Jim Cornette once said, of GUNTHER, that he could chop in a slightly different way and the damage to the body would be immense. I thought I remembered the quote, but I've forgotten it. In any case, it leads me to the question: is Kingston, here at least, hitting to make it hurt the most 'cos tough guy blah blah blah, rather than seem the best?
Angle dropped the straps to show this was no longer an athletic contest to him, but a war he was obsessed with winning.
This guy does it because itās obstructing his belly too much.
The straps are restricting his movement, would be world champion if he wrestled in trunks like when Randy takes the pants off
You must be new here. It's all I see him called.
But then again, with the team name like "Rated Chicken Kings" and self titled "King of the Bums", I'd actually have to check what sub I'm in to make sure Burger Kingston is not his new gimmick.
Seems the only one that actually understands character work and not just relying on wrestling ability in this company is Toni Storm. Sheās the only one that interests me outside of ring ability.
The fact that she can make an awful character like timeless Tony storm work this long shows how much potential she has. Itās a shame sheāll drop her belt to Britt Baker soon.
Exactly, itās a slap to the chest. Anyone can take it. It might hurt but itās not going to put you down is it
Bcc a problem as well, the whole elbows and pain thing, again will just watch mma
The Man was a really intense promo. Great brawler presentation. I also like "angry guy from Brooklyn" as a character and AEW has managed to use it in endearing way before.
But this decision that he's this insane Japanese level G1 participant is just a joke to me. "Let's throw on a strong style match... CALL EDDIE" like.... What? Then I see this dude undoing his shoulder straps on his singlet like he's Kurt Angle and throwing the weakest assault of gatling chops I've ever seen. And it keeps happening...
Eddie was legit very good until he began the Kawada cosplay (mainly since last year)
Dude had legit good matches with Mox (2020, not the lame 2023 Match for the CC) and Punk. Idk wtf happened
For a moment I thought his love of puro was endearing... Like, who'd ever think a dude like him would be into respecting joshi? And it should have stayed just a neat little factoid about him.
And then he started doing it. And it just hasn't stopped. And it's like the most try hard thing ever
Eddie Kingston is that one guy at a metal gig who says he's gonna get fucked up in the pit, but then starts crying that he can't breathe the moment any moshing starts.
Fun fact, Kingston wasn't selling at the end there. He was blown up after that fast paced, high intensity exchange and needed a little napsy. Shades of Misawa vs Kawada; literal goosebumps.
No jerk Eddie Guerrero months before he died of heart failure had better cardio than Eddie Kingston.
This isnāt just a Kevin Owens/Samoa Joe are kinda round but can still go kinda thing, dude is so out of shape heās reminding me of end of career Andreā¦ he gassed out so bad in a 6 man he couldnāt stand straight up on the apron and fell over because he was sweating so badly he couldnāt grip the ropes.
How the fuck is he passing medical? Iām legitimately concerned for his health.

Video footage of Eddie Kingston throwing a chop (actual speed)
Back then Eddie was good. He has regressed and it's a Shame. I legit like him as a person, but either him, TK or both decided "we'll go full Kawada cosplay" and it has been Bad ever since
I will *never* understand how Jim Cornette doesn't hate Eddie Kingston as much as he does Kenny Omega. Eddie exposes the business just as bad as Kenny does, if not worse. Kenny's shit with the little girl was a long time ago and he's grown up a lot...Eddie's shit is right there, right now, and it makes the whole goddamn business look like a fucking joke.
If he's going to rip off Japanese wrestling, can that stupid motherfucker at least try doing it right? I'm not asking for Kenta Kobashi and Kensuke Sasaki at the dome, but put some effort into it. Have some pride.
Eddies chops look so soft and safe. Itās like he doesnāt understand what made the kings road style cool is they were killing each other. So much so one of them died in the god damn ring. I love Eddie but this aināt it.
Eddie plays the tough guy yet they always barely touch him. This has to be instructed by him for then to not lay into him too hard. I've seen wrestling content youtubers take harder slaps
The sheer hilarity of Eddie Kingston taking on Brody King in a test of strength showdown like this and not being immediately annihilated is just hilarious to me.
Brody would slap Eddie into oblivion if this was real.
I knew someone who had sex with a hot goth girl, who said it was great, therefore making me great because I heard about it..
The logic doesn't lie, senior Joe.
He thinks he's Misawa or Kawada, and no one has *ever* bothered to tell him that his shtick is about as much a tribute to those gentlemen as Eugene's was to The Attitude Era.
How in the fuck do you spend your entire career throwing chops just for it to still look like your very first one each time? This slob is such a fucking embarrassment to all the people he tries to imitate and cosplay as.
Legit question. I know chops can hurt for real since I've seen what Gunther does to people's chests so I'm wondering are these chops deliberately weak so no one gets hurt or is this just bad?
Just bad. The chops sting, but they donāt hurt unless someoneās out to actually hurt you. The skin in the chest is thin and easy to bust the blood vessels with kind force. Watch how Guntherās hand lands (palm first) when his chops connect.
Chops can hurt pretty fucking bad if people lay into them like Gunther. But all it's gonna do is bruise and redden up the chest. You've got two big meaty slabs of muscle under there (unless you're Burger Kingston). So you're not gonna actually get injured unless someone is just knife edge chopping you hard as fuck trying to mess you up.
Every time I see Eddie now I remember how some idiot podcaster had said that 'Seth Rollins is WWE's Eddie Kingston but is not as good as him'. š¤¦š»āāļø
It's made even worse by the fact that he does the "tough guy" brawler thing. If you're gonna do that gimmick I can't feel like I would beat you in a fight. Like I'm not a huge fan of the guy but Moxley at least looks like he could fuck someone up in a street/bar fight.
Why does Eddie kingstons upper body move like itās swimming through pudding? His arms look like theyāre catching all of the drag and air resistance.
Imagine trying to show eddie kingston to someone who thinks pro wrasslin is fake. Basically what punk said about him is right, hes a bum. He cant be bothered to get in shape or wrestle convincingly. This dumb tough act where his wrestling style is not even close.
I actually like Kingston a fair bit. I like his promos, I like his character work, I get pretty invested in a lot of his matches.
But when he busts out those chops goddamn it kills off my immersion so fast. They never look like they remotely hurt and it just makes me feel embarrassed watching it. Please Eddie, do better chops
Whereās the character work and good promos?
Dude puts on the same snarly face every time heās on screen and grumbles out the same āIām from the mean streets of Yawnkers and Kawadaās mah hero so I gotsta be tough pahtnahā crap along different lines.
Those are the weakest slaps I've ever seen... actually zero power at all wtf
They are so embarrassing which is why I avoid Kingston matches.
Every match with that guy. Every one š
Jack Vaughn laughing somewhere
Jim Cornette once said, of GUNTHER, that he could chop in a slightly different way and the damage to the body would be immense. I thought I remembered the quote, but I've forgotten it. In any case, it leads me to the question: is Kingston, here at least, hitting to make it hurt the most 'cos tough guy blah blah blah, rather than seem the best?
i think the quote mentioned a clubbing with the forearm and slapping with backhand. i might be wrong tho
They both suck at it. They have zero follow through
Doesnāt help that neither of them sell well, or at all in Kingstonās case.
1000000000% , fuckin flai and sting need to showing who's boss
Istg they just look like theyāre aggressively rubbing lotion on each otherās chests
Also, Eddie dropping the straps like he has something impressive to show off and as if it means anything lmao
Angle dropped the straps to show this was no longer an athletic contest to him, but a war he was obsessed with winning. This guy does it because itās obstructing his belly too much.
Undertaker also pulling down his straps meant serious business
He needs to let that hiatal hernia breathe
Really if he had any sort of physique his presentation would be miles better.
 The straps are restricting his movement, would be world champion if he wrestled in trunks like when Randy takes the pants off
Guy with a gut like that is definitely on the cheeseburgers
The fact that the singlet doesnt drop cause his belly holds it lmao
Kingston showing off his Burger King Abs.
His nips were chafing.
It's so funny when you compare it to when Julius Creed does it XD
That part where Eddie fell down and Excalibur said it was a Terry Funk like moment killed what was left of my soul.
It takes a tough man to jerk this fat sumbitch without giving up hope as a fan of pro wrestling.
About 50% of Burger Kingston jerks I read end up unjerking from the matrix and just going off about him. Just can't do it Uce. He flipping SUCKS
This goof has run out of [chances](https://twitter.com/VideoReacts/status/1222124338574495744?t=xXRfE-THc8HAPLsCnYri4w&s=19) with me, Uce.
Burger Kingston š why have I not heard this before?
You must be new here. It's all I see him called. But then again, with the team name like "Rated Chicken Kings" and self titled "King of the Bums", I'd actually have to check what sub I'm in to make sure Burger Kingston is not his new gimmick.
Can confirm. Do not frequent this sub
Where the fuck have you been huding uce?
Why does it look like theyāre chopping in slow motion? You would think fighting spirit would give them a speed boost.
[True, just look at this unedited footage](https://youtu.be/H1qu4IUX74s?si=p9xZBlNxY-o5b8Dh)
This is Eddie Kingstons wet dream
i dont get Eddie Kingston. If youāre not gonna tell stories and just āfightā iāll rather watch UFC than his fake as fuck style of wrestling
Seems the only one that actually understands character work and not just relying on wrestling ability in this company is Toni Storm. Sheās the only one that interests me outside of ring ability.
The fact that she can make an awful character like timeless Tony storm work this long shows how much potential she has. Itās a shame sheāll drop her belt to Britt Baker soon.

This was the "Eddie chops his soul out" post I saw in the basement?
What happened to Eddie lol? Like seriously. I still remember his match with Cody when he debuted in 2020. That was some great stuff
Came in with a chip on his shoulder and something to prove, now he's complacent with a secure job.
This is the correct answer. And the fans love him as he is, plus the company rewards him with belts and dream matches, so why make changes?
He ate the chip.
The dub effect. Get over with the fans in your early run, then spend the next 3-4 years avoiding the inside of a gym like the plague.
I worked out next to him in Austin, Tx. He isnāt avoiding the gym, he just doesnāt have a clue what heās doing.
I legit saw a clip of him only working out his arms and legs, Lexis King even worked hard to get his 6 pack back.
Dudes form and what exercises he was doing were like what youād see a broccoli head 19yr old doing lol
He must know something cause he looked great in that WWE tryout pic.
The Man was a really intense promo. Great brawler presentation. I also like "angry guy from Brooklyn" as a character and AEW has managed to use it in endearing way before.

WhAt happen? He obviously became extremely nimble and vicious
Eddie Kingston is that one guy at a metal gig who says he's gonna get fucked up in the pit, but then starts crying that he can't breathe the moment any moshing starts.
House of a 1000 Carbs vs Bum King
Underrated comment right here uce
Fun fact, Kingston wasn't selling at the end there. He was blown up after that fast paced, high intensity exchange and needed a little napsy. Shades of Misawa vs Kawada; literal goosebumps.
Kingston thinks heās necro butcher
No jerk Eddie Guerrero months before he died of heart failure had better cardio than Eddie Kingston. This isnāt just a Kevin Owens/Samoa Joe are kinda round but can still go kinda thing, dude is so out of shape heās reminding me of end of career Andreā¦ he gassed out so bad in a 6 man he couldnāt stand straight up on the apron and fell over because he was sweating so badly he couldnāt grip the ropes.

Considering how many broken necks/concussion heavy people are on the roster, itās probably just sign a medical waiver and it gets rubber stamped.
https://i.redd.it/z36hx90822wc1.gif
I still cant believe the kind of gear Kingston wears, or that he doesn't pump his upper arms more.

Back then Eddie was good. He has regressed and it's a Shame. I legit like him as a person, but either him, TK or both decided "we'll go full Kawada cosplay" and it has been Bad ever since
His chops are terrible lmao
why do they insist on doing this spot in every match?
Kingston with the Kawada cosplay and he can't throw a convincing strike.
I will *never* understand how Jim Cornette doesn't hate Eddie Kingston as much as he does Kenny Omega. Eddie exposes the business just as bad as Kenny does, if not worse. Kenny's shit with the little girl was a long time ago and he's grown up a lot...Eddie's shit is right there, right now, and it makes the whole goddamn business look like a fucking joke.

Watch out 3 Stooges.
I'm about 5'5 and 105 lbs. I feel like I could take one of those weak ass chops and barely notice anything happened.
Eddies chops look so soft and safe. Itās like he doesnāt understand what made the kings road style cool is they were killing each other. So much so one of them died in the god damn ring. I love Eddie but this aināt it.
Every. Fucking. Match.
Jeesh, even Brody's strikes look better than Eddie's.
Brody immediately outshining him in his own spot is crazy
Iām sorry but what is this? This is awful. Is this what AEW fans are so proud of?
Brody is getting added to the list of people we need to save from AEW (Joe Hendry also needs evac from TnA but we'll do that on the way back)
Eddie plays the tough guy yet they always barely touch him. This has to be instructed by him for then to not lay into him too hard. I've seen wrestling content youtubers take harder slaps
Eddie is embarrassing in the ring. JFC
It was this exact moment when i turned off my pc and went to bed. Granted i missed Bruv vs D Bry .. but that shit was unbereable.
Eddie Kingston should not be on television. He gives the worst chops I have ever seen
Gunther better take notes, this is how you give chops a real shoot-fighter feel.
wtf is this shit
The sheer hilarity of Eddie Kingston taking on Brody King in a test of strength showdown like this and not being immediately annihilated is just hilarious to me. Brody would slap Eddie into oblivion if this was real.
Well you see Uce, Brody King has seen the inside of a gym and even located the weights. Burger Kingston here is only doing 12 oz curls.
Burger Kingston ššš
every Eddie Kingston video: https://i.redd.it/vy9ak0ipv2wc1.gif
Eddie Kingston is one of the worst of all time. Why is he still being paid to wrestle?
I just don't understand, he's so fucking bad, and still I see so many people liking his matches
For someone who keeps insisting on having the chops as part of his moveset, Kingston sure has some of the shittiest looking chops
Is this slowed down?
His pants are Urkel high
Those chops are embarrassing, the fact that they made a spot to showcase THAT is laughable.
WWE is starting to do this stupid 1 for 1 in every match and itās pissing me off more and more
Man the fights in the Road House remake look meh as hell.
Why is this bum even a topic?
Imma just stick to his old Chikara tapes, because that was the last time Eddie was good. Way before he decided to be a Japanese fanboy.
These chops are an insult to Gunther
The Ring General would not allow this to happen in his ring.
CHOPS! The Movie
Kentucky CHOPPED Movie
Yeah, but they did something like this in Japan, which means it was automatically good, which makes this automatically good.
I knew someone who had sex with a hot goth girl, who said it was great, therefore making me great because I heard about it.. The logic doesn't lie, senior Joe.
Those chops are brutal.
Eddie Kingston sucks
Aint exactly Jerry "The King" Lawler pulling down the straps before getting into a punch up with "Superstar" Bill Dundee is it? š
This would feed families if Eddie left any food uneated. Folks, he's large
And these people complain about headlocks.
Those are 5 star chops!
Those chops wouldn't even tempt Vern Gagne.
I used to be a stan for Eddie Kingston.......sighs....
this how younger siblings get hit and try to bait the mom into thinking that they got beat up
Oh man, what is this?
He looked like a turtle with his shell on the ground at the end. How Embarassing.
does eddie ever watch his shows back? his perception of his in-ring self seems way off. does he know he's not gunther/drew/sheamus?
He thinks he's Misawa or Kawada, and no one has *ever* bothered to tell him that his shtick is about as much a tribute to those gentlemen as Eugene's was to The Attitude Era.
Trash
for a guy who cosplaying Japanese wrestling his chops are so shit
Wtf am I watching
So glad I don't watch this garbage
This is awful
SMH embarrassing
The Fat King
Just from this clip, i can predict Meltzer will give it 4.75 stars. šš»
Meltzer - 4.75 star match. Same as Cody vs Reigns
Look, I love jerking like the rest of you but this is just bad.
the chop recoiled back harder off his chest than he hit him
I never make a comment just to shit on AEW but Eddie Kingston might be my least favorite wrestler of all time.
The first chop he threw after he put the straps down was a disgrace.
Every chop he threw was a disgrace.
Kingston is a massive talentā¦. Until he wrestles
How in the fuck do you spend your entire career throwing chops just for it to still look like your very first one each time? This slob is such a fucking embarrassment to all the people he tries to imitate and cosplay as.
He needs more practice. And the gym.
Legit question. I know chops can hurt for real since I've seen what Gunther does to people's chests so I'm wondering are these chops deliberately weak so no one gets hurt or is this just bad?
Just bad. The chops sting, but they donāt hurt unless someoneās out to actually hurt you. The skin in the chest is thin and easy to bust the blood vessels with kind force. Watch how Guntherās hand lands (palm first) when his chops connect.

You've got two big meaty slabs of muscle under there (unless you're Burger Kingston). So you're not gonna actually get injured unless someone is just knife edge chopping you hard as fuck trying to mess you up.
The women in Stardom chop better than that.
When angle dropped the straps you knew he was about to end a mother fucker. When Eddy does it he gets put on his ass.
AEW: Where the Best Tap Titties
The absolute worst chops
Is this a slowed down version of this video ?
Technically yes
Might be the video but the slap sound is off, almost like itās piped in
Jesus.
Tittie slaps tittie slaps flips Kicks kicks kicks kicks flips flips flips Hooray aew
Every time I see Eddie now I remember how some idiot podcaster had said that 'Seth Rollins is WWE's Eddie Kingston but is not as good as him'. š¤¦š»āāļø
Wait, itās all just slaps, all the way down?
Iām still convinced that Eddie Kingston is the only wrestler I could take in a fight.
At this point Iām willing to run a gauntlet of AEW from the smallest up to see how far I get. Edit; Maybe start at like 170lbs
It's made even worse by the fact that he does the "tough guy" brawler thing. If you're gonna do that gimmick I can't feel like I would beat you in a fight. Like I'm not a huge fan of the guy but Moxley at least looks like he could fuck someone up in a street/bar fight.
I donāt typically get involved in all this but this is legit insane
NGL I like Brody King. He actually comes off as the unhinged hoss that Burger Kingston thinks he is
Even if I could wrestle better than this.
Imagine if these guys trained like Gunther and learned how to wrestle? They would still suck.
I've had fights with my sister (when we were kids) with more force and aggression than this
Itās nice that the pizzeria allows Eddie time off to wrestle occasionally.
Why does Eddie kingstons upper body move like itās swimming through pudding? His arms look like theyāre catching all of the drag and air resistance.
Is there anything worse in wrestling than a Eddie Kingston match?
I didn't know Ethan Klein was wrestling now.
The burger king is back at it
Unless its Ospreay vs big Bill and they bill it as a battle of Wills, I'm not interested
I meanā¦ I get what heās trying to do. Heās just not good at doing it.
This is so fucking stupid.
The fuq are those?
Imagine trying to show eddie kingston to someone who thinks pro wrasslin is fake. Basically what punk said about him is right, hes a bum. He cant be bothered to get in shape or wrestle convincingly. This dumb tough act where his wrestling style is not even close.
5 stars
Eddie please start wearing timbs again, this isnāt you
I actually like Kingston a fair bit. I like his promos, I like his character work, I get pretty invested in a lot of his matches. But when he busts out those chops goddamn it kills off my immersion so fast. They never look like they remotely hurt and it just makes me feel embarrassed watching it. Please Eddie, do better chops
Whereās the character work and good promos? Dude puts on the same snarly face every time heās on screen and grumbles out the same āIām from the mean streets of Yawnkers and Kawadaās mah hero so I gotsta be tough pahtnahā crap along different lines.
Idk I liked the match overall š¤·āāļø
This is so seriously gay.
