AEW star Eddie Kingston didn't hold back from poking fun at WCW veteran Disco Inferno by spilling the beans on a hilarious backstage story from back in the day.
The Mad King has become the talk of the wrestling world lately, especially since reports alluded to his recent secret suspension amidst ongoing real-life heat with Sammy Guevara. The two men have been on a collision course since the Blood and Guts episode of Dynamite and were building up their storyline for a singles match at All Out.
However, Guevara jested Kingston as a "fat piece of sh*t" in an unaired promo from the August 10 tapings of Rampage which incited a physical altercation backstage. Kingston reportedly pie-faced Guevara, which resulted in a suspension that is now over.
In the wake of the backstage incident, Disco Inferno seemingly took a shot at The Mad King (other wrestlers as well), asking them to stop being victims of fat-shaming trolls and get back in shape:
"Wrestlers and fans need to pull a full stop on this "fat shaming" bullsh*t. The wrestlers being fat shamed need to put the effort in to the gym and diet instead of playing victim. Do the f**king work and stop embarrassing this industry," Inferno tweeted.
Kingston didn't take it lightly as he responded by claiming he heard a story about Paul Wight (aka The Big Show) once "farting" in Inferno's face in WCW:
"You never did the work and the boys kept you around to laugh at you. I remember hearing the story where big show farted in your face. You ain't a man," Kingston replied.
