Edward Moore (born December 12, 1981), better known by the ring name Eddie Kingston, is an American professional wrestler. As of July 2024[update], he is signed to All Elite Wrestling (AEW), where he is out of in-ring action because of a leg injury, but continues to make on-air appearances. He was the inaugural AEW Continental Champion. Moore also performs for AEW's sister promotion, Ring of Honor (ROH), where he is a former ROH World Champion. Additionally, he makes appearances for New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW), where he is a former Strong Openweight Champion. All three of these championships were defended jointly under the Continental Crown Championship banner until he lost the Continental Championship.
Moore started his wrestling career in 2002, and has wrestled for numerous promotions, including Evolve, the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA), Chikara, AAW Wrestling, Combat Zone Wrestling, Independent Wrestling Association Mid-South, Impact Wrestling (renamed Total Nonstop Action Wrestling in 2024) and Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (PWG). Outside of brief stints in Impact and ROH, Kingston was a mainstay on the independent scene for 18 years before signing with AEW. Moore has been praised for his speaking skills and ability to cut promos, and is regarded by many as one of the best talkers of the modern professional wrestling era. This ability to cut promos has allowed him to stay on AEW programming even through his injury.[6][7]
