Casey Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Erick Stevens pointed out on Twitter that the Rosa/Shafir match looked like Rosa sandbagging her on multiple spots and all around making her look bad (not a huge feat, but whatever). Britt Baker and Marina liked the tweets, too. Maybe Ivelisse was right. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southofheavy Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 I'd watch two hours of Eddie running down his list. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technico Support Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 (edited) I'll never forget the story Eddie told on Marty and Sarah Love Wrestling where, as a youngster, Eddie had a confrontation and bowed up to his mom, and his dad grabbed him and faced him down, yelling "REMEMBAH! SHE WAS MY WIFE BEFORE SHE WAS YOUR MUTHA!" Such an Eddie story. It's up there with the wholesome story he told where if he was good all week and didn't get in fights or suplex kids in class, his mom would get him Chinese food and let him watch All Japan tapes. His dad would be like "I'm tryna watch the news here and the kid's watchin rasslin!" and his mom would yell "LEAVE HIM ALONE HE WAS GOOD THIS WEEK!!!!" Fuck, Eddie Kingston is a treasure. Put the main belt on him for a year. Edited June 13, 2022 by Technico Support 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Since we all love Eddie, I shared this on the Discord, but forgot to post it here... I legit teared up watching this. Eddie is the absolute fucking best. I think at best in AEW he might get a title run like Mick Foley had where he winds up being more of a transitional champion than anything. But dude, that's way better than nothing. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Maybe I'm in the minority, maybe I'm short sighted, but if you have an Eddie Kingston on your roster, then who cares about what MJF does. I think some of us, myself included, get so wrapped up in the intrigue with what's going on with MJF that we forget Eddie is right there. Eddie is one of the best, if not the best, mic guy in all of wrestling, he's a fucking amazing worker, and fans are dying to see him get his run at the top. I know AEW booking can move slow as molasses when TK tries to plan out so much in advance, but sometimes you just have to pivot to the people that fans arguably love the most, and that's Eddie. Gregg said it beautifully in the Rampage thread, there really is no one like Kingston. I know we'll have to wait a little longer, but we can't wait forever. Give Eddie a fat contract and make him one of the big stars of your company. 11 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give Eddie a fat contract and make him one of the big stars of your company. That’s the beauty of Eddie Kingston, because to me he IS a big star of the company, top 5 guy. He’s main evented a PPV, had a run in to close another one, had the big match with Miro, is always mentioned by their biggest star (Punk). He’s a tippy toppy dude. But he’s so good at playing the underdog that you want the character to break through this glass ceiling or whatever when in reality the real dude is already there. He’s like Foley in that way.

Matt D Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 I'm checked out on all of the Forbidden Door PPV stuff. I'm glad we have Blood & Guts coming and I'm excited for whatever July reset we get, including the idea of a ROH PPV in July (Joe vs Lethal; maybe Yuta vs Garcia; FTR vs Ropangi Vice 2?). I feel like a kid watching Starrcade 95 and wanting a proper blowoff to the Savage/Luger feud and another Big Bubba vs Jim Duggan match instead of all this NJPW stuff they're giving me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John E. Dynamite Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 I thought last week's Eddie Kingston promo was one of the worst he's ever cut in AEW. Trying to hard to "make it real" so he could get a better reaction out of himself, the thing with the crew dude felt like he was checking things off a list and hit way too close to MJF mentioning the "countdown" a few weeks prior. Reminds me of when I agreed to be in waaay too many plays back-to-back and I wound up dogging my performance in an all-time American classic that was 3/4 comprised of my monologues. Ugh. Eddie! Don't force the method acting if it isn't coming naturally! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Log Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Put Christian in Jeff's place, have him somehow cost Jurassic Express the match. They seem to be hinting a fallout with him and Jungle Boy anyway, just speed it up a bit. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Jesus H. Christ...Again, among many other reasons, this is why it was a mistake to sign Jeff Hardy. I don't think in 2022 anyone gave enough of a shit about the Hardys vs the Young Bucks to buy a PPV. The juice isn't worth the squeeze. And he's a fucking mess. How he hasn't gotten into an accident a hurt or killed someone is beyond me. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Cincinnati Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 And yet he's revered by significant people within the company, so he was always going to get a chance. Dropping Matt and straight up putting in a new team seems like a non-starter. Replacing Jeff with Darby would make sense based on kayfabe alliances. Christian being in the match vs his peeps wouldn't make sense yet, he can easily screw them without being made a competitor. And after waiting this long for a taste of Christian vs JB, I don't want it in a six person car crash match. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 I don't necessarily want 47 year old Matt in a ladder match in the first place! Or Christian for that matter. Tag in the sub-30 year olds. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Cincinnati Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Agreed. I just don't think they'll pull Matt unless it's gonna be straight up YB vs JX. Now I expect Tony to tweet something in like twenty minutes to make me look like a dummy for making that assumption. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
