Eddie Kingston Uses Professional Wrestling To Let Out His Frustrations
In an interview with “Doc” Chris Mueller of Bleacher Report, Eddie Kingston would explain that professional wrestling is something that helps him with his mental health – as it allows a great way to let his stress out.
“It causes a lot of stress if you let it, you know what I mean? And I think that’s with any job, if we let any job stress us out. But what makes my job different is that I get to let out my frustrations in the ring. And I get to let out my frustrations verbally when we do promos or segments or whatever people want to call it, whatever the TV people call it. I’m doing me at the end of the day. I tell people my promos are my therapy.”
When asked about his support system in AEW, and how Jon Moxley, Penta, Ruby Soho, and Proud and Powerful helped him – Kingston had the following to say about who helps him backstage.
“Everybody you just said. You know, there are others, but I like to keep that close to the vest. I guess you could say my character is me at 17. And so there’s a lot of reality to what I do on screen. And Ortiz has been a huge, huge person in my life to help me out and to be part of that support system. And Ruby as well. Ruby’s been around, We’ve been friends for many, many years, and I feel bad for her sometimes. But she’s been around and she’s always had my back. Same thing with Mox, you know what I mean? What you see is what you get on TV. There are others, but those are the main ones.”
