AEW continues to add big names to its promotion with people like CM Punk and Bryna Danielson. Eddie Kingston took the signings in a different way than most people would.
He respected the veterans and knew everyone in AEW would have to step up. Eddie Kingston knew that went for him as well, there was a certain level he needed to reach.
Eddie Kingston recently spoke with Talk Sport on the new AEW signings. He did not hold back on CM Punk and Bryan Danielson.
“No [you can’t have too many top talents], because it makes everybody else step up. And if you don’t step up, you get left behind and that’s your fault. That’s not Punk’s fault. That’s not Bryan’s fault. That not whoever comes in fault,” Kingston said.
“If you’re worried about the roster getting bloated or you’re worried about said ‘spot’ – as I put in quotations – then work on it and use it as motivation. I do.”
The AEW star would have no issue letting them know how things actually are in the promotion. He thinks they would be in for a rude awakening.
“When Bryan signed, when Punk signed, and when Adam Cole signed I said ‘alright, let’s go.’ Let’s see what you got. Because I know what I got. I know what I have to improve on. Let’s see what you got.
“I like it. I have a big chip on my shoulder. I hope Tony Khan brings in everybody because in my opinion, if they haven’t fought me before on the independents, they have no idea what they’re getting themselves into.
“I don’t care, I’ll be the first one to meet you at the gate [laughs] and I’ll let you know this is a different world, partner. This is professional wrestling, but I’m going to hit you, I’m going to beat you up and you’re going to have to beat me up. And that’s it,” Kingston asserted.
