In a recent editorial Eddie Kingston talked about his mental health issues and the late Larry Sweeney saving his life: "So I drank. Christ, did I drink. I became a bouncer just so I could drink more. On the weekends I'd start drinking at 1 p.m. on Saturday, bounce at the bar until 7, go and wrestle somewhere, then come back to the bar after and drink til 7 in the morning. Then I'd wake up the next day and it was football Sunday, so I'd drink from noon till 2 a.m. I was sick. I hated myself. I would sit at home drinking whiskey, watching guys who I'd come up with in the indies wrestling on national TV in the big promotions, and I'd just sit and stew until I blew up. I'd punch holes in the walls. I'd smash bottles. I was a danger to myself and others. One week, I ended up going on a bender that was so bad that I just kind of disappeared. I was supposed to be doing shows and I just didn't show up. I smashed my cell phone and no one could get ahold of me. People were scared that I was dead. I woke up one afternoon and there were just beer bottles smashed everywhere in my apartment. For some reason, I checked my mailbox, probably looking for a miracle check or something, and I had a letter. I'm like, 'A letter? The last person that ever wrote me a letter was my grandma.' I opened this letter, and it was from my friend Alex Whybrow, aka Larry Sweeney. Longtime indie wrestler, amazing dude. He wrote me a letter as a last resort. He said everyone was really worried about me and he begged me to reach out. And I'll never forget, this one line at the end, it said... 'I feel like I've lost my best friend. Please call me.' For some reason, that woke me up. I called Alex and I crawled up out of my hole. I just always felt like nobody ever cared about me. I felt like a failure, a loser, a bad friend. It's something that's been with me since I was a kid. If Alex hadn't sent me that letter, I don't think I would be here today. I probably would have drank myself to death. He saved my life. And the saddest part about it is that those words that he said to me must have come from a very deep place within himself ... because he ended up taking his own life just a few years later. I think he knew the pain that I was going through. He knew that darkness."

In addition Eddie Kingston talks about his promo segment with CM Punk HERE.

If you've noticed there's been less content uploaded to the UpUpDownDown YouTube channel lately, it's not your imagination. Content creators for UUDD are reportedly holding out for Xavier Woods (Austin Watson) gets a better deal than the one he currently has now from WWE -- they own the channel even though he created the brand. Furthermore a lot of the top contributors to the brand (Mia Yim, Adam Cole, Jessamyn Duke, et cetera) have recently been released by WWE, meaning that the organic content they once would have generated is not available any more. When you see "shorts" from the likes of Happy Corbin and Mustafa Ali, that's WWE trying to shove content down the pipeline without regard as to whether or not it fits the brand. (FF)

NXT highlights and new WWE related videos are below.

In this interview Billy Gunn talks about AEW versus WWE: "Do we really want to take them down? Is it better that we just have competition? I think that's what made the Attitude Era and the thing with WCW and WWE good is that there was competition. If you don't have any competition, then I feel, and these are my opinions, I feel that we thrive on competition. The minute we try to start poking the bear or try to say we're better than them, I feel that we're not concentrating on the best that AEW can do. Like WWE is always going to be WWE. AEW's going to be AEW. So let's just be us. If our paths cross and it becomes something like that, let it happen naturally."

Juice Robinson's deal with New Japan Pro Wrestling expires in January. (FF)

Via social media Zoey Stark confirmed she's having surgery on a torn ACL.

On her latest podcast Chelsea Green says someone in NXT tried to sandbag her with ROH: "Since we're on that topic, a little birdie told me that - now this is juicy... I'm just going to get into it, fuck it. When I debuted at Ring of Honor this summer, someone at the top of the NXT food chain called them to tell them that they shouldn't hire me. So let me just get this straight. When I got fired from WWE, someone at the top of the NXT food chain called the company who was about to hire me to help me provide food for my fucking family and for myself, and told them not to hire me?!"

The former Bray Wyatt will be doing a film with Callosum Studios this month.

Arn Anderson talks about his "glock" promo: "That was meant to be a metaphor. And to let everyone know that I am through being a victim. I've had enough and I am not a victim, I am a predator. I just used a very extreme example, I don't carry a gun, I have never carried a gun on my person. It was meant to be what it was and I think the shock value was the 'Spilling of the brains, painting the sidewalk with the brains,' which is what I think had everybody go 'whoa, okay alright.' 99% of everything I read or saw understood don't take it literally, people got it."

Doudrop wants to be in the men's Royal Rumble match: "I know they have a pretty hard stance on things, but it's always been a dream of mine to be the first woman to win the male Rumble. Whether that even comes into fruition or not, we'll see - but that's always been a dream of mine. You've just gotta hope."
