He might not have a belt yet but to me Kingston epitomizes the term "people's champion." No one is more real in the wrestling business than him. The article he wrote on his struggles with mental health was so inspiring. You can't help but love him. Plus his in-ring work looks as real as real gets.
Who knew? It reflects well on both of them. Both of them wrestled in a lot of places before they made their way to AEW. Since for the most part, I think they wrestled for different Promotions in North America, I doubt that their path had crossed too often over the years.
I love Eddie even more after this. I'm so glad he's getting a big push. And, it's great now seeing how he's drawing his personal life into the storyline.
I knew nothing of eddie kingston until Brodie Lee passed. The video of his speech after the brodie tribute show made me dive into who the hell this dude is. As a fellow new Yorker, eddie is that dude.
I LOVE #EddieKingston and #EthanPage these 2 together is GOLD. Glad to see them together in #AEW. Both are phenomenal wrestlers. Bright futures ahead!!
Eddie is honestly the best! He is so charismatic and connects to us as both a fan of wrestling and wrestling culture. Its a true testament that keep going on this journey in your life cause, it may take awhile, but, you will get there
Awesome interview and an insight into two serious workers back when AEW was not even a dream. Interesting insights not just into both men (and shows Eddie consistency in how he talks about his past); especially interesting to hear Ethan talk about his journey. Both these men are workers, and worked their way into AEW. 22:19 the mention of Santana and Ortiz is interesting. 28:05 the shoulder injury story is epic; so interesting to see Ethan’s natural niceness, but ‘you’re a mark’ is awesome. 31:07 the story of Eddie’s dad is awesome; ‘you guys are twins’. ‘When you die you are the only one in that casket...’ what a thing to say to a 12 year old. 34:50 Id love to see Eddie in a bar. 47:31 that poor Toby Durst kid... Ethan’s face in that exchange is priceless. And you can see the bias of their friendship. Both men are very different but very honest. It’s awesome to see and funny also... 49:31: ‘Dude, you are a fuking squirrel...’ I lost it! 51:53 Eddie makes Excalibur (off camera) lose it and I think leads to the PWG stuff at 52:23 57:41 Eddie’s story leading to his Jim Cornette impression was magic. 1:03:25 and then Excalibur joins them and it’s like sitting backstage listening to guys just shot the breeze... awesome. 1:07:13 Ethan says a forbidden name... I’m laughing so hard! Curious as to who it was... Eddie’s ‘ANYWAY’ was priceless. 1:10:24 Holy crap! I’d love to have been in that room. 1:12:57 The Gig Story... just priceless. ‘This Slytherin mothafucka...’ And the story starts getting better and better; Excalibur and Eddie tipping Ethan apart verbally. ‘Like a child...’. 1:18:18 that Homicide story... This was a joy to watch.
Seeing Ethan just at-ease with another wrestler, one he's crossed paths with and knew before AEW is just awesome. Thanks for this--I didn't even know most of the stuff they were referencing, but it was an awesome back'n'forth.
Even as a tough guy, Eddie is still adorable & modest. Wish he had more self-confidence, especially after everything he's fought through in his life, inside & outside the ring.
Billy Corrigan is a very big fan but also has a good eye for glossed over talent. He has by his efforts built Kingston, Starks, Murdoch, Drake, and r.i.p. Jocephus.
I went to NY Comic Con last month & had a photo op with MJF. Wish Eddie would consider working Comic Con too like other wrestlers. He really doesn't seem to see or understand how much people love or adore his raw, authentic attitude.
Poor Ethan, got his interview sorta derailed. Excalibur and Eddie having me in tears of laughter tho. From AEW Dark I knew Excalibur had good chemistry with New Yorkers
I could listen for hours when this 2 take a conversation its freakin entertaining im 7Months behind .... the plus : i can look also the new conversation with these Guys and Bryce is hilarious I love it thank you so much Greetings from Switzerland
Smart Mark Video has some Best Of The Indies dvds centered on Eddie Kingston. I'm spending a mini fortune on dvds from Smart Mark Video just to see Eddie's promos & matches that weren't included on those dvds.
We need Ethan Page as Karate Man with Eddie as his manager just one time! Anyway, these two are friggin' awesome & soooo down-to-earth! Can't hate either dude!!! Hope Kingston kicks Jericho's ass this Sunday
Wrestler myself.. weekend warrior.. 7 years or so... I have bipolar... Eddie kingston is a great guy... hes no gimmick.. dude is crazy real in a kayfabe world... I love Chris jericho but he made Chris look like a green horn. You had the superficial appearance of Chris's verbiage compared to Eddie. Secondly I'm Canadian by birth..living in the UK... Here we have the Melt Generation In the locker rooms. You've got high spot fiends ...young bucks..omega etc. Its not that its not about splendid moments and big spots but these people are structured around 3 small sequences and 12345 high spots that never get digested by the nose bleeds...I promise you... the bucks do a triple somersault piledriver off the apron after a bump off the ladder that nobody sells... the nose bleed fans won't remember one or the other spot . Because its too busy in the ring... Like a poured bottle of wine... let it breathe... Just my thoughts...
The fued is real wresting vs sports entertainment. That is why Jericho brought out security. Called Cody what's his name, cut that rehearsed style promo while Eddie was doing Eddie. The things Jericho did were WWE tropes. The segment was gold. That fued has legs and should run through Double or Nothing
They were all working Wrestlecon plus Somebody has to keep Kingston on task. Wouldn't picture Ex and Kingston to be good friends but it does kindof explain Excalibur's chemistry with Taz haha
I think Renee Paquette might be the only one who could do a real sit down interview with Eddie since she's the only one he's sweet on since him & Mox are besties too.
