Pro wrestling veteran and AEW star Anthony Henry appeared on AEW Unrestricted. He discussed several topics, including how he was hired by the company, noting that Eddie Kingston pushed for it to happen.
Henry said, “I got the chance to wrestle Eddie Kingston, who I wrestled in Evolve and we were good friends with. That was another lucky situation where, again, locker room rapport, right? He went out of his way to make sure and try to get me a job. He could have eaten me up because he was a star, but he did not do that, instead he gave me 80% of the match, sold for me, and Tony was very happy with it I think. From there, I’ve been here since. Crazy how things work out but it was literally the day of my non-compete being up.”
