“My career before AEW was one step forward, four steps back.” — Eddie Kingston Quote

My career before AEW was one step forward, four steps back.

I used to tell a lot of young guys on the independents, 'Don't be a mark or a fan for letters, be a mark and a fan for dollar signs,' so it didn't really matter where I was, as long as I get paid.

Bad days, man, are when you wake up and you just don't want to do anything. And it's not out of laziness. It's just your mentally in your own head and you start beating yourself up before you even take the first step out of bed. It's one of the weirdest feelings I can describe to people.

I knew guys like New Jack. I knew guys like Dreamer. When those guys went through the table, it was like your uncle going through the table.

If you have a goal, you have to step forward and try to get it accomplished.

I wanted to step forward and be on TV and for people to see who I really was.

Every single step, although I couldn't see it, was a step forward and built to where I am now.
