Eddie Kingston looked back on his time with Ring of Honor through several different eras ahead of his outing at ROH/MLP Global Wars in Canada last Friday.
Kingston teamed with Ortiz to defeat the team of Adam Priest and Tommy Billington through the event. But 20 years ago he made his first appearance for the promotion as a part of the invading CZW roster, having a novel insight on the corporate’s growth as someone to have worked through the various eras until now.
“I used to be within the era of when Gabe [Sapolsky] was there,” he told “The Takedown on SI. “After which I used to be within the era of HD Net, after which I used to be within the era of, I consider, Destination America. Then, I used to be within the era of Sinclair for no less than, , somewhat bit before I got in trouble. By myself, it was my very own fault, and Homicide, but no it was my very own fault.”
He became ROH World Champion eventually in Tony Khan’s iteration of ROH after he acquired the promotion in 2022. And he said the promotion means loads to him consequently of his tenure, nonetheless sporadic it could have been.
“So yeah I have been in every era of Ring of Honor and Ring of Honor means loads to me,” he continued. “Because once I broke in, the style that Ring of Honor was presenting, they were the one ones presenting it… And Ring of Honor wa the place to be when you were an independent wrestler at one cut-off date. Ring of Honor was AEW without the cash.”
Kingston took a while to mull over time and credit Khan for giving him the chance and constructing that place that independent wrestlers wanted to return. And he said he feels proud to have the option to represent that.
