Popular AEW star Eddie Kingston recently opened up about his rocky relationship with Bryan Danielson.
Danielson and Kingston have been both friends and foes. The two men shared the common goal of destroying The Jericho Appreciation Society and have worked together at Double or Nothing and Dynamite: Blood and Guts.
However, it's no secret that Kingston has an animosity towards Danielson that goes back to their days on the independent circuit. At one point, The Mad King even called The American Dragon a "judgmental pr**k" for what he felt was the latter's tendency to judge people.

The Mad King then admitted that he and Claudio Castagnoli were cool now as AEW World Champion Jon Moxley urged him to do so. However, he reiterated that he does not intend to be on amicable terms with The American Dragon.
"I don't talk to him [Regal] because he's a Bryan fan. He really likes Bryan [Danielson] and he really likes Claudio [Castagnoli]. Me and Claudio are cool now, but I don't trust him. Only reason me and Claudio are cool is because Mox [Jon Moxley] asked me. I told Mox that I would never be cool with Bryan," Kingston said. [H/T Fightful]
