For those who don’t know, Eddie Kingston and Jon Moxley are real life long time friends and it turns out Eddie was in the trenches during Moxley’s lowest time period.
Jon Moxley stepped away from the ring last year to enter rehab for alcohol related addiction. He returned to the company in January of this year, cutting an impassioned promo regarding his time away. He’s shared very little of the little details until he joined his wife Renee Paquette on The Sessions where he revealed even more.
Now while speaking to ESPN, Eddie Kingston and talked about how he helped Moxley:
To admit that he needed help — that took more manhood than not doing it,”
“To me, being vulnerable, it takes a real man to be that.”
“I told her, ‘He has a baby girl now, he has you — he has to get help right away,'”
‘Oh, he has this wrestling thing coming up, maybe he should wait.’ Nah, f— that. Get him help now.”
