In a recent appearance on the “Inside the Ropes” podcast, AEW Continental Champion Eddie Kingston discussed the authenticity of his character, his inspiration, and more.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On how authentic he is with his character: “Well, I feel like who else am I going to be? My character is me when I was 17 years old, so it’s still me just turned up a thousand notches.”
On growing up wanting to be a character like The Great Muta or Ultimate Warrior: “All of us wanted to be somewhat like The Great Muta in a way, or face painted like the Ultimate Warrior and The Road Warriors, so we all at one point in time wanted to do something like that.”
