Regarding the original tweet in this: I thought the backstage stage and the segments were why these people are fans? Didn’t they say they don’t watch for the wrestling?

Spent $9000 at the theater only watched the amc promos. Argued online through the entirety of the features that the amc previews are better than a kerasotes previews.

Claims they’re cinephiles.

Some people are so vincepilled that they've assumed his entire philosophy on wrestling, where it's roided-out tanned white guys doing 3-5 minute squashes. Anything that deviates from that even a bit is unacceptable.

nah, those same guys all love kevin owens. they start every single position working backwards from “wwe good”. it’s why japanese wrestling is about to become cool and good after being a bunch of flippy dudes for hardcore fans only for so long

Eddie also seems like one of those wrestlers who legit could become a serious actor -assuming he is any good at memorizing lines and doesn't just ad-lib every promo, the guy brings an intensity and understands how to make an incredibly flawed character compelling.

Pro is an amazing name!
I am pretty sure exactly what make Eddie great is that his acting isn't acting at all and everything he says comes straight from the heart

He would be incredible in a role that is written specifically for him, but outside of that I wouldn't hold my breath

My wife hates Eddie Kingston because she hates having to deal with that kind of dude in real life, I love him because I kind of hate having to deal with that kind of dude in real life (and have had to due to a lifetime of bar work so I root for bums like him to finally figure poo poo out).

She also doesn't like Danny Garcia (but is coming around on him due to Daddy Magic), so I suspect her Ontarian hatred of NY state accents might figure into things.

Your wife should be nicer to bums, give them a dollar and wish them merry christmas and maybe give them a VHS tape of Kawada matches.

Eddie is a huge loser who blames everyone else for his losses and gives himself all the credit for his wins. People resonate with him because like him, they are big losers and bad people.

Dickinson as the lovely version of Eddie is a pretty good description of what he was, although Dickinson's post match promos were more Davey Richards. But some I could see him wanting that Eddie connection.

lol this is the kind of insane wrestling stuff I like. No racism or sexism, just someone with an insane voice modulation that would have been vetoed if they had a single person listen to it before they published the video.
