Eddie Kingston: My Dream Came True When I Competed In NJPW G1 Climax 33

Eddie Kingston is now targeting a new dream.

AEW/ROH star Eddie Kingston made his G1 Climax when he competed in the NJPW G1 Climax 33. He had an impressive run in the tournament, but he didn't make it out of the round robin portion of the tournament. Still, the experience clearly meant a lot to Kingston, the reigning NJPW STRONG Openweight Champion, who has often discussed his passion for Japanese wrestling.

In his post-match comments following his bout at the NJPW G1 Climax 33 final, Kingston made it clear that he was honored to compete in an NJPW ring. He also stated that his dream has come true, so now he's on to a new dream.

"It was an honor and a pleasure to step in a New Japan ring and to wrestle here in Japan. I will never forget any of you, and I will take all the lessons I learned here over to America. My dream has come true. Now, new dream. I appreciate you all. Oh, remember, you reap what you sow," Kingston said.
