In what might be the plot of the world’s most heart-wrenching wrestling soap opera, Eddie Kingston’s 2024 seems scripted by the wrestling gods to test his mettle. After starting the year decked out in championship gold, Kingston has hit a streak colder than a Siberian winter, losing not one, not two, but all three of his prestigious titles. But hold on to your hats, folks—there’s more turbulence ahead for Kingston in this high-octane drama!
A Nasty Tumble at NJPW Resurgence: During the bone-rattling Last Man Standing No Ropes Match at Saturday’s NJPW Resurgence, Eddie Kingston and Gabriel Kidd took brutality to new heights. But it was Kingston who paid a steep price. After a harrowing suplex that sent him sailing through the air and crashing through a table, his leg had an unfortunate rendezvous with a guardrail. The aftermath? Our man Kingston was spotted sporting a “bad limp,” as reported by the keen eyes over at Fightful Select.
Uncertain Road to Recovery: Dave Meltzer of “Wrestling Observer Radio” dished out the grim details, leaving fans everywhere biting their nails over the severity of Kingston’s injury. With no clear updates on how bad things are, the wrestling community is left to wonder how this will affect his upcoming Anarchy In The Arena Match at AEW Double or Nothing. Can Kingston rally back to team up with FTR and Bryan Danielson against The New Elite’s squadron of Matt Jackson, Nick Jackson, Jack Perry, and Kazuchika Okada?
A Year of Highs and Lows: It’s clear that 2024 isn’t pulling any punches with Eddie Kingston. From holding titles in AEW, ROH, and NJPW to watching them slip through his fingers to rivals like Mark Briscoe, Okada, and Kidd—Kingston’s resilience is being tested like never before. But if there’s one thing his fans know, it’s that Eddie doesn’t back down from a fight, no matter the odds.
As the wrestling world watches, one can only hope Kingston’s indomitable spirit will see him through this latest trial. Here’s to hoping the “Mad King” can turn his misfortunes around and reclaim his throne in the squared circle!
