He's not wrong tho. Eddie the realest in the business but he's feared like he's New Jack & I don't really understand why. He can murder ppl on a promo either laced with 4 letter words or without. He can wrestle his ass off, he can sell. And everyone who's being established today, learned & benefited a lot from crossing paths with him. If I were a promoter, instead of taking junk to the hand of Midas & have him make it gold. I'd cut off & secure the hand for myself. I know Eddie isn't as refined as other wrestling stars nor does he look like them but there have been plenty of cats without a six pack that have gone down as legends in this business. They do the mad king hella wrong.

I first learnt of Eddie Kingston when he signed with AEW. I became a fan of his ever since. As of writing this we are just two days removed from Punk and Kingston having one of the best segments of 2021 with their face-to-face on Rampage. This promo gave me CM Punk Pipe Bomb vibes from 2011 only if Punk wasn’t limited to the PG13 rating on. The reason why I like this promo is because I bet Eddie Kingston was genuinely annoyed that he has been with all the guys, helped make them grow and they are the ones succeeding and he is struggling to pay his mortgage. Now look at Eddie Kingston. What a fantastic story. I can’t wait for Punk vs Kingston at Full Gear

I just realised. No one ever uses physicallity in their promos like Eddie does here. And it adds *so* much to the drama. Wrestlers take one hit before a heel promo and stay down the whole time when that's not at all how things go it matches. Plus it makes the heel look so much more intimidating and intelligent while punctuating what they say. Eddie is a fucking genius man.

Eddie Kingston is one of very, very wrestlers I feel is too good for WWE and/or AEW. His promos are amazing. His wrestling his on-point. If there was an Independent Wrestling Hall Of Fame, he is undoubtedly up there as one of the firsts to go in.
