Tony Schiavone loves Eddie Kingston and wants the world to know it.
The AEW commentator spoke about the Mad King during the latest edition of his What Happened When podcast. Schiavone was discussing Kingston winning the NJPW STRONG Openweight Championship from KENTA last weekend, a moment he believes is one of the top in Kingston’s career. He then says Kingston is his all-time favorite wrestler because everything he does is so real.
I think it’s probably his top moment. That’s not really saying anything derogatory about what he’s done for us, but I mean, knowing how much he loves pro wrestling from Japan, and just good. I will say it probably til the day I die, he’s my favorite wrestler of all time. He really is, for so many reasons. What Eddie does seems, looks and is real.
Elsewhere on his podcast, Schiavone explained why he thinks studio wrestling will never make a big return in the industry. You can read about that here.
