Eddie Kingston comments on AEW creating a Triple Crown Championship.
The AEW Continental Classic will create a Triple Crown Champion. The winner will hold the ROH World Championship, the NJPW STRONG Openweight Championship, and the AEW Continental Championship. For Kingston, the Triple Crown Title is quite significant.
Speaking with Tim Battle and Eli on the Battleground Podcast, Eddie Kingston discussed AEW’s Triple Crown Championship.
“For me, it’s everything because my heroes, the Four Pillars, Jun Akiyama, so on and so forth, there’s so many guys who held the form the Triple Crown in All Japan, and so many guys that I’ve studied and watched, and guys I’ve met, like Kawada and Akiyama, and Suzuki, just so many,” Eddie Kingston said. “Anyway, it just means a lot to me, especially with how I feel about the old All Japan King’s Road style and how that style influenced me and how that style and Memphis style has really influenced my style.”
Eddie Kingston Couldn’t Pass Up The Opportunity
Eddie Kingston went on to note that he could not pass up the opportunity when it was presented to him.
“When I was told that we’re gonna do this and I’m gonna put my two belts into the pot, let’s say, I couldn’t say no,” Eddie Kingston said. ” It wasn’t me confident or cocky that, ‘Oh, yeah, I’ll win it. It was just that I can’t pass this opportunity up when it was suggested.”
