All Elite Wrestling misses Eddie Kingston

As a dedicated AEW fan with a soft spot for the underdogs, I can wholeheartedly say that Eddie Kingston is undeniably one of the most captivating performers in the ring today. His raw passion, authenticity, and relatable persona make him a unique gem amidst the glitz and glamour of AEW’s roster.

In All Elite Wrestling, an array of remarkable performers and characters captivate fans. If you ask who their favorite is, you’ll receive a wide range of responses. Nevertheless, one man stands out as noticeably absent from the AEW roster. This absence is not only felt by fans but also impacts the promotion itself. The man in question is none other than Eddie Kingston.

Kingston might not be an “original” member of AEW, but over the past four years, it’s hard to find someone who wouldn’t agree he’s become the essence of this organization. From his initial promo against Cody Rhodes, to winning the Ring of Honor World Championship, fans have been captivated by his journey. It’s been a rollercoaster ride filled with sorrow and triumph – a journey that encapsulates what makes professional wrestling and sports entertainment so enjoyable.

Kingston doesn’t quite fit the traditional wrestler mold, and he recognizes this. He understands that when compared to wrestlers like Will Ospreay, Bryan Danielson, or Kenny Omega, his skills might not seem as refined. Yet, he is aware of what sets him apart – his ability to embody the “everyday person” in professional wrestling and inspire others who see themselves in the sport. His deep love for wrestling shines through in his heartfelt article on The Player’s Tribune, a testament to how fortunate we all would be to work in a field that ignites our passion as fiercely as it does for him.

As an ardent fan, I can’t help but acknowledge that Kingston plays a significant role in shaping the on-screen experience. Currently, the AEW versus The Deathriders narrative is the main event, with Jon Moxley and his group wreaking havoc, aiming to mold AEW according to their vision. This storyline has the potential to engage fans and fuel anticipation for the future of the product. However, after just a few weeks, it seems to be losing momentum. For some reason, it’s not maintaining the intensity and enthusiasm that was initially present. Frankly, I find myself struggling to stay invested in this angle.

Reflecting on the scenario, it’s clear that Kingston’s absence is keenly felt. With him uninjured, he could have been the pivotal figure squaring off against Moxley in this angle. Given his past interactions with the major players involved, fans would delight in seeing him emerge as the underdog champion AEW needs. Victory for Kingston, leading to the AEW World Championship, would undeniably be moments that captivate audiences. To many, he embodies the spirit of Mick Foley within AEW, and such a rise to prominence would fuel a wave of enthusiasm.

Regrettably, Eddie Kingston remains out of action due to an injury sustained over six months ago against Gabriel Kidd. As of now, there’s no clear date set for his comeback. AEW will likely look different when he makes his return to the ring, but his presence is greatly missed throughout the company.
