Eddie Kingston On Why He Said "NNAA, NO THANKS" To WWE Offer
Following Eddie Kingston’s debut on the July 16th, 2020 edition of AEW Dynamite, rumors came about discussing whether Kingston would sign with AEW or go elsewhere. On the debut episode of the SwerveCity Podcast, Kingston discussed why he chose to sign with AEW and not with WWE as a trainer.
“I didn’t want to collect the paycheck I didn’t earn, you know what I mean? Because I knew if I was there, if I was there, and I had that resentment of ‘I know I have ten more good years, I know I’m better than what, they’re not giving me a chance, let me go.'” Eddie Kingston said. “If a football player or amateur wrestler walks in and the machine (WWE) is behind them all the way, and they want me to help him and teach him, I’m not going to. But if I do, if I do, I’m going to be a piece of s—. Cause I’m going to be resentful of him.”
Kingston went on to discuss his desire for people to succeed, along with his disdain for Dark Side of the Ring.
“I want you to do good because I don’t want it to be embarrassing, you know what I mean? I don’t want you to hurt yourself. I don’t need you to go on, go on the news, ‘I got paralyzed in the pro wrestling ring’. Pro wrestling gets enough bad media.” Kingston flatly stated. “People are like ‘Eddie, do you like the dark sides?’ (referencing the show Dark Side of the Ring). I use to. But you know why I don’t like them no more? Cause the energy was off, I had enough of all the dark s—.”
Eddie Kingston brought back up the point of him not being satisfied as being a trainer when he knows he can still wrestle.
“You guys are saying I’m done. You guys are saying I’m not good enough to be on your TV. That’s fine, but I’m not going to create stars for you."
Will Ospreay Says Hannibal (Blood Hunter/ Devon Nicholson) Should Be Charged Over Referee Incident
NJPW star Will Ospreay has weighed in on the controversial incident that took place at a weekend indie event in Texas, where Lando Deltoro referee was injured by The Blood Hunter (aka Hannibal, Devon Nicholson).
In the story that WWEE here at Wrestling Past And Present broke (thanks to someone sending us the story) before The Observer, WrestlingInc and Fightful caught up a day later (and PWInsider has done everything to AVOID covering it, makes you go "HHHMM" there) where Devon Nichols went too far, again. https://billsbrandnewblog.blogspot.com/2021/12/hannibal-blood-hunter-devon-nicholson.html which lead to this stoiry on World Class severing ties with Devon (which again, most other wrestling news sites had to 'play catch up' with us as we had it before they did) https://billsbrandnewblog.blogspot.com/2021/12/hannibal-blood-hunter-devon-nicholson_13.html Many within the business have weighed in on how Hannibal/Devon fucked up, even though Devon feels him being drunk at the show was no big deal and he feels, HE didn't do anything wrong.. Will Ospreay has come out to openly say what many have said and should be said and done
At Saturday’s World Class Revolution event in Irving, TX saw The Blood Hunter defend the Texas Heavyweight Title against former WWE star Carlito. Hannibal ended up attacking Deltoro and stabbing multiple times in the head with a spike. Deltoro knew there would be a physical angle with Hannibal, and that he would bleed, but he says he did not agree to go as far as Hannibal did. Deltoro was later taken to a local hospital, where it was determined that he suffered a torn artery in his head. Deltoro has stated that the incident was “defiantly not a work” and that the angle went “way off the rails.”
In an update, Ospreay took to Twitter and reacted to the incident and said what happened was unacceptable.
“I hate cancel culture more than anyone. But when another persons life is in danger there should be no question. The business is about trust & at times can be the Wild West but once that trust is abused it can not be repaired. Unacceptable,” he wrote.
Ospreay added in a follow-up tweet and said Nicholson should be criminally charged for the incident.
“Even talking to a few people and you’re right it’s not even about cancel culture this is actually assault and it’s not on. This man should be charged for this,” he wrote.
There’s no word on if criminal charges will be brought against Nicholson, but some are encouraging Deltoro to press charges. As seen in the tweet below, Impact Digital Media Champion Jordynne Grace publicly encouraged him to take legal action.
A GoFundMe campaign for Deltoro was launched at this link. As of this writing, the campaign has raised $4,753 of a $10,000 goal with 127 donations.
Ospreay is listed as making a donation of $200. James Cornette podcast co-host Brian Last is also listed among the top donors with a $300 donation.
Deltoro took to Twitter last night and responded to some feedback, writing, “I had heard that I could have said “stop” at anytime. I just wanted to say that’s it’s very hard to talk when there is a 300lbs man’s knee on your back and then being put in a choke hold while being stabbed repeatedly in the head with an iron spike , passed out shortly after”
He added in another tweet, “I agreed to gig myself, I did t agree to the 30 or 40 iron spikes to the head that severed an artery and nearly made me bleed to death. I’m crazy but not stupid lol”
Deltoro posted another update this morning and said he was going to get checked out due to an apparent infection.
“Quick update, woke up and the entire left side of my head feels like it’s on fire and there’s drainage, definitely an infection so I’m going in to get it looked at,” he wrote.
