    I think “Arn I swear on my beautiful mothers eyes if you don’t shut up I’m gouging your eye out” might be one of the best lines I’ve ever heard dropped in a promo.

      I've just come from reading that as well, thought I may as well relive this moment. His promo with Punk just gone as well, incredible. That article was amazing, and inspiring despite it being a difficult read. If you've struggled with mental health bad, you've got to think Eddie is such fantastic person for putting that out there and being a role model.

      Eddie ain't acting, and this ain't no joke. He's the real deal.
      I have never wanted a wrestler to succeed more in my whole life, and he got a whole lot of people back home he's making proud.

    "I remember Cody was so great about everything - and he actually asked me what I wanted for my walk-out music and I told him the truth: I said, “Why would I have music? I don’t work here. I wouldn’t have music. I should just run out and start beating the shit out of you, like I’m some guy. Because I am just some guy.”
    And he said, “Alright, but let’s give you a microphone then.”
    I said, “A mic?”
    He said, “Yeah, just come out with the mic and start tearing into me.”"

    Eddie Kingston, I hope you see this, but if you don't that's OK. Your story in the Player's Tribune has rekindled the hope that I have had broken down during the past five years. I'm a military veteran with PTSD, I've lost a parent to pancreatic cancer, and am now losing my other parent to lung cancer. These past years have been tough. Wrestling has saved me from depression, and now you Eddie, are giving me hope again and reminding me not to quit. Thank you for not being a character on TV, but a real person and a man who has fought his own demons and keeps pushing.
