This was for Kingston’s AAW Heavyweight Title.
It’s too long and Josh Alexander is still too limited for this to be a GREAT match, but if you want a classic example of the way in which Eddie Kingston’s knee selling can elevate a match, this is it. It’s totally fine otherwise, it’s hardly a match that I hated watching, but Eddie’s selling throughout really brings it to a different level. It’s fitting that Kingston rocks the black and yellow during this, because it’s yet another reminder that the only other wrestler in history this consistently good at selling a knee injury wore the same colors in the 1990s, and I don’t mean Shane Douglas, although all respect.
Despite the flaws, it’s impossible to hate a match with a “You’re a Noggy” reference on commentary.
