During a recent appearance on the “Inside The Ropes” podcast, Eddie Kingston commented on why AEW isn’t invading New York, why they are having more success in the market compared to other promotions, and more. You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On why AEW is not invading New York: “I don’t think we’re invading New York. We’re back, well, I’m back in town. I believe all the New Yorkers on our roster are like, ‘We’re coming back to take it back. This is ours. We grew up here. This isn’t a company thing, this is our thing.’ A lot of the New Yorkers like me, Santana, and Ortiz all feel like, ‘we let you have New York and now we’re coming to take back our tower.’”
On why AEW is having more success in NY compared to other promotions: “We have bigger names. We have names that people want to see. Like him or not, people want to see Kenny Omega. I don’t like the Bucks, but people want to see The Bucks. People want to see Miro. They want to see Punk. We’re capturing people’s imaginations.”
