Eddie Kingston vs. Shingo Takagi
ALL IN.
Or ALL OUT.
That's when "The Mad King" wants to stand across the ring again from the Japanese wrestling star.
Kingston recently spoke with NJPW Press for an interview, during which he reflected on his reaction to finding out that he would be working with Takagi at NJPW G1 Climax 33.
“I can’t believe it," he said. "Oh my God. The dream lives on folks, the dream lives on. I’m not gonna lie, when I saw I was paired up against Shingo (Takagi), former IWGP World Champion, I was so nervous. I tried to play it off like I was cool. I was so nervous, he’s so good. I’m not gonna lie and sit here, yeah, I beat his ass, because I didn’t. I’m a little disappointed in my performance. The hernia surgery that I had before the tour in Japan started acting up after he gave me a knee to the gut. Holy — ouuu wow, it’s a lot of pain. No excuses though. I won, but I got lucky. I’m gonna have to do better against EVIL, that’s all I can say.”
He said he wants to face him again at AEW ALL IN or AEW ALL OUT.
“Shingo, I’m not gonna talk a lot of trash and try to sell tickets. This is a sport so I’m gonna treat it like a sport. Thank you for the fight and I hope we do it again. I’m praying, Tony Khan, I’ll put you on the spot. Me and Shingo, All In or All Out… give us time. Me and Shingo will show the world strong style, King’s Road combined. Thank you Shingo. EVIL, ah, I gotta do better.”
