About Eddie Kingston

Edward Moore (born December 12, 1981), better known by his ring name Eddie Kingston, is an American professional wrestler. He is signed to All Elite Wrestling (AEW), where he is a one-time and the inaugural AEW Continental Champion. He also performs for AEW's sister promotion Ring of Honor (ROH), where he is a one-time ROH World Champion, and in Japan for New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW), where he is a one-time Strong Openweight Champion. He simultaneously defended all three championships as the singular Continental Crown Championship. Moore started his wrestling career in 2002, and has wrestled for numerous promotions, including Evolve, the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA), Chikara, AAW Wrestling, Combat Zone Wrestling, Independent Wrestling Association Mid-South, Impact Wrestling, and Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (PWG). Outside of brief stints in Impact and ROH, he was a mainstay on the independent circuit for 18 years before signing with AEW. He has been praised for his ability on the microphone, especially when cutting promos, and is regarded by many as one of the best talkers in professional wrestling; this ability has often allowed him to remain featured on AEW programming even when injured.
