Our time we had while we were working for Ring of Honor, I think I will always hold close to my heart. The matches, the friendships, the road stories are ones that I will never forget. Bryan Danielson taught me how to play guitar. We traveled all over the US and eventually received bookings for Australia and England. Ring of Honor was considered our home base. Ace closed SDW after he signed a contract with the WWE.
I had the chance to meet some of the greatest legends in wrestling. My favorite wrestler as a child was "Hot Rod" Rowdy Roddy Piper. It was a dream come true the day that Ring of Honor brought him in and Phil and I were guests on his interview show, Piper's Pit. After the show, he told me to consider myself adopted into his family and called me his baby girl. When I told my dad about it later that night, he joked that if he was going to lose me to another father figure, at least it was Piper. My brother was insanely jealous when I showed him the video later.
Phil would get booked for a company that was trying to compete with WWE, called Total Nonstop Action, or TNA for short. He would work for them until TNA decided that wrestlers had to be under contract for them and he couldn't work for ROH any longer. He became the head trainer for the ROH school. We contemplated moving to Philadelphia where ROH had the school but I talked him into staying in Chicago.
I began wrestling using the moniker "All Natural" Kristina Kincaid. I would perpetually steal the show every night, no matter who I was working with. I had a great series of matches with a girl named Sara Del Rey that was garnering a lot of attention. One of my favorite people to work with is an English wrestler named Saraya Knight. Another girl I went out of my way to work with a few times was Amazing Kong. We had some of the best hard hitting and technical matches. I typically hated wrestling girls, but those three I had a ball with. Phil and I wrestled each other twice in Ring of Honor, both times to sold out shows. I even had an hour long match that ended in a time limit draw with the biggest guy on the roster, Samoa Joe.
It was easy to be a crowd favorite but it was more fun being the heel.
"Not only am I better than you because I'm straight edge, I'm better than you because I'm all natural. I have the God given gift of natural talent and natural beauty." I gloated to the crowd. "I don't need makeup. I've never had plastic surgery. I've been blessed physically and mentally. I'm simply just better than you." I would boast to heat up the crowd's response.
Phil and I were great at getting the crowd angry. "You people here at (whatever town we were at) wish you could get a girl like Kristina on your arm. Athletic, smart, and a great pair of."
I would always cut him off. "Watch it." I would warn.
"Legs." he would finish with a smile.
We added Tamma to the Second City Saints, to accompany Colt in his matches. A lot of the times if I was at ringside with her, we wore similar outfits. She noticed one day as we were going over our game plan that I stated that she would valet for Colt.
"Why are you considered a manager and I'm a valet?" she asked me.
"It's all about the crowd's perspective. I'm a manager because I'm a wrestler. I can coach and interject myself into matches. You're there to serve as the occasional distraction and overall make Colt look good." I teased. She glared at me. "Oh, you're so cute." I said, teasing her again.
