Pat and Cam are back in the saddle in our biggest episode to date, our guest, current Ring of Honor World Champion and NJPW Strong Open Weight Champion Eddie Kingston. Eddie is a professional wrestler signed to All Elite Wrestling and has some insightful perspectives on mental health awareness. Eddie has always been open to discussing mental health even before he signed with AEW, many think this is part of a character but when you meet Eddie you realize, Eddie is Eddie always! Eddie gives the fans a piece of his heart every time he cuts a promo or steps in the ring and that is what fans love about him, you feel his energy with everything he does in wrestling. Even though Eddie is a larger than life star he is kind, humble and admits that he isn’t perfect (none of us are). But Eddie emphasizes growth and resilience that help make him better most days.

On this episode we discuss Eddie’s mental health journey, some factors that pushed his personal growth, past Eddie vs. Present Eddie, the importance of a support system and how to handle adversity. We also get to hear some fun stories about Eddie living his dream wrestling in the G1 Climax in Japan (very prestigious tournament) as well as performing in front of 81,000 fans at Wimbley Stadium in London on AEW’s All In show.

Eddie is a dream guest of ours due to his advocacy (don’t tell him we called him an advocate) in the mental health world and willingness to be a bad ass but also show vulnerability. Eddie’s discussion about his past and journey really resonated with us and even if you’re not a pro wrestling fan, we know everyone can see a little bit of themselves in Eddie.

Huge thank you to Eddie Kingston for being generous with his time, coming on the show and letting everyone know you can overcome any challenge in your way.

You can watch Eddie Kingston wrestle on AEW Dynamite on Wednesday’s on TBS at 8pm EST and AEW Collision on Saturdays at 8pm EST on TNT, currently he is wrestling in the most prestigious tournament in North America, the Continental Classic which are covered on the showtimes above.
