Eddie Kingston Cuts Emotional Promo At PROGRESS Chapter 199, Says He Wanted To Leave Wrestling After The Passing Of Butcher And PAC

It’s been an emotional time for wrestling fans as we’ve lost “The Butcher” Andy Williams and Benjamin “PAC” Satterley along with others in the past couple of months.

Williams and Satterley were two well-known names in the business, and by the accounts of their peers, two of the nicest and giving people in wrestling.

After his match against Luke Jacobs at PROGRESS Chapter 199, Eddie Kingston got emotional speaking about his friends.

“You lose real people. Life is a fucked up place, but I wake up every morning and do this because of the fans. You fans put me into fucking tears with some of your messages. After Andy and Ben passed away, I didn’t leave my house for five days. I wanted to leave this business. This is not about me anymore. This is not about what I want. I don’t know why you guys like me, I really don’t, but I thank you guys so much. Every fan who hit me up to tell me your story about mental health and your fucked up life, and you tell me I helped you, bullshit, you helped me.”
