Eddie Kingston: 'I'm So Happy for LA Knight. That Dude Busts His Ass'

While in Las Vegas for NJPW's Fighting Spirit Unleashed, Eddie Kingston did an interview with Adrian Hernandez. Kingston is the ROH and NJPW Strong Openweight Champion. Scroll down for the full interview.

Eddie Kingston on winning the ROH Championship:

"I usually take these moments in when I'm in the hotel by myself. I'll take it in for a little bit, but then my brain is like, onto the next thing. We got to hurry up. I got this other thing to do. I gotta keep going. I gotta do something at work or something. Something just clicks in my head, but I do take time. Whether it's an hour after when I'm in the hotel room or two hours, three hours, I take time to sit back and go alright, this ain't bad. This is pretty cool.”

Eddie Kingston talking about his CM Punk promo that went viral:

"I'm doing my job. That's how I felt. You know what I mean? I didn't know what anyone else in the locker room felt. I didn't care is how I felt. I didn't want him there. I mean, me and Punk don't like each other and that's fine. You're not gonna like everybody you work with. You know what I mean? Do I wish he was still in AEW and I wish it worked out differently? Yeah, because he helped the company, but other than that, I don't give a f**k what he does. You know what I mean? Because me and him never got along anyway. We don't have to be best friends to fight each other. It makes it better when we're not best friends when we have to fight each other. I don't wish him bad, but I don't wish him good either because I don't give a f**k."

On being in the NWA with LA Knight:

“I liked him. He’s a good dude.” Kingston also said, "I'm so happy for LA Knight. That dude busts his ass. We all did. To see him get the love that he's getting and being able to perform on that big stage, I salute him"
