A popular star recently talked about his admiration for AEW before he wraps up his career in professional wrestling. While he talked about various things he wants to achieve, his major goal is to capture a top championship in the Jacksonville-based promotion.
Eddie Kingston recently got candid about his career in professional wrestling. The Mad King made his anticipated return to AEW in August following a serious leg injury. He has been open about his struggles while recovering from these issues, making it clear that he is closer to the end of his career than to the beginning.
Speaking on the Busted Open Radio, the 43-year-old star revealed that he wants to become the AEW World Tag Team Champion with either HOOK or Ortiz. He added that it could be an ideal way to benefit the wrestling business to help out a young star. Kingston went on to say that he wants to see All Elite Wrestling grow, and that young guys like HOOK and Ortiz could be ideal choices to carry the company flag.
"Being a Tag Champion with Hook or Ortiz is another goal. And honestly, you know what? When you say most important, honestly, this is me not being a good soldier or anything like that, because I can give a f*ck less. This is about the pro wrestling business," he said.
