Eddie Kingston has his say about Jon Moxley struggles
AEW President Tony Khan on November 2 announced about Jon Moxley would be taking a hiatus from the company and undergoing an alcohol rehab program.
Eddie Kingston, who has already gone through these mental health issues and is a close counterpart of Moxley, spoke to CBS Sports about Moxley’s struggles and how he can support him.
Kingston mentioned that no one needs to get it until your close one understands what you are going through. He said that we should celebrate men like Moxley, who can accept their flaws and actually work on them.
“It was great. I was going to rally with him anyway. I guess you could say I’m an old-school street guy,” Kingston said. “My thing was, ‘I don’t care if anyone else understands. I get it. Your wife gets it, I get it. That’s all that matters.’ It does feel nice that everybody else got it. My girlfriend said this to me the other day. She’s the smart one. Toxic masculinity. I never heard of that before. She seems to think that’s dying because we’re actually celebrating men like Moxley who can accept their flaws but also work on them.“
Eddie Kingston believes that the best way to tackle mental health issues like Jon Moxley is to talk about it
Kingston talked about how you can move on from these issues, and he said that the only way to go forward is to talk about what’s going on inside and make it normal for you. He said that he is moving forward with the issues. So why is someone going through the same problem can’t?
“The best way to move on is to talk about what’s going on. And to make my own normal because no one is going through what I’m going through. I’m the one going through it so it’s my normal. Not that I’m broken, I’m just going to move on from it and move forward because that’s all I can do is move forward. Do I feel a little bit of pressure since that Players’ Tribune? Yeah, but I also kind of like it too because look, I can move on, I can do it. I’m not the most mentally put-together person but I’m moving forward, I’m trying. So why can’t anybody else?”
