tag team that has worked for some of the best independent companies as well as big name companies. Their time with Impact was a great run but of course got more exposure once coming to AEW & aligning themselves with Chris Jericho and the Inner Circle. In most opinions was the best tag team in impact at one time. Check out some of the matches with Homicide and Hernandez. Santana & Ortiz play so well with each other, which makes them one of the best tag teams today and deadly with Kingston by their side.
