A biography for Eddie Kingstonhasn’t been written yet.
“I'll get with anybody in the ring, I don't care. The way I look at it is, you're not going to pull out a gun, you're not going to pull out a knife, I'm fine. I'll be OK.”
“You have to be good to your mother; she gave you life.”
“It took years for me to realize that I have a good support system around me. Because a lot of times I would shut it out that I had good people around me because I was at that point where I didn't see any hope. So I just didn't care or want to know that people cared or I had a good support system.”
“People are like 'you're so great at promos'; these aren't promos to me, this is therapy to me.”
“Fighting CM Punk was never the goal for me. He wasn't there when I first got to AEW.”
“Detroit are just rabid, rabid fans. They'll let you know if they're not happy with something. They're a hardcore group of people.”
“I was a hyper kid and I would run around like a maniac.”
“I'm doing me at the end of the day.”
“Hot Stuff' Eddie Gilbert was really the first guy to inspire me. My mom got a Memphis wrestling tape from the Bronx and I saw Gilbert and that was it. He was definitely the first guy who made me think I wanted to do this. He doesn't get enough credit.”
“I'm learning more different ways to deal with things. You know what I mean? So, I gotta be selfish and help myself first before I can even talk to anybody. I learned that a long time ago.”
“I feel like if a person pays money to come to the show, whether it's to see me or not, then I have to give them everything I have.”
“No one is better than me - that's the attitude I have to have.”
“Yeah, we all got problems, everybody does. What helps me is just saying in my head move forward, move forward because if I decide to hurt myself in any way I'm not just hurting myself. I'm hurting my family because they have to deal with the repercussions, not just me.”
“We make the normal. And it's not weak to struggle. People who think that are wrong.”
“I do things because I think they're right. Not because other people think they are right, but it's what I feel and what I feel needs to be said in the moment.”
“I hate that word superstars.”
“One of my main problems with Mox is that he didn't use his popularity or social media with all of his followers and everything to put over places that he used to be at or people he used to run with.”
“From the minute my uncles taught me how to throw a punch when I was 11 years old, I was out on the streets swinging for the fences.”
“Punk's not a good dude, I can't care what he says. Of course he's going to talk trash when I'm not there.”
“My mother would put on wrestling tapes, any wrestling tapes she could get her hands on. She would sit me down on the couch, and I wouldn't move for however long the tape was.”
