Matt Hardy Lauds Eddie Kingston; Compares Him To Mick Foley

At AEW Dynamite: Grand Slam later tonight, NJPW Strong Openweight Champion Eddie Kingston will wage war with sworn enemy Claudio Castagnoli, the ROH World Champion, with both belts on the line.

On a recent edition of his “The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy” podcast, The Broken One discussed the upcoming match, lavishing praise on Kingston and comparing him to WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley. He said,

“It’s huge for Eddie Kingston. It’s truly in his backyard. He very much reminds me of a Mick Foley type persona. He’s this guy that doesn’t have the typical look of a pro wrestler and doesn’t act or perform like a typical pro wrestler. He’s really rough around the edges, but there’s just a charisma about him in his personality and the way he presents himself that just draws people to him. Eddie Kingston is one of the guys who defied the odds, much like Mick Foley defied the odds. I think you’ve got a lot of goals Eddie Kingston wants to achieve that you’re going to see him achieve in the future.”

Eddie Kingston will finally look to win ‘the big one’ in is hometown tonight.
