![]() What does matter is that 2004 is a long time ago, and both men have talked a great deal about how much growing up they’ve done over the years. ![]() We’ll never know, and it doesn’t really matter, but it’s a fun little diversion. If I’m right, it also gives us a tantalizing list of possible identities for Meltzer’s anonymous source:ĪLL WORKERS: Abyss, Ace Steel, AJ Styles, Alex Shelley, Anthony Franco, Arik Cannon, Austin Aries, BJ Whitmer, Chad Collyer, Chris Candido, Chris Sabin, Christopher Daniels, Claudio Castagnoli, CM Punk, Danny Daniels, Davey Andrews, Delirious, Eddie Kingston, Evan Starsmore, Jack Marciano, Jim Fannin, Matt Turner, Mercedes Martinez, MsChif, Nate Webb, Nigel McGuinness, Petey Williams, Roderick Strong, Ryan Boz, Samoa Joe, Shane Hagadorn, Steve Stone, Super Dragon, The Wild Cards I could see why Eddie hung onto that hate and anger for so long.”Ī little internet sleuthing at my favorite website, Cagematch, leads me to believe this 2004 IWA Mid-South show in Evansville, Indiana might be ground zero for one of Full Gear’s hottest matches. Marciano had just accidentally injured Delirious in a previous match and Punk was hot about it, so just buried them nonstop. I was sitting right there in an IWA Mid South locker room when Punk called Eddie and his partner at the time, Blackjack Marciano, fat, lazy and unsafe. “I can fully vouch for Eddie’s promo on Punk the other night. Dave Meltzer ran the anonymous quote in today’s edition: ![]() That’s according to a wrestler who wrote in to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. They stayed for the whole ride.Not that Eddie Kingston can’t sell an entirely kayfabe angle, but if his words felt a little more real when he and CM Punk were promo-ing at each other on last Friday’s Rampage, it’s probably because they were based in reality. And I’m very lucky and blessed that they decided to stick with me. And they’ve all been the ones who stayed to have my back. I definitely pushed her away in the beginning, you know what I mean? And then the same thing with a lot of people who had my back who are part of my support system, I’ve tried to push them all away. It was very weird how the friendship grew so quickly, but she got me right away. And then we just started, you know, clicking and understanding each other. And then as time went on, we started talking deeper about things. I knew she was one of Roc’s kids, as I put it, and I just wanted to look out for giving her advice. If I see that he has a student or he says, ‘Hey, King, this kid’s my student.’ I’ll look out for them. Like, for instance, another example is Pepper Parks. And, you know, I do that for certain people. So knowing that I knew her trainer, and how much of a good person her trainer was, I decided to look out for anybody who is one of his students. I just remember when she first started out wrestling, I knew her trainer, Billy Roc. On how his friendship with Ruby Soho started: “Oh, man. And then they may do it to their significant other, and so on and so forth. And all it takes is one person to be affected by losing you and then the next thing you know, they may get depressed, and they may get down now. And that’s what I want people to understand is that you may feel alone, but there’s always one person who will be hurt and will be affected by it. Whether you think they are or not, they are there. Because it’s not just you that you’re hurting at the end of the day, it’s your friends and your family. And then once that person gets affected by what happened, another person will get affected, and another person will get affected, and another, and so on and so forth. That, at least, I know for a fact one person will care. But at the end of the day, one person cares. Or maybe you hurt nobody when you get to that dark place, you think nobody cares. On how it feels to be in that place: “When I got to that point, you kind of just think maybe you hurt one person. I don’t remember a day where that word wasn’t around.” It feels like the word ‘suicide’ has been around all my life, you know? It seems like it’s always been there. But I was extremely close to that breaking point, as I like to call it. On how suicide has personally impacted him: “I’ve lost a couple of friends to it.
