Two-time WWE Hall of Famer Sean Waltman has taken to Twitter to hit out at the morons who've recently body shamed AEW's Eddie Kingston.

Seemingly moving on from taking digs at Adam Cole, these online idiots this past weekend turned their attention to the Mad King when it came to their hideous comments.

Pointing out that a wrestler doesn't need to have a ripped six-pack to be a good athlete who can kick some ass - including a GIF of famed UFC knockout artist Roy 'Big Country' Nelson - Waltman put out the following:

Backing up the views of X-Pac and the majority of wrestling fans, MMA fighter-turned-pro wrestler 'Filthy' Tom Lawlor was another to comment on how much of a badass Eddie Kingston is.

Regardless of the, as Lawlor puts it, "sh*t talking" on Twitter from some fools, Kingston is currently one of the most popular and hottest stars in the industry right now.

Up next for Eddie, he's got a barbed wire death match against Chris Jericho on next week's Fyter Fest Night 2 episode of AEW Dynamite. The former CZW World Champion has been embroiled in a feud with the inaugural AEW Champion for the past several months, including Kingston and his team toppling the Jericho Appreciation Society at Blood & Guts at the end of last month.
