9 minutes of a must watch speech from Eddie Kingston about suicide prevention, you will cry.

I think if he put his heart into it, I think Eddie would be a great motivational speaker.
Thank you sharing this video.

Came here to post this. I'm so glad Eddie is with us and I'm so glad AEW has a platform to let him share this.

I love Eddie, he is such a great guy. Mental health is very important and we as a society need to treat it as such.

Man, every time Eddie speaks from the heart I want to hug him as a thank you and to make sure he is ok. And in my opinion he is right, there is no such thing as normal and everyone does need to speak to someone.
Much love to anyone that might be struggling out there. Reach out to someone if you need to talk. It’s helped me out a number of times.

There's a Hobbs one, too.
AEW has been so good at talking about mental health.

The only minor quibble I had in the past with some of AEW's mental health awareness stuff is that it focused a little too much on mental health problems as a consequence of grief from loss. I'm not saying that's not valid because it is. Just that mental health problems and especially suicide ideation is a very broad topic.
Eddie's voice is a great, powerful one to add to this. And I appreciate it so much. Also we're on the same antidepressant, so now I feel a connection to him lol.

This man needs a world title run, and that world title win pop.
I really hope he gets it

Eddie's someone who, aside from himself coming close on occasion, has had a lot of loss through suicide, most notably Larry Sweeney which I know still haunts him to this day, but I'm glad that he's both still here and comfortable using his pain as an outlet to help those struggling.
