Eddie Kingston: Bryan Danielson Isn’t The GOAT, It’s Terry Funk
Eddie Kingston takes exception to Bryan Danielson being the GOAT.
Bryan Danielson has only wrestled once since losing to MJF in an Iron Man match at AEW Revolution, but he’s played an active part on AEW Dynamite, often joining the commentary table alongside Excalibur, Tony Schiavone, and Taz.
While he’s been on commentary, he’s been praised by Excalibur and Schiavone as being the greatest of all-time.
Eddie Kingston disagreed.
“We were talking about Bryan Danielson one night, it was probably a couple of weeks ago, and I said, ‘Bryan Danielson is probably the best professional wrestler I’ve ever seen.’ My phone lights up. It’s Eddie Kingston. ‘It’s Terry Funk. You fuck,'” recalled Tony Schiavone on What Happened When.
Kingston weighed in saying, “I’m sitting there after hernia surgery, watching Dynamite on one of the fucking Turner stations, and I hear the blasphemy coming out of Excalibur and Schiavone’s mouth about Bryan Danielson being the GOAT. I said, ‘Absolutely not, I can’t let this go.’ I got a group chat with the guys, so I got, ‘Hey fuckos, it’s Terry Funk, the greatest of all time.'”
Kingston made his return to AEW on the June 14 episode of AEW Dynamite, setting his sights on ROH World Champion Claudio Castagnoli.
Kingston is set to speak on the June 21 episode of AEW Dynamite.
