Eddie Kingston paid homage to the late Terry Funk during the AEW All Out PPV event on Sunday night.

Kingston tagged with Katsuyori Shibata and took on the team of Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Yuta from the Blackpool Combat Club. Kingston didn't copy signature Funk moves during the match, but his fashion choice was a definite nod in Funk's direction.

Funk famously wore a bright orange shirt to the ring that read "Dusty Sucks Eggs," a saying that came from a promo he cut in 1980. Tonight during the PPV event, Kingston walked to the ring in a bright orange shirt that read "Claudio Sucks Eggs." Kingston and Claudio Castagnoli have been embroiled in a feud for the ROH World Championship for the better part of 2023.

Eddie Kingston has regularly reminded fans and media that Funk and other Japanese performers played an integral role in his life. This weekend at Starrcast, Kingston hosted a special stage show with Japanese wrestler, Kawada.
