Ortiz recently said Eddie Kingston is the modern-day Dusty Rhodes
Over the last few years, Eddie Kingston has been in the news for his tremendous performances. However, if there is anyone who knows the most about Kingston, it has to be Ortiz. After all, Kingston and Ortiz were tag team partners for a long time.
Recently, Ortiz said that Kingston is the modern-day Dusty Rhodes. During an appearance on The Shining Wizard podcast, Ortiz mentioned that Kingston is the everyday guy. He said:
"Everyone that knew Eddie or if you’ve seen Eddie on the independents and just any wrestlers that’s shared a locker room with him and just seen him do a promo and just seen him have one of those matches, we all knew who he was and just the rest of the world needed to be exposed to that. I’ve said it to him, he doesn’t like the reference but, he’s almost like our generation’s Dusty Rhodes. He’s the everyday guy, you know what I mean?"
Ortiz further added:
"He’s the blue-collar guy. He’s legit that guy and it’s just, his promos make you believe. No matter what, you know it’s coming from a place that’s real and then just him being my friend, on top of me actually just being a fan of his work, it was really awesome man."
Even at the age of 42, Kingston continues to perform at his best. It will be interesting to see what all he accomplishes before he finally rolls down the curtains on his career.
