First things first, if you've not watched the above promo you are doing yourself a disservice. Watch it, and watch it now. Delivered to hype that match that would produce CHIKARA's first Grand Champion, it is as emotional as professional wrestling promos get. More so than anyone on the CHIKARA roster, Eddie Kingston is the man who would seem most at home in a WWE (or NXT, for that matter) ring. A 13 year veteran, Kingston has worked in a number of other promotions including Ring of Honor and Pro Wrestling Guerilla, and his tougher than tough style is more engaging than most. The guy can talk too, as show in the above video. Kingston was CHIKARA's first ever Grand Champion, his reign lasting two and a half years (although CHIKARA was on hiatus for some of that). He is as dominant a competitor as CHIKARA has ever seen.
