That was one of my favorite matches this year. So much in-ring storytelling and emotion between the two competitors. Just an incredible match bell to bell.
Eddie's finally a world champion.

One of the best matches of the year. Bar none.

Well deserved. Dope match, dope win, dope wrestlers, dope story. Couldn't ask for more for that much. Shoutout to Eddie.

Perfect match, perfect atmosphere and THE BEST RESULT as an Eddie Kingston fan for over a decade!
Beautiful, and Eddie becoming a belt collector is f***ing fantastic, he's more than earned this run

I was in Brooklyn for their last match in Chikara, which was obviously not supposed to be their last match for twelve years. This felt like the best ending after waiting so long, and the parallels between Eddie chasing Claudio and Kawada chasing Misawa stood out down to their attires. Kingston even listened to Kawada’s request and won with the powerbomb. Not sure how long he’ll hold either title, but it’s nice to see someone finish the story.

Now the question is can Tony get Chris Hero for Final Battle?

Great match and a great finish.
Eddie is maybe the best babyface in all of pro wrestling.

Best match on the show, IMO. Very happy for Eddie.

f*** me was that ever satisfying. I watched on DVR, so before the bell sounded I had to immeadiately rewatch both entrances just to take all of the moment in and then... absolute match of the year candidate. A sterling example of why we watch this shit.

Eddie just popping Claudio in the jaw after the chops didn't work is my spot of the year. So perfectly done.

Now the question is can Tony get Chris Hero for Final Battle? Well Hero is a producer/Coach for AEW and Tony has said he's been trying to convince him for a match... |

It's one of those moments that's just such perfect pro wrestling. Eddie overcomes his past to get the elusive win over a guy he never got the job done against and takes his title in front of a crowd who have been waiting all this time to see him win something big, and it was electric. Can't wait for the promo he's going to cut next week over this, guy's about to be in a new gear.

I’ve teased him a bit here but to be serious, I’m happy he’s getting his push restarted/fast-forwarded because it felt like his heat with Punk really left him adrift in the midcard doing whatever. Plus I can’t shade such an open mental health advocate that bad.

Man, the people there last night were ready for Tio Eddie Two Belts.
The Misawa/Kawada gear, the pacing, the signs that Claudio's still the one with the natural gifts but that Kingston's sheer grit and tenacity would win the day...so much fun.
Really need to watch the DVR of it to see how it came across on TV, because the place exploded when it ended.

Great match....chop session went on a bit too long and Claudio seemingly stopped selling on and off through it but a definite fun match and hopefully now this is over for awhile

Something I've come to really love about Eddie is that he doesn't seem to really have a set finisher. Sometimes the Backfist will do it, sometimes the Northern Lights Bomb, occasionally his sliding lariat does it, or like last night it could be a folding powerbomb.
It really works for his gimmick that he's just this mega tough scrapper who ultimately just wins by attrition every time.
