Low-Ki
 

Low Ki (a.k.a. "Kaval") is expected to debut soon on SmackDown and begin a feud with Rey Mysterio. He will debut under a mask and programmed as someone from Mysterio's past in Mexico. Officials first discussed the idea early last year, but plans were thwarted when the former TNA X Division champion suffered a serious leg injury. (source: PWInsider.com)

Here are some highlights from Ki's career for those not familiar with him...

him against danielson reffed by ken shamrock was an amazing match

Though I'm not all that thrilled he'll be under a mask, the fact that I'll get to see Ki on WWE Programming mask or not and having a feud with Rey Mysterio is pretty damn sweet. Hopefully his moveset stays intact and we see plenty of GHETTO STOMPS!!

Yea, I guess some people might be against it because it's not his normal gimmick but it gets him on TV with Mysterio, who has been red hot throughout the last 12+ months.

Be pretty cool if this feud got over big and led to a mask v mask match, maybe at Mania? Obviously Low Ki would probably lose but then he could go on without his mask and start to add in his usual schtick.

No way in hell he's going to last if he works as stiff as he usually does.

Mask is a bad idea. Hope he loses is ASAP.

That it was! His matches against Aries at The Future is Now, and KENTA at Final Battle 05 are 2 of my favs. I could mention a lot more, but I'll keep it simple with the 2.

He probably wouldn't have lasted in FCW if he worked as stiff as he usually does.

As long as he kicks Rey's head off, I don't care if he's wearing a dress.

Yeah but if he gets in the ring with a veteran and they start to complain he could be fucked.

Yea, no way HHH is going to take one of those stomps lol. I'd love to see a Low Ki v John Morrison match where the stipuation is "futbol rules"..no hand attacks. Irish whips fine, european uppercuts fine, anything having to do with the torso is fine..but no punches, no sleepers, etc. Something new.

Isn't the whole point of developmental to learn the "WWE style" ? He'll be fine.

This.

Hate to tell you Jaun but whatever information you got saying that Kaval aka Low-Ki was going to debut on Smackdown was incorrect, I was just watching the Superstars stream on Justin.TV and he just debuted against the Hurricane, wasn't Burchill under the mask, the guy was too skinny and the mannerisms match Low Ki's in the ring. Look's like he's going to the C-Show instead of Friday Nights.

No, that was definitely Burchill.

The post clearly says "credit: PWInsider.com"

lol it would have sucked to work with Low Ki pre WWE, his moves look WAY too stiff. Wouldn't even want to deal with that even if I was trained to.

K lets compare:

Burchill:

and

Kaval

http://www25.brinkster.com/hbkid718/wcwf/LowKi.jpg

The dude that was just on Superstars, looked more like Kaval, he did not have a gut and was very defined narrow in the waist and abs...so sorry Naitch....it definately was NOT Burchill

1. The guy did have a gut and was tanner than Low-Ki
2. Low-Ki has a tattoo on his left shoulder. The "masked man" did not.

The video is already posted on WWE.com. Go check it out.

Clearly, GiimmickInfringed is smarter than everyone on the internet.

you're free to feel that its Burchill, but I disagree and say that its not....Tatoo's can be removed and covered up with makeup my friend....but i'm not gonna feed my own ego or your's for that matter.....we'll see who it is...you say its Burchill, I say its Kaval....the other reason that leads me to believe its not Burchill, that is NOT the mask that he has used in his incarnation of his Ripper Gimmick.

Why on earth would they cover up Kaval's tattoo???

I simply made an observation Juan...but you love to have a cynnical asshole response to anything I have to say...so feel free to edit away like you always do. Abuse of power...Abuse of Power....

You must be a troll. That is the only way this makes sense.

maybe he chose to have it surgically removed, but any response I have will seem farfetched and ego feeding on myself to you....so lets begone and I will drop the subject....Naitch and Juan are the GODS when it comes to Wrestling Knowledge and TPWW

Feel free to go fuck yourself any time. The last thing we need is another Kane86 around here and thats where I see you going.

there is a difference between having an opinion and "internet trolling". Its a known and obvious fact that Juan has a history of editing my posts. If I was trolling I would be provoking everyone and inciting attention by simple and idiotic catch phrases, insults, obsenities, and other immature one liners...you sir obviously have NO idea truly what is considered a Troll.

Dude there is no way you are for real. You couldn't possibly care this much about something you are so clearly wrong about.

He edits your posts because you are a moron/troll though.

don't know who Kane86 is and don't really care...i'm not heading anywhere near whatever he is...and thank you for the kinds words, i'll be sure to do that right after you fuck yourself first.

Just sayin. :)

The only time I ever edited your posts was when you constantly posted your sig in every post, you fucking lunatic.

again you have no idea what a troll is.

Prob gonna sig this.

that ghetto stomp looks like it hurts. i hope wwe doesn't slip up with him!

Well it's usually someone who purposely acts like a douchebag to garner a reaction and get attention.

So either you're a troll (which I think you'd rather be in this situation) or you are just naturally a douchebag. And as Juan said... a total lunatic hahaha

i'm the lunatic...you are the one who sits around with nothing better to do but look for what i'm posting on each and ever single thread it seems....I am nowhere near the level as Dale says as a troll or a lunatic as you called me.

You really need to find a hobby and go police real idiots like CWK and HBPunk who are the real trolls. It would seem you're the fucking lunatic...but i'm sure i'll get the hammer dropped on me for calling you the same thing you did to me...cause you're probably good at pulling the double standard.

Dude, do you get out much? lol

You're the one flipping out over nothing and I don't have anything better to do? Yeah ok guy

only retorting in the same fashion to each and everyone who extended me the same courtesy :y:

lol modding a forum isn't exactly time consuming.

If you weren't such a knob I don't think you'd have to worry about people being assholes.

Except no one is getting as riled up as you are. You flipped out the same way when I told you to stop spamming and to stop posting your sig. Do you have a persecution complex?

Fine. Here, GI. Check out the video and tell me what you think.

sigh.....concedes.....this ain't worth it

ewwwwww don't click that link.

Good example of his more recent work.

so even fcw is better than wwe. wtf

Better than Raw, yes.

Do they have wrestling like that on smackdown?

yes, they have actual wrestling matches on ECW and Smackdown.

i watch ecw, i just can't really watch smackdown all that much.

i wish you still did that match of the week thing.

I still think this match is better than a lot of ecw or smackdown matches.

I love that Matthews actually called the dropkick the "John Woo"

why do they keep saying "Kawal?"

it's Kaval, his new name in FCW/WWE.

ok I just watched the Superstars match. The guy in the mask is clearly about 230+ pounds. Nowhere near the same build as Low-Ki.

Senshi, Low-Ki, Kaval, hell why not just call him Lui Kang Jr.???

And get the guy who voiced the video game to do ring announcing for him... "Lui Kang wins".

I have to admit though, that "Warrior's Way" finisher, the double stomp to the chest he did in TNA was freaking awesome, made me believe it hurt.

As much as I was hoping for Low Ki to debut on RAW, I’d be down with that and love to see him kicking the crap out of Rey Mysterio.

Low Ki with a mask wouldn't have been the end of the world.

I think the mask could work in his favor. If they drop the ball with him in this gimmick, he at least can be repackaged without the mask easily.

(After watching ECW.)

Bringing in Kaval to feud with Rey is a great idea. I couldn't really think of a better match he could have in WWE right now. It is so rare to see Rey go against a guy his size, not have to play David. So it should be really cool.

That match was fucking awesome. If Kaval uses that style of standing submissions and stiff kicks I could see him doing well against the big guys in WWE. It's the perfect offence and defence for a guy so small. That would be awesome to see him choke out Cena and then stomp him from the top, that would be awesome.

I got an idea for bringing in Low Ki. Something I’d love to see is to pull a Goldberg of sorts. Let Ki go all of 2010 with getting counted out, disqualified, or pinned or tapping out once. Let him tear through people and earn some wins.

As much as I can't stand Low Ki, I hate Triple H more, and would love to see Ki stiff the fuck outta him.

If it's Burchill, you have to leave TPWW for a year.

JUAN, MAKE THIS HAPPEN!

How about Rey Mysterio wins at WrestleMania and shaves CM Punk’s head? Next SmackDown, Low Ki beats down Mysterio and joins the Straight Edge Society.

I expected Low Ki/Kaval to be on NXT. Guess you can't have all your best guys on at once though. Still might be called up to the main roster I suppose.


Not a bad idea, having Ki join up with the SES. I think he'd fit as a really 'militant' straight edge type as opposed to the charismatic cult leader personality of Punk.

The whole mask thing and "mysterio's past" angle is a good idea I think. It starts him off in a meaningful program and hopefully gets him over.

Not to mention that it's a no brainer to have the angle end with Mysterio unmasking him, and then they can push him from there on out without the mask.

I've given up on seeing him on tv. Like, what are they waiting for?

I don't think they want to blow their entire wad with WWE NXT now. Kaval is likely to be on the "next season," in my opinion. They could even put him under a mask and have Rey Mysterio be his WWE Pro.

Instead of doing this "season" thing, maybe the WWE could have guys graduate at different rates (for example, Darren Young does not seem credible enough yet for RAW or SmackDown!), and when one guy graduates, another enters the fray. So as soon as Daniel Bryan is moved up, Kaval can take his place.

That would actually be a very very nice idea there.
