The wrestling world is still talking about Eddie Kingston‘s promo that took place when AEW Saturday Night Dynamite went off the air where he took shots at WWE in front of the live crowd at Daily’s Place.
While Eddie Kingston has already clarified the meaning of his promo with WrestleZone’s own Dominic & Marcus DeAngelo on an upcoming episode of “2 Dynamite Dudes With Attitude,” that hasn’t stopped fans and wrestlers from chiming in on the subject.
Yesterday on Busted Open Radio, WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray had some harsh words towards Eddie Kingston’s promo, telling him to stay in his lane.
While Bully Ray was complimentary to Kingston’s mic work, he believes that The Mad King has no reason to bash WWE:
“I love Eddie Kingston to death,” Bully Ray began. “If we were having promo wars, and I was the captain of the team, and somebody said, ‘You get to pick one person to do the promo for you,’ I’d most likely pick Eddie, because of his believability, his tone, his inflection, everything about Eddie. Obviously, we kind of sound alike, so I appreciate Eddie’s delivery the same way I appreciate Taz’s delivery, Taz, another master on the stick.
“But in this case, Eddie Kingston needs to shut the f–k up and stay in his lane. And his lane is as an AEW guy speaking about AEW and flying the flag for AEW; then I’m completely on board. Tell me about how great AEW is, fly the flag for your company, show me that you wear your heart on your sleeve. Tell me why that you were an indie guy for the majority of your career. Now this company took a chance on you, and you have learned to love it and everything about it. Now I’m on board, Eddie, but to take the easy way out and knock the WWE.
“Because if you go back and you listen to the fans, they really didn’t pop that hard when he took a jab at the WWE. He didn’t get the reaction you were looking for because people are most likely thinking, ‘Alright, Eddie, let’s stay away from them. There’s no reason to go there.’ If Cody wants to destroy a throne, I get it. If Jericho wants to say, Eff you, I got it. Eddie, why? There’s no reason for Eddie to say it.”
