Eddie Kingston on CM Punk being fired from AEW

[@RatedRcny]

He's a disgrace to NYC

[@Bears11422]

​@@RatedRcnyThe best wrestlers come from or have blood ties with (in this order) the samoan islands, Mexico, and New York. Kingston is proof of that. Only people that can hit promos like Taz sience Taz couldn't take bumps anymore are Samoa Joe and Kingston. Kingston can do above avg hardstyle wrestling (Japan style), and he can do above avg entertainment wrestling (American style), and he does amazing hardcore wrestling (garbage wresting) He's more than a solid wrestler. P.s. I ain't kissing a**. That's just the truth. If you don't like Kingston, change the channel.

[@masonmurphy6009]

​@RatedRcny no, the mayor of New York is the disgrace to nyc. a very close second is the governor of New York. This guy? He's just a low rent, cheap modern day knock off of Bubba ray dudley

It makes it better when we’re not best friends. Even Eddie realizes and understood Punk and all the dudes he had beef in that AEW locker room ended up with a missed opportunity right there.

Thank you Eddie for being honest 👍🏻AEW is in severe trouble. Imagine that you sign Edge and your ratings go down even further 😳Tony should of done everything in his power to retain Punk and keep that man happy because at least he’s still a draw. You fire the man and allow him to walk back into WWEs arms which takes eyes off your shows and puts them on the competitors. Even know there is no real competition, you still need to keep your box office draws. Hopefully Tony can bring some people in to help produce and book but I doubt it because he’s likes Joe Biden….he’s the face but we all know he ain’t calling shots there. Can’t wait for the Bucks heel run though 😂🤦🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️Imagine actually waisting MJFs talent and allowing him to become a joke.
