Interview with Kofi Kingston : Highlights were show of his advancment and winning of the CPW King of the Ring Tournament over Kyle Matthew. Kingston said that King of the Ring winners in the past had gone on to win and win big. He said he would be no different! He said his ultimate goal is the NWA World Championship, but he knows that only a select few will ever hold that championship. He said that he will start off in the fashion of great champions of the past, such as the Flair's, Race's and Steamboat's. Start out small and work their way up. He said he respects the championship, but no the champion. Punk is nothing more than that... a Punk.
