Very ready for CM Punk/Eddie. Everything Kingston says just feels real, there’s very few like him.

That promo with the two of them was just class, Kingston is easily one of the best mic men in the business 

[djchapsticks]

Kingston/Punk trading verbals is everything I expected it to be. Two guys who you just fucking believe when they speak.

[djchapsticks]

Also, I like that they've not gone down the traditional face/heel route with this, you could have had Eddie being a sneaky b*****d and doing something snide to tip the fans fully towards Punk - instead we just have two guys who have a beef with one another and both have a point, so the crowd are behind both guys.

[Lyle Lanley]

That match is worth the ppv price alone.

Another with massive love for Eddie Vs Punks segment. You can see the foreshadowing of punks eventual heel turn. Can see Eddie getting a lot of the cheers next week

[NotThePars]

Aye if Eddie positions himself as the Punk in the Cena/ Punk feud then the story has potential to be the best in years

Just came on to post this, honestly one of the best things I've ever read related tonpro wrestling. Eddie Kingston is a treasure.

[cb_diamond]

so bloody good

Hamgman/Omega’s still obviously the main thing, but after barely two weeks of build Punk/Kingston feels like the biggest match on there.

AEW really struck gold when they signed Kingston, an absolute legend 

[honestly united]

I wasnt too convinced when he first signed, I'd never heard of him wrestle anywhere before and he just looked like some jobber form the 90's. But he's really grown on me over the months, again technically he's not anything special but puts on a good match, and he's a character you can buy in to.

[Jeff Venom]

In the Punk Kingston segment, Punk said something about Dynamite/Full Gear being above Kingston's level. The way he said it though was so condescending to those on Dark and Elevation, and I hope they keep that in the back burner to build someone up further down the line.

100%, that and the *my ring" comments I see as the direction he'll go when he turns heel.

[Stellaboz]

I hope that's not for a long time. What a fucking waste it would be to do that anytime soon.

[cb_diamond]

Can see it being a slow burn turn

He's tremendous on the mic, one of the very top tier in terms of authenticity and getting folk to buy into him. Its unreal that a guy as talented as him has struggled along for the last two decades without cutting a single meaningful break.

[NotThePars]

Punk being such a good talker who's got a great mind for the biz that's massively over and yet is clearly a total arsehole means you can easily spend months building a heel turn for him that he'd be great for.
