Kingston on the locker room reaction for Sting’s last match:
“Tears for his last match. Locker rooms sell out I guess you could say. A lot of us were near the monitors watching it..some of us went out into the audience to just experience that because Sting meant a lot to the pro wrestling business and he meant a lot to AEW. And it meant a lot to all of us because he showed us how to be a pro and what a pro is. Like he’s the definition of a professional wrestler because he’s such a pro.”
Kingston on Sting winning his last match instead of taking the pinfall like what usually happens when someone retires:
“A lot of us who were broke in old school style or learned from some old school guys is you come into the business on your back, you leave the business on your back. I got it and I understand why. It was an emotional moment. I don’t think honestly if I was being a Monday morning quarterback or whatever, I don’t think I could have done a better job than what happened that night.”
Kingston on Garrett and Steven Borden possibly following their dad Sting’s footsteps into the wrestling business:
“I don’t think they should. Just let it be. Anytime anyone wants to get in the wrestling business I tell them no…It’s a rough business so if you want to get into it just get ready for a lot of long nights and questioning yourself why you’re doing it.”
On being attacked by Kazuchika Okada last week on AEW Dynamite:
“He’s in AEW, I really could care less to be honest with you. I’m not a mark for him. I’m not, never wasn’t fan. He was never my ace. I respect him as a pro wrestler. But other than that, okay. And I understand why you went with The Bucks. And I get why he did what he did. I understand. I’m the Triple Crown Champion. If you’re not gonna go after Joe, who’s next? Of course, you’re gonna go after me. And of course, you’re gonna go after somebody that doesn’t like your friends. So I get it. But the thing is, I don’t think Okada understands. I’m not like anybody he’s ever fought before. Because I’m at the point of like, Yeah, I want to win. But I get to a certain point in matches where you know what, maybe I won’t win. But I’m gonna take a piece of you with me. You’re never gonna forget me. I’m either gonna scar you mentally, physically or emotionally. So I don’t think he’s ready for that, for [tonight at Big Business] and the Bucks should prepare because The Bucks know., I’m done. I’ve fought them plenty of times. So they better be warning him and if not, it’s gonna be a long ass night.”
More from Kingston on The Young Bucks:
“I don’t like the way they changed. That’s it. They let the EVP stuff get to their heads. And it’s been like that for a while. But you know, I didn’t have to deal with them. But now I do. So now I’m gonna bring it back up like y’all changed, you know,”
