I love him because I remember guys in my neighborhood like him when I was growing up. His promos are great, and he has a great story of how he got to where he is.
All I ever hear is that he’s a fake tough guy who is out of shape with a weak finisher.
-I don’t think any pro wrestler is a “fake tough guy”
I didn’t get Eddie at first - and I had very little exposure to him before AEW, literally one match - but when someone in the other place described him as “the only person left who absolutely believes wrestling is real” I’ve loved him.
He brings so much sincerity to everything he does, you can’t help but see it as being real. His character work is incredible, or, he really is exactly how he seems.
