In a recent interview with PWInsider, Kingston gave his thoughts about him recently resuming his training for an in-ring return.

“I just want to hurry up and fight someone already in the ring. Sh** ain’t easy but what the f**k else am I going to do for a living? I don’t care about anything else.  Backstage or in front of the camera, I don’t give a f**k. I just want to be in my safe place and f**k someone up.”

In a recently released new training video posted by former AEW talent Cezar Bononi on his YouTube channel, Kingston gave his thoughts about the mental struggles he has been dealing with while being sidelined from AEW and wrestling due to his injury.

“I’m sitting in my own shit. I’m watching AEW, and I’m seeing all the great shit these guys are doing in the ring. Like an emotional bitch, sometimes it happens. I tweet out, ‘What the fuck am I going to do when I come back?’ I’m thinking to myself, how am I going to fight these dudes…people can say what they want about wrestling, but my mental is, ‘How am I going to fight people when they are this good and I wasn’t even that good to begin with, and now I’m coming back off ACL surgery.’ Every Dynamite, every pay-per-view, granted, I did it to myself. I didn’t blame chemical imbalance. I took my zoloft and all that. I knew I’d get out of it, but I didn’t want to. I think a lot of people get to that. Happened to me, spiralling. That’s why the thing came out about me thinking about retirement. I don’t want to fucking retire. I don’t, but during that four or five months during PT, once in a while, I just sat in my own shit thinking, ‘Yeah, fuck. I did the G1. I wanted to do more, but ah, fuck it.’ I’m making excuses for why it’s okay to quit. I think a lot of people get there. It’s not that they are mentally weak, I don’t like using that. It’s just they don’t know how to push. Years ago, I didn’t know how to push.”
