Gabe Kidd Ends Eddie Kingston’s ”Triple Crown” Title Run

By: R. Faliani

In a brutal No Rope match, the young and fiery Gabe Kidd defeated the NJPW Strong Openweight Champion Eddie Kingston and became the face of NJPW Strong in the United States. Bullet Club’s war dog learned from his mistakes in other matches with Kingston and came to this one with enough drive and confidence to run through a wall and embrace “Toukon Style” like no other wrestler.

MAY 11!

With this defeat, the legend of “Triple Crown Eddie” comes to a brutal end in the hands of he who could potentially be New Japan’s next foreign star. It’s just a matter of time until Kidd’s success becomes more apparent to both his enemies and his peers alike. For now, the War Dogs add another title to their resume and are still working on the resurgence of the Bullet Club as a dominant force in the cerulean blue.
