I will never take another bump like that again, you know, but I never thought I’d take a fluorescent light bulb over the head from Nick Gage last year but once again, why did I do it? Because the story warranted it. ![]() What the f*ck just happened? And once we did that, it changed the dynamic of everything. I’ve only taken one bump like that in my life taken from our broadcast colleague Taz back when I was 25 years old and I’ll never do it again and was it scary? Yeah, it was scary but it was also like, I wanna start this show off with something people go, holy sh*t. I want you to just dump me on my head’ and it was a terrible bump. With Eddie Kingston, that was one of my favorite matches I’ve ever had and we started it off. Jericho said that is one of his favorite matches and he wanted to start it off by taking a fall directly on his head. Their first was at the Revolution pay-per-view. The Barbed Wire Everywhere match was their second one-on-one bout of the year. So yeah, I’m a big fan of Eddie Kingston. I think those are going away because he realizes just how good he is. Not that he doesn’t now, but he still has an inner demon. They kind of think it’s funny to kind of downplay themselves but they’re both so good and Eddie doesn’t quite get it yet and when he does, he’s gonna be a world champion. Polar opposites in image and gimmicks but neither one of them quite realize just how good they are. _stq.Eddie Kingston reminds me of Randy Orton and I’ll tell you the reason why. My nephew can show people on the TNT app, there’s a plug, or on the AEW YouTube there’s another plug, he gets to show off that his uncle is a wrestler. I made it to AEW, contracted, making a living. So of course they’re going to back me up on that, no matter what.”Įddie Kingston on what comes next: “New milestones, of course. Speaking honestly with Busted Open Radio ahead of his appearance at All Out, Kingston. The Mad King has been open about his dislike for several wrestlers, like Chris Jericho and CM Punk. But because of my low self-esteem and how I beat myself down mentally in the past - which I still kind of do, I’m working on that, but all that stuff - they’re just happy to see me doing something that’s positive. Eddie Kingston has always been a fan favorite wherever he’s gone because he is not afraid to speak his mind. They saw a future for me in anything I wanted to do. My brother is just happy I found something that I’m passionate about. So why can’t anybody else?”Įddie Kingston on family support system: “My mom and dad are just happy that I’m doing something that’s not illegal. I’m not the most mentally put-together person but I’m moving forward, I’m trying. ![]() Do I feel a little bit of pressure since that Players’ Tribune ? Yeah, but I also kind of like it too because, look, I can move on, I can do it. Not that I’m broken, I’m just going to move on from it and move forward because that’s all I can do is move forward. I’m the one going through it so it’s my normal. And to make my own normal because no one is going through what I’m going through. “The best way to move on is to talk about what’s going on. There are so many people that I’m trying to make proud that I have to move on. I gotta be manly.’ I think I’m pretty manly, but I talk about what I go through because I’m trying to see tomorrow. What you’re going through is what you’re going through. If you sit there and say what you’re going through is not normal, that’s bullshit. I still like watching football and eating steak and having a beer here or there.”Įddie Kingston’s advice to “tough guys” who don’t seek help for mental health: “I usually like to tell people that we create our own normal. Now that we accept who we are, we work on them. Back in the day, we used to accept the flaws and move on and not work on them. She seems to think that’s dying because we’re actually celebrating men like Moxley, who can accept their flaws but also work on them. ![]() My girlfriend said this to me the other day. That’s all that matters.’ It does feel nice that everybody else got it. My thing was, ‘I don’t care if anyone else understands. ![]() I guess you could say I’m an old-school street guy.
