Eddie Kingston Reveals How His Brother Got Him To Keep Wrestling

Eddie Kingston is currently on top of the world in All Elite Wrestling. He is set to challenge Jon Moxley for the AEW World Championship in an I Quit match at Full Gear. However, all of this almost didn’t happen as Kingston was prepared to retire in 2019.

Speaking with TSN, Kingston revealed what his brother told him to get him to keep wrestling. In short, he asked how he could tell his son to never give up when his uncle Eddie quit wrestling. Here is the quote:

“My brother, being my brother, gave me a little speech and he was basically like, ‘Hey man, I need you to help me with my son, with your nephew, and show him how to be a man and everything,’ And I was like, ‘Yeah, of course. Why are you even asking me this?’ And he just goes, ‘Well, I only have one problem – how can I tell my son never to quit, never to give up when his uncle did?’ I was like, ‘Excuse me?’ and he said, ‘How can I tell him never to quit when you’re quitting wrestling?’ And that just made me go, ‘Okay, well I guess I’m not quitting now,’ and I’m doing it for my nephew.”

Prior to joining AEW this Summer, Eddie Kingston had experienced a long career in wrestling. He had previously been part of CHIKARA, CZW and more recently, NWA. Now, he is enjoying his greatest success to date.
