** His [[OddFriendship friendship]] with [=LayCool=] in general. While hilarious and having a rocky start due to their differing personalities, especially with Kaval being a face and [=LayCool=] being heels, they eventually got along with each other with [=LayCool=] being [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes genuinely supportive and showing they care about him]]. Kaval, in return, reciprocated and could be seen being protective of them. Low Ki even admitted after leaving WWE that he genuinely enjoyed working with Wrestling/MichelleMcCool and Wrestling/{{Layla}}.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: He was the fan favorite of [[Wrestling/{{WWENXT}} NXT]] Season Two as, despite his poor win-loss record, fan vote ensured that he survived elimination and ultimately win the competition. This caused Wrestling/{{WWE}} to subsequently rewrite the competition rules so that the fans wouldn't have any input on the outcome.

* SeinfeldIsUnfunny: While Low Ki and Wrestling/SamoaJoe's Fight Without Honor is still considered to be a classic match, it's no longer held up as a good example of what a Fight Without Honor is, as later examples would be much more violent.

** The opening article on the WWE website on August 25, 2010 about him being in the background as a reward for him winning the Trivia Challenge the night before states that he "takes over" it. NXT's most well-known era, the Black and Gold, would have acclaimed major events entitled ''[=TakeOver=]''.

** Low Ki having [=LayCool=] as his NXT Pros becomes more hilarious when former WWE writer Brian Gewirtz tweeted that there was discussion to have Ki become the secret long lost son of [=McCool's=] husband ''Wrestling/TheUndertaker''.

** Low Ki having [=LayCool=] as his NXT Pros becomes more hilarious when former WWE writer Brian Gewirtz tweeted that there was discussion to have Ki become the secret long lost son of [=McCool's=] husband ''Wrestling/TheUndertaker''. In fact, said pitch is even more funnier in retrospect:
*** Kaval's first and only WWE PPV appearance was at ''Wrestling/SurvivorSeries'', the event Undertaker made his debut in 1990 and [[{{Bookends}} ended his career exactly 30 years later]].
*** At a House of Glory event in 2016, Low Ki makes his entrance in his match with [[Wrestling/DrewMcIntyre Drew Galloway]] with the lights out and appearing in the ring when the lights are turned back on. Undertaker's most famous way of appearing is teleporting himself to the ring once the lights go out.



* RootingForTheEmpire: Frequently got cheered even when he was at his most assholish in Zero 1 and Wrestling/NewJapanProWrestling. "Jimmy Bowers" actually complained about the fans chanting for Low Ki and [[Wrestling/NelsonErazo Homicide]] at an [[Wrestling/RingOfHonor ROH]] event only for Wrestling/CMPunk to insist the fans could chant for whoever they wanted.

* NeverLiveItDown: Low Ki was once forcefully ejected his own match at a CZW event in 2000 for throwing a hissy fit after a botch, leading to a ''very'' funny image of him being hoisted up like a colicky child.[[note]]His opponent, Ric Blade, had accidentally hurt himself doing a spot, and Low Ki didn't check on him to make sure, leading to him thinking he was being screwed by the company and promptly began having a fit. Security, kind of at a loss what to do since his opponents were legitimately hurt, decided to intervene.[[/note]] If he's ever in the news, that photo of him being dragged to the back will inevitably crop up.
