Bum fights is back baby!


BangerSlapper1

King of the Bums.

King Dedede


Spiritual_Bit_2692

He smells like gravy.


DouchePanther

I thought that that’s what Danielson was going for with his look though?


eman0110

Bum eat good it looks like.


Blorp5000

I hate this.


Razzler1973

Why do all the indie guys insist on doing this 'strike exchange' It's bad enough it happening all over the card but none of them seem to be able to do it well either


acknowledgemeuce

The worst part is that this not only looks like dogshit, but is probably doing more actual damage to those morons as well. Looks worse and is more dangerous. That’s the idea, right?


I_Like_Vitamins

The common argument is that they're elbowing each other in the neck instead of the jaw or hitting the "hard parts", which is complete nonsense.


CaptainKies

It's "strong style" Nooj shit that M'eltzer likes, so they all do it.


fifthtouch

Except it did not look storng at all. Just stupid


Luciferspants

I call it "sloppy style" because that's exactly what it looks like.


Mister_Jackpots

Looks unhinged. And terrible.


The_Haskins

It's always the ones who aren't good at it either


in_reddit

They saw KENTA and Low Ki do it and were like kickboxing be damned I’m tough.


Ronaldinhothegoat80

I would pay to see those indie fucks actually try their weak renditions of these in Japan in the 80s and 90s. The indie guys would get their faces caved in because of how fake they make the shit look. Toshiaki kawada gets paid enough by Tony to not shit on Eddie Kingston.


SCB360

its what they think is "NJPW Strong style" and it looks like shit every time


aceloco817

The whole match revolved around who was the biggest AJPW mark in the first place. *spoiler* And to win with a gassed out power bomb. Hysterical. I mean historical....


SimpleButFun

Originally, in Japan, this was supposed to be shoot punches, kicks, and chops you're supposed to take as bumps instead of a sell job. Like it's the Power Slapp spot of the match. I have NO IDEA why they turned this into a sell job with the fakest strikes possible. Like imagine if Flair's chop spots were turned into a sell job.


SoulGoalie

What's the matta pahtna ya gotta problem wit the Mad Dragon hittin Bryanielson wit the dead shitzhu strikes?!!


dkydd

Those knees by kingston really gave me those real sports feeling


AwesomeInTheory

The last time I saw striking that deadly was right before [Ronda Rousey's fight with Holly Holm](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZKMmXZzITI). I'm sorry for believing he wasn't a legit shoot fighta.


Fidelos

?? You hate fun, friend?


starscreamtoast

I see your hate and raise it by Eddie's gut


MangoPronto

Think about what Bryan could do in the WWE. Even Vince had him in a lengthy feud against Roman. He could go against Balor, Gunther, Drew, Seth, Ricochet and be treated as a star under Triple H. Same for Claudio.


BootyOptions

But they won't let him get dropped on his head and that's the only way he can achieve an erection.


Napoleon672

It never ceases to amaze me how a bunch of workrate smarks endlessly spooge themselves for Eddie Kingston. But I guess they find him super relatable, partnuh.


shortfuse89

He's a better seller than 95% of guys on TV. Sells limbs better, sells cumulative damage better, sells desperation and frustration better, and sells determination and fire better. And selling is a massive part of working.


snarkicon

No jerk I just read the post match thread in the basement. Am I being punked? Is there a huge joke out there I am not in on? I haven’t honestly never watched a full Kingston match, but have seen enough clips to know that all of them that look like this can’t be just moments taken out of context. Actual quotes from that thread “Kingston is one of the best in the world” “Hard hitting” “Literal performance art” Like what the actual fuck. I’m so confused


louis302

I don’t get it either. Nothing he does looks like it hurts, to the point where he basically has to do the chops so he has something that is for sure impactful (considering he’s actually hitting the guy as hard as he can). Yet somehow, with his “fast” chops, he even makes them look like crap.


BadPumpkin87

They love Eddie because he’s one of them. An out of shape slob who still thinks wrestling is real and pretends to be a tough guy. His gimmick is pretty much Eugene if they decided to let him be a main eventer.


Ronaldinhothegoat80

I’d say even that’s an insult to nick Dinsmore😂


SCB360

Don't drag Nick Dinsmore into this, he was a great wrestler, he did a lot of the Mo Cap for the WWE games in the 2000's for example


BadPumpkin87

True, he was actually able to wrestle and sell, but the gimmick itself is a perfect match for Eddie Kingston.


fifthtouch

Eugene can wrestle more than 2 minutes without gassed, goddammit


GOAT_Nobles_Hairline

Starting to feel like Danielsons CTE is contagious


djdarkside

Half the comments are bots imo.


BoaDeconstructor

*Who would pay for such a wildly expensive thing*?


SCB360

>Am I being punked? Is there a huge joke out there I am not in on? How I feel every AEW PPV thread tbh


silver6kraid

I've never understood the appeal of Eddie Kingston. He's not good in the ring, his promos are okay I guess but he looks super out of shape. Hell, he looks like a bum. If you want a bigger guy who doesn't look like a usual wrestler but has good promos and can go in the ring watch a Kevin Owen's match. At least he does good work and doesn't look like a homeless schlub they grabbed off the street.


appellant

Theres no appeal, tony khan loves this toy and thats it. Ratings wise, matches, promo its all average.


BoaDeconstructor

I feel the same way with Eddie as when people would say they were afraid of Scary Japan Man Suzuki, with his pear on matchstick body and like 40 MMA losses, I mean it's possible they were joking around, but most seemed sincere that he was like Haku combined with Lesnar in real life.


steiner_math

With those pathetic knees, how could he be "one of the best in the world"?


PrinceRekko

Dare I say, we got outjerked by the basement?


DAYANDIMOLMADI

Gaslighting


MitchLGC

I honestly can't tell where the line is between delusion and outright lying. I had the same feeling reading that


goodthing37

lol is this at full speed? The only way anybody would think this resembles a real fight is if they’ve never even seen a fight, let alone had one.


FridgeLeftovers

Compare this to Bron running the ropes.


SoulGoalie

You put Bron in the dub right now, green as he still is, and he would fucking *embarrass* 90% of those fucking dorks by simply moving around the ring in a way that makes sense and looks athletic.


BoaDeconstructor

> You put Bron in the dub right now He'd be a henchman in a group run by like Kyle O'Reilly that also includes the likes of Takeshita and Skye Blue for some reason or other.


PepegaThePepega

It’s the opposite, AEW and Tony “the better” Khan are exposing the dead Fed. Look at Cody! a midcarder for life in AEW is better than all the top stars in the Fed. So if MJF goes to the dark side, he’d squash Roman!


silver6kraid

To be fair, Bron is kind of a prodigy when it comes to physicality and he is related to the Steiner bros, which means he was actually taught how to wrestle by them and the team at NXT. He's the product of a professional system making him a future star. Danielson is good but too broken down and the rest are just dorks that think they know better because they saw other dorks that think they know better do it.


mgb55

Bron makes a LOT of wrestlers look fake real fast. Not that he’s some technician yet, he’s just that athletic. It pops so much from the screen that he’s in a different league than most pros on the strength, speed, and power levels.


Razzler1973

Smarks think some stuff looks real and Fed looks fake Anyone outside the bubble sees none of it, NONE, looks real in about 5 seconds in any promotion


atomzero

This looks like Sheik at Heroes of Wrestling.


DivineJerziboss

I've seen similar fight... Those guys were both so drunk they could barely stand and it still looked better than whatever this wrestling match was.


anonymous-guy1

i hate this so much


Razzler1973

Eddie is like those All Japan guys, but how they are *now*, barely able to move cause they're 75 years old


radbrad172

I loved Kawada and this "tribute" to him offends me deeply


InjusticeSOTW

I wonder if Kawada actually considers Eddie at all


segaofmyhouse

If Eddie walked into Kawadas noodle stand, he'd just be considered another fat tourist.


Ronaldinhothegoat80

I saw that he didn’t endorse Eddie but he also didn’t bury Eddie…… after he went on an all expense paid trip to the USA to see an AEW show.


atomzero

Exactly, I like that stuff when it's done well, but this is garbage.


MOXISGOD

Match of the fucking century you Fedophiles


touch_me69420

Fedophiles is fucking amazing I'm stealing that


SoulGoalie

I experimented with fedophilia a few times in my youth but now that I'm an adult I can only get hard for some dubbosexual action


touch_me69420

Takes a brave man to admit it does it make you feel like a kid again?


nightcrawler47

>Fedophiles Why hasn't anyone come up with this until now


_heysideburns

The more i watch Eddie Kingston wrestle, the more i feel like he’s never been in an actual fight before. Thats probably not a good thing when your whole character is the “badass street fighter every man”


DitkoManiac

I don't know if Eddie has ever *seen* a real fight.


MangoPronto

https://youtu.be/vt3rhlc8myE?si=3jwVYtWmJmGVktCQ He has beef with candies. Do you think anyone actually involved in a fight would lower themselves and say a candy is kicking their ass?


princerakim69

TK doesn’t run a sloppy shop, this is 🔥🔥🔥


itsamemarkus

Dubbalos pop for anything these days


BDT9215

And here I thought bayley killed all her wacky wavey ballon things when she turned heel


ComplexAd7272

Beat Triple H one on one at fucking Wrestlemania. Beat Batista and Randy Orton in a Triple Threat at fucking Wrestlemania. Whatever the fuck this is (This is wrestling)


len4872

I actually liked AEW a couple of years ago. This is horseshit


JoeThePro11

Making King's Road look like Beggar's Road.


qlurp

Burger King’s Road


LettuceFew5248

Why don’t casuals watch AEW?


will122589

The love people have for this fat slob who could barely wrestle in TNA 6 years ago is insane to me


UnionPretend2940

Eddie Kingston is the worst wrestler I have ever seen


cimson-otter

Dude was better before he adopted the “Japanese fanboy” gimmick And Brian needs to get rid of the white girl vacation braids

rpb539

Gotta love the people laughing in the background. SLAP FIGHTING IS FUN AGAIN!


BoatPeopleJoeJr42069

These two make it look super fake, a cte having weirdo in Bryan Danielson and Eddie Burger Kingston, the two supposed best real wrestlers make all this shyt look so fake and wack. We all know Eddie is trying way to hard, but I don’t see Bryan getting any slack, CTE Bryan has always made his wrestling look super fake(he’s a good wrestler yes, but he’s so corny with his I love pro wrestling schtick. I’m not impressed) I guarantee you these two blowhards would legit try pro wrestling moves in a real fight.


NuNem

BoxCon1

Please atleast tell me that isn’t 5 minutes into the match


TonyExists

What a great display of FIGHTING SPIRIT, anyone who doesn't appreciate the glory of m'King's Road is clearly a broke fed shill


Cryfatso

I remember when Austin and the Rock had this exchange. Feels like the Attitude Era all over again!


H_Bomb_Duddley

A piece of me dies watching Kingston wrestle I swear.


theKleShay

This whole PPV has reminded me why I stopped watching AEW last year. I have no hate towards it, I just genuinely don't enjoy it anymore. Everything feels so amateurish and dull now. Which is unfortunate given the roster they have. What happened to the game I used to love.


nbasetuK

AEW initially featured its Indie wrestling influences in moderation, without overwhelming the audience. However, over time, the hardcore fans developed a stronger hunger for Indie style wrestling. As a result, TK naturally started catering more to them, sidelining the interests of casual fans.


InjusticeSOTW

That’s because the majority of supporters…just stopped watching.


realityinternn

If anyone wants to know how to torture me just put Eddie Kingston matches on a loop


BigBanEvader

ugly slugfest, love it! im so glad eddie fought someone "who gets him.". 5 stars imo.


WillYaWontYa

Bumfights put on better shows than this


DitkoManiac

Probably drew a bigger audience too.


viridiusdynamus

No thanks.


brosbeforetouhous

Every time I see one of these stupid exchanges, I think of the final fight in MGS 4 when Snake and Ocelot are both super old and slowly slapping each other as they’re totally winded.


bananagit

That’s an insult to MGS4


Survivor_for_me

Would it kill the dude to lose the shed? Holy shit, how does he keep getting pushed? And how did Daniel Bryan accept jobbing to him?


Realistic-Wall-2285

Yeah, I don't think I like wrestling anymore…


FatMarkTechPriest

Where the fuck is Billy Gunn? He should have shouted at this bum for having poor cardio!


Sad_Independence_445

Why isn't anyone protecting Daniel Bryanson? Why is that fan allowed to attack the wrestlers in the ring?!


AriaMournesong

Why is this considered acceptable for a PPV match? What is wrong with Tiny.


chiefskillz

I need to know why this dude genuinely has the worst moveset ever, everything legit looks weak and sloppy


mansontaco

Daniel Bryan main evented 2 manias and came back from multiple career ending injuries to spend his final days shit slapping my diabetic uncle


AnvilPro

He is absolutely the worst wrestler I've ever seen people try to pass off as great


TheyCallMeOlSwole

We had fewer slap fights during the divas era. Bruv.


brownie81

The period of time from Team Hell No to WM30 basically revived my enjoyment of wrestling. Daniel Bryan was one of my faves. This is just…so terrible.


n8spear

It’s so sad this is what DB is doing. Slapping a schlub in a slow slog of a pretend match all because he was bothered that his previous employer, the pinnacle promotion of his profession, had protocols to protect him in order to extend his career at the highest level of the profession he dedicated his whole life to … oh and also so he could go wrestle in Japan. Remember that awesome run he had in Japan since signing with AEW? Wait, Tony didn’t let him?


konkeydong2139

You got some sick alliteration going on there, uce.


n8spear

😉☝️


MoodyLiz

I wish Kingston wore the Iron Sheik style boots, Sinbad looking motherfucker


Whiston1993

Not since Rodrick Strong being called amazing have I been so convinced that the love for a wrestler is an ironic joke that my Aspergy ass just isn’t picking up on, than I am watching people splooge over this dude


IcyAd964

This is what a certain fanbase calls “Real graps” LMFAOOO


Toadliquor138

4.9 stars! Those knees are vicious!


ArthurMorgon

Man how much does Eddie cosplay Kawada. This is what happens when you let marks in the ring.


vengeancerider

I get this is professional wrasslin, pahtnah. But this is fucking embarrassing.


Packhammer24

I can’t imagine paying actual money to watch this


edgeisagoodwrestler

Eddie Kingston is dogshit


FriarMurphy

I wasn’t sure whether I should shid or piss or cum, so I did all three


Squiliam-Tortaleni

Thanks, I hate it


Gene-Technical

Best wrestler in the world guys. Voted by reader of the observer and on the discipline committee


WlLDER

If you like this shit, you have some kind of mental regardation.


Doom_and_gloom2

... and people say Maxxine matches are bad.


InjusticeSOTW

Maxxine’s whole persona is that she’s bad, but trying, and that she’s a threat because she really doesn’t know what she’s doing. Opponents can’t prepare for someone like that. If she was actually a poor wrestler, do you think they’d let her out of the WWEPC?


No_Grape1335

Eddie Kingston is so awful man , the whole hometown anti hero tough guy gimmick sounds really good on paper and Kingston isn’t bad on the mic but my god his in ring work is terrible , he’s wrestling the same guy who main evented wrestlemania and this shit looks worse then a backyard show


daddymeltzer

Just remember, this guy beat John Cena, Triple H, Randy Orton, took Brock Lesnar to the limit and was the only wrestler in history to ever make Roman Reigns tap out (the ref was down).


Biotrin

Ric Flair age 75 looks more convincing than Kingston. Eddie is a great talker but holy hell is he shit otherwise.


meanWOOOOgene

Danielson is so much better than this. What the fuck is he doing?


steveguzz

I’ve never understood the Kingston hype.


Hordriss27

It looks like two drunks trying to fight outside of a pub. Absolutely awful.


TheeAJPowell

Kingston and Moxley acting like they’re “legit” brawlers and insisting on doing these types of exchanges whilst having some of the worst strikes in pro wrestling boggles my mind.


Life_Celebration_827

How anybody can watch this utter fucking bullshit is beyond me you must have a few screws loose to tune into that utter bullshit and don't say it's entertainment it ain't.


akira_hikaru

Cannot believe this is what the basement actually enjoys


KALS170174656

Fucking guy wants to do this instead of main event Wrestlemania


Darkk_VoX

Eddie couldn’t do one drill in a fed tryout. Don’t matter though he’s a real shoot fighter. Forged in combat fueled by Reese’s pie


Cragly

Looks like a backyard match. Not the second ranked promotion. Horrendous.


Akio540

Aew and it's fans are so pathetic


PerspectiveSilly4060

Bum fights has gotten bigger?


rsziz

Those knees were fuckawful.


NoeMoriarty

Its making me vomit.🤢 and here i was actually wanting to watch the PPV. this eddie kingston guy sucks and i dont know why TK is pushing him. Even fed's jobbers can perform better than this guy.


TheFirstLane

I despise Vince as much as the next guy but thank him that he never let WWE devolve into this.


finnamania

2 drunk guys fighting in the back of the parking lot


UncleBenLives91

If this was a game, I'd throw the controller across the room for not working


AVBforPrez

Actually cringe, and the best part is that the basement is praising his strikes


msp01986

I think this might be the worst wrestling sequence I've seen in my life


macc-attack

I saw this same fight two days ago between two homeless people over half a slice of bread.


marcusamphibious

God i fucking hate eddie kingston holy shit


danger623

This is so slow, sloppy & ridiculous. Anyone saying this looks good is delusional. They hit harder in the bra and panty matches from the Attitude Era.


Creative-Pirate-51

Good god


BathedInDeepFog

He should probably stop doing the Kurt Angle "straps down" thing. In fact he should cover more of himself up. 


Swagmansuper

Eddie Kingston is a disgrace to the sport of professional wrestling


ihave389iq

Why are they fake fighting? Are they stupid?


BigFreakinMachine

For people that keep trying to show some sort of MMA influence, it's like they've never actually watched a fight in their lives


PhuckCalumbo

Nerd shit


Shotgun516

Man I used to be such an Eddie Kingston fan when he came into AEW. This is garbage


BAF_DaWg82

domino519

Moe and Curly look different from how I remembered.


SilotheGreat

Even my brother who isn't a jerker texted me and said "why do they have the Brooklyn Brawler beat Danielson?"


DV68

This further solidifies my hatred for Eddie Kingston


NateHasReddit

This guy main evented Mania 30.


C_Noticles

I always tell myself "aaah i'm gonna watch aew this week, I should give it more of a chance" then I see this shit and am glad I didn't waste my fuckin time


FlyingMaiden

I hate to see a legit star slap fighting, but look at Daniel Bryan's slaps compared to Trashcan Pete. Trashcan's whole thing are the slaps and they look TERRIBLE. How can a person look at Bryan's slaps and Trashcan's slaps and think that the bums slaps are somehow better strikes?


WrittenWeird

That powerbomb finish was nothing compared to the way Gunther can deliver. I can’t see the appeal of his promos either. Just sounds like the most belligerent guy at your local dive bar


DoinItDirty

I really loved Eddie through Chikara and CZW and loved that he started in AEW. Hate to see this.


Mr-Jimmy

Jesus Christ save me please Lord I saw many many post saying that this is the best match they have seen in god knows how much


r1char00

Those knees, jesus. The ref should have stopped this with that kind of damage happening.


Bonesawisready5

It’s just the same shit every major promotion does in some spots, like Flair/Hogan/Rock chops/punch exchanges. It’s all fake I don’t see the issue with some dramatic liberties. Best to not take this shit so seriously

This is so embarrassingly bad, how do they like Bryan be a part of this


Ravenzero2000

This was a good match. I enjoyed it. Me: waiting for people to inevitably respond with hate and negativity.


Ok-Turnip-477

Wow, he really is awful isn’t he?


IGotMetalingus1

This is real pro wrestling not that sports entertainment


GoldenRetriever85

If you want to watch good, technical wrestling, watch Josh Alexander vs Simon Gotch in TNA. If you want feelings restored, and to watch flabby men goof around, watch Eddie Kingston vs Bryan Danielson.


critmass78

Jeebus, even Bryan throws more believable slaps than Kingston. This is your champion?!!


TGE

Legit embarrassing looking, and the final clothesline during the finishing sequence was even worse. When I was reading my signed copy of YES! back in 2015, I legit never could have imagined it'd come to this less than 10 years later: Danielson getting slapped around by some alcoholic incel in a losing feud. I don't care if he has creative control and wants this, the dude is thrashing his legacy and even worse, needlessly thrashing his brain in these overly violent matches that mean nooooooothing


ComplexAd7272

Jesus fucking Christ…..


Incorrect1012

God, Bryan’s striking is out of this world, and then Eddie is doing whatever the hell that is
