** The Roughnecks, with Wrestling/BrodieLee and Grizzly Redwood

** Defeated Mike Quakenbush in the finals of Chikara's 12 Large Summit of 2011

* BreakupBreakout: From the [=Wildcards=].

* RealSongThemeTune
** Music/{{Jay Z}}'s "Blueprint[[superscript:2]]"
** Music/KanyeWest's "Diamonds from Sierra Leone"
** [=T.I.=]'s "What You Know About That"
** "Money Making Blueprint" by DJ Sonic
*** The Wildcards used Music/SteelyDan's "Jack of Speed."

* {{Jobber}}: Albeit, a high profile one given he was one of the CZW invaders but Kingston did not win a match in Ring of Honor for three years until he finally defeated Sami Callihan, at which point he finally felt like he belonged in the promotion.

** IWasBeatenByAGirl: Heidi Lovelace defeated him at Wrestling Is Heart's October 19, 2013 show.

* MeanCharacterNiceActor: His introspective nature lends well to both the in-ring persona of the battle-hardened vicious street fighter and his more laid-back, friendly, somewhat religious real life personality.

** {{Permastubble}}: For the last several years.

!!! "These Tropes are the Last of a Dying Breed":

* ClusterFBomb: In his [[LoserLeavesTown Loser Leaves CZW]] match with Chris Hero at ''CZW Out With The Old, In With The New'', April 7, 2007, as Kingston was repeatedly calling Hero a "motherfucker," saying, "I fucking dare you," etc.

He debuted in 2002 as a member of the second class to graduate from the CHIKARA Wrestle Factory. He was introduced as 1/2 of the tag team the [=Wildcards=] with [=BlackJack=] Marciano.

* CassandraTruth: Spent all of 2009 insisting that Claudio Castagnoli was the bad guy, then was proven right when he turned on Quackenbush as part of the riot that marked the BDK's formation at the end of ''Three-Fisted Tales.''

* {{Determinator}}: A major part of his tecnico gimmick since 2010 has been the fact that he ''will not give up.'' Extends to real life as well, as he refuses to take time off to rehab some pretty serious knee injuries as long as he holds the Grand Championship.

* {{Expy}}[=/=]{{Fanboy}}: Of/for Wrestling/TommyDreamer. At ''CHIKARA Aniversario Elf,'' May 23, 2010, Kingston defeated Dreamer by DQ when evil BDK referee Derek Sabato disqualified Dreamer for grabbing his shirt. Then the [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/pa/e/chikara/chikara-t.html CHIKARA Campeones de Parejas (Tag Team Champions)]] Claudio Castagnoli and Ares ran in to save Sabato from Dreamer piledriving him. This led to Dreamer and Kingston fighting together against the BDK. Afterwards, Dreamer acknowledged how Kingston used to come see him wrestle, and Kingston said that Dreamer was his inspiration to get out of Yonkers and become a wrestler. This led to Dreamer and Kingston teaming up, unsuccessfully, against Castagnoli and Ares at ''[=Chikarasaurus=] Rex: King of Show'' on July 25th. At ''High Noon'' on November 13, 2011, Dreamer was in Kingston's corner when he defeated Mike Quackenbush in the finals of the [[Wrestling/LarrySweeney 12 Large: Summit]] where Kingston became the inaugural CHIKARA Grand Champion.

* FinishingMove: Backfist to the Future, American D (Wrestling/MasatoTanaka's Sliding D)
* FriendlyEnemy: {{Subverted| trope}}, Kingston likes Wrestling/KevinSteen but warned that if they were to fight he'd beat Steen like he didn't know him.

* {{Jobber}}: Albeit, a high profile one given he was one of the CZW invaders but Kingston did not win a match in Ring Of Honor for three years until he finally defeated Sami Callihan, at which point he finally felt like he belonged in the promotion.
* MeanCharacterNiceActor
* NonIronicClown: He and Homicide disguised themselves as clowns celebrating reDRagon's regaining of the ROH tag team title belts in order to ambush them.

* PowerTrio: The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen with Giant Tiger and Sexxxy Eddy

* {{Badass}}: He's so badass, he manages to easily avert {{Badbutt}} in a family-friendly promotion. He won the Torneo Cibernetico between Team CHIKARA and the BDK at ''The Dark [=Ciberknetico=]'' by pinning the BDK's monster Tursas, making Kingston the first person who had even knocked Tursas off his feet.
** BadassBeard: Starting in 2006.
*** {{Permastubble}}: For the last several years.
** BadassesWearBandanas: In 2006.

* {{Fingorn}}: Helped Homicide break Kyle O'Reilly's fingers after ambushing him and Bobby Fish.

* CombatCommentator: Served as one for CZW and IWA Mid-South

** His [[EverythingsBetterWithSpinning spinning backfist]] FinishingMove is called the [[Film/BackToTheFuture "Backfist to the Future"]].

* CallingYourAttacks: "Back fist!"
