Good Is Not Nice | |
| Eddie Kingston (Wrestling) / int_21f3aa44 | comment |
Good is Not Nice: Even as a heartfelt face, Kingston is not the friendliest guy on the block. He will resort to petty street crime and gratuitous violence to avenge wrongs just like his good friend Jon Moxley, as The Young Bucks and The Jericho Appreciation Society can attest to, and unlike most faces who will either simply not work with each other or throw water under the bridge if they have an acrimonious past, he openly calls out Ring of Honor old-heads such as CM Punk and Bryan Danielson for their harsh treatment and judgment of him when he was coming up early in his career. | |

Ax-Crazy: Kingston was utterly consumed by his hatred of Chris Jericho to the point that, during their "Anarchy in the Arena" match at Double or Nothing 2022, he came to the ring, covered in blood carrying a gasoline can, doused Jericho with the contents and tried to set the man on fire. And he did this while Bryan Danielson, Eddie's teammate (who he doesn't like much), had Jericho in the LeBell Lock! | |

Arch-Enemy: In CHIKARA it was initially Larry Sweeney; with Sweeney's departure from the promotion it became Claudio Castagnoli. He still doesn't like him over a decade later, renewing their blood feud in Ring of Honor. In All Elite Wrestling, it's Chris Jericho, which is remarkable considering the number of friends Eddie has in the AEW locker room can be counted on one hand. He also has no love for CM Punk thanks to heat they had fifteen years ago, back when Eddie was first starting out. Even after their short feud ended, they blatantly make it clear they still hate each other. | |

Cluster F-Bomb: In his Loser Leaves CZW match with Chris Hero at CZW Out With The Old, In With The New, April 7, 2007, as Kingston was repeatedly calling Hero a "motherfucker," saying, "I fucking dare you," etc. This got him in a little trouble when ROH was purchased by the very conservative Sinclair Broadcast Group, who were a little more serious about language than HD Net was. | |

Strictly Formula | |
| Eddie Kingston (Wrestling) / int_3f1aadeb | comment |
Strictly Formula: His AEW debut match against Cody for the TNT Championship and his longer feud against Jon Moxley for the World Championship both follow very similar stories. Eddie Kingston, a man with a Dark and Troubled Past and desperate for a big title win to prove his success as a wrestler, challenges someone who he sees as a milquetoast babyface undeserving of their belt. This culminates in a hardcore match (a no DQ match for Cody, an "I Quit" match for Moxley) where the face resorts to brutal measures that forces Eddie to submit, leaving him distraught that his title challenge was for nothing. The Moxley feud being similar to the Cody match is likely a consequence of it being thrown together as a replacement for a Lance Archer vs. Moxley feud which had to be scrapped after Lance contracted COVID-19. In this case, Tropes Are Tools, as the much slower pace of the Moxley feud gave a lot of time to better explore character motivations and psychology that couldn't be fully explored during the length of a single match (it would win "Feud of the Year" in The Wrestling Observer Newsletter Awards for 2020). | |

Worthy Opponent: Eddie will respect anyone who fights him hard but fair, particularly Japanese puroresu veterans such as Satoshi Kojima or Jun Akiyama. Tomohiro Ishii in particular is one of Eddie's fiercest rivals, but in 2023 he had no qualms about recruiting the Stone Pitbull to join him and The Elite to take on the Blackpool Combat Club in a 10-man tag match at Forbidden Door. | |

Worked Shoot: Eddie once said that if he's talking about other people, he's working — if he's talking about himself, then he's shooting. For example, his feud with CM Punk was based on legitimate heat between Punk and himself from fifteen years ago, as indicated by several reports. However, Punk mentioned in an earlier interview that Eddie was one of the people who helped hyped him up for his debut, indicating that while they were working the audience by pretending the heat was still legitimate onscreen, in reality it was all water under the bridge for them. | |

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: The crux of his character is that Eddie is an abrasive brawler with plenty of enemies and is not afraid to express that, but at his core is a strong moral compass and a desire to grow beyond his Dark and Troubled Past into a better person. | |

The Everyman: A significant part of his appeal is that he walks, talks, and acts just like a normal guy. He doesn't have a ridiculous physique (he famously has a pronounced gut), he came from a poor background and isn't ashamed of it, and he's pissed off at the world. If he's working face he's striking back at the world for the average downtrodden Joe, if heel, he's just striking out at whatever's within reach. | |

Jobber: Albeit, a high profile one given he was one of the CZW invaders but Kingston did not win a match in Ring of Honor for three years until he finally defeated Sami Callihan, at which point he finally felt like he belonged in the promotion. | |

Hired Guns: Discussed in October 2015 when Kingston was given the offer of being the first person to ever debut in the main event of a fairly prestigious promotion. He declined the offer, given it was to team with Portia Perez in SHIMMER Women Athletes. | |

Hypocritical Humor He was on commentary at CHIKARA Running in the Red, November 13, 2005, which opened with an atomicos (8-man tag) match pitting Icarus/UltraMantis Black/Hydra/Dr. Cheung vs. Lancelot (Lance Steel and Lance Steel), Angel de Fuego and the debuting Dragon Dragon. It qualifies as this because that same night King and Sabian teamed up to defeat Cheech and Cloudy. | |

Blood Knight: Despite describing Chris Hero as everything wrong with the wrestling business, and expressing murderous intentions toward him, Kingston admits to having fun fighting with Hero and looking forward to seeing him again in ROH. For Chikara fans, 2007 to 2010 are noted as his best showing of these tendencies. | |

Shout-Out His spinning backfist Finishing Move is called the "Backfist to the Future". BLK-OUT's T-shirt read "BLK-OUT 4:20," and was a combination of Run–D.M.C. and "Austin 3:16". The promo he cut in his video package for his Full Gear 2021 match against CM Punk contained multiple references to Apocalypse Now, including Eddie claiming to have had a dream about a snail crawling on the edge of a razor blade, and saying "I asked God for a mission, Punk, and for my sins he gave me you?" | |

Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": During the LAX Civil War storyline, he was simply known as King. This is a shorthand to both his character surname Kingston and his various "King" Red Barons such as Mad King or King of New York. | |

Holding Out for a Hero | |
| Eddie Kingston (Wrestling) / int_d7f21602 | comment |
Holding Out for a Hero: On the CHIKARA show Three-Fisted Tales on November 22, 2009, he faced the then-tecnico Claudio Castagnoli while a rudo himself. After losing an I Respect You match, he refused to honor the stipulation and insisted he had no respect for Claudio or "his sleazy tag team partner." However at the end of the show Claudio backstabbed the promotion, founded the BDK with his former tag partner Ares and the stable beat down all the tecnicos. As the BDK lined up in the ring in formation and right before Ares instructed Carpenter Ant (Pinkie Sanchez) to unmask, some people in the crowd were chanting, "We want Kingston!," as if he was the only one who could solve this problem. | |

Expy/Fanboy: Of/for Tommy Dreamer. At CHIKARA Aniversario Elf, May 23, 2010, Kingston defeated Dreamer by DQ when evil BDK referee Derek Sabato disqualified Dreamer for grabbing his shirt. Then the CHIKARA Campeones de Parejas (Tag Team Champions) Claudio Castagnoli and Ares ran in to save Sabato from Dreamer piledriving him. This led to Dreamer and Kingston fighting together against the BDK. Afterwards, Dreamer acknowledged how Kingston used to come see him wrestle, and Kingston said that Dreamer was his inspiration to get out of Yonkers and become a wrestler. This led to Dreamer and Kingston teaming up, unsuccessfully, against Castagnoli and Ares at Chikarasaurus Rex: King of Show on July 25th. At High Noon on November 13, 2011, Dreamer was in Kingston's corner when he defeated Mike Quackenbush in the finals of the 12 Large: Summit where Kingston became the inaugural CHIKARA Grand Champion. | |

Determinator: A major part of his CHIKARA tecnico gimmick since 2010 was been the fact that he will not give up. Extended to real life as well, as he refuses to take time off to rehab some pretty serious knee injuries as long as he held the Grand Championship. | |

Complaining About Rescues They Don't Like: The start to the 1-4-10 ROH On HD Net was delayed as the crew found Kingston laid out in a hallway of The Arena and was further delayed as Kingston refused help from anyone even though he couldn't even get up. When he finally did he insisted on continuing on with his, match, the first match of the show vs Claudio Castagnoli...didn't go too well. | |

During the Team CHIKARA vs BDK Torneo Cibernetico he eliminated Sara Del Rey and Daizee Haze back to back with Backfists to the Future. He'd also defeat Amazing Kong on a Chikara show. | |

Not So Similar: At Ring Of Honor's 10th Anniversary, he was initially flattered when Kevin Steen said they were cut out of the same cloth and offered to form a tag team with him, up until Steen talked about destroying the whole business, starting with Ring Of Honor and Chikara. Kingston would ultimately get a decisive victory against Kevin Steen while defending Chikara's grand title the next year, at a Chikara event no less. | |
