Bobby Fish Comments on Wanting a Crockett Cup Style Tournament for AEW’s Tag Division

A recent episode of the Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling podcast had Bobby Fish as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Fish’s thoughts on his interest in the idea of AEW holding a Crockett Cup style tournament event for their Tag Team division.

“Even the idea of Ring of Honor and The Briscoes and FTR and there were so many tag teams that I was chomping at the bit for us to be able to mix it up with, so much so that I thought like, man, we could do a Crockett Cup pay-per-view or something like that and I think people would be over the moon for it just because tag team wrestling is such a different thing. We’ve got, you know, this generation’s version of The Midnight Express, of The Four Horsemen or The Brain Busters, whatever you wanna call it, of The Rock ‘n’ Roll Express, of The Fantastics, of The Freebirds, of The Road Warriors. You’ve got all of this. In a slightly twisted way, I thought, man, this is just money waiting to be made and yeah, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t disappointed that-that hasn’t happened.”

Eddie Kingston Comments on His Recent Feud with Chris Jericho

A recent episode of the Under The Ring podcast had Eddie Kingston as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Kingston’s thoughts about his recent feud with Chris Jericho in AEW and not being fond of any of the matches he had with Jericho.

“Oh I hated them all, I hated every single one of them. I don’t like any of my work plus I don’t like Chris [Jericho]. Being in the ring with him was a headache, it was seven months of a headache but I’m proud that it’s over, for now. Knowing Chris, [he’ll] probably do something to get me mad and we’ll probably get back in there. Did I learn a lot? Yeah, I learned what it was to be a snake backstage like Chris. I learned to avoid people like Chris and his group, so I did learn from it but it was seven months of my life that I can’t have back so thanks a lot Chris.”
