Eddie Kingston is well-known for delivering powerful chops in AEW, drawing inspiration from the Four Pillars of Heaven from All Japan Pro Wrestling and paying tribute to the legendary Kenta Kobashi with his rapid corner chops. On a recent episode of Tony Schiavone’s “What Happened When?” podcast, Kingston revealed which wrestlers in AEW give the toughest chops. He singled out AEW’s Evil Uno as one of the most punishing, describing Uno’s chops as sharp and intense, to the point of feeling like being cut by a tiny blade. Mark Briscoe’s chops also stood out, characterized by their heavy, country-style impact that Kingston both despises and respects. Additionally, Kingston recounted Necro Butcher as the hardest hitter among them, recalling how a couple of strikes from him left Kingston dazed during their exchanges.
Fan Take: This insight from Eddie Kingston not only highlights the physical toughness and fierce competition within AEW but also adds depth to the personalities and physical storytelling behind the wrestlers. For fans, it’s a reminder of the authentic, hard-hitting action that sets AEW apart and keeps the sport exhilarating and unpredictable.
