Eddie Kingston Opens Up About Bipolar Depression in wXw Documentary, Says He Sees No Stigma in Speaking Out

Eddie Kingston has never been one to shy away from the harder conversations, and his commitment to openness around mental health continues to stand out in professional wrestling. In a segment featured in a One Day At wXw documentary, Kingston addressed his bipolar depressive diagnosis directly, stating plainly that he tells everyone about his condition and does not see a stigma attached to it.

Kingston has spoken about his mental health in the past, having previously disclosed his bipolar depressive diagnosis publicly. His willingness to revisit the subject — this time in a documentary setting — underscores a consistency that goes beyond a single candid moment. For a performer who has built much of his connection with audiences on raw authenticity, discussing something as personal as a mental health diagnosis fits squarely within that identity.

The One Day At wXw series puts a spotlight on wrestlers in a more personal, documentary-style format, giving talent the space to speak outside the usual promotional context. Kingston’s appearance in that setting and his choice to address mental health head-on adds another layer to what has become one of the more quietly impactful advocacy voices in the industry.

Mental health stigma remains a genuine barrier to people seeking help, and high-profile athletes and entertainers who speak candidly about their own diagnoses can play a meaningful role in shifting that dynamic. Kingston’s straightforward approach — no hedging, no dramatizing, just acknowledgment — reflects exactly the kind of normalization that advocates in the mental health space point to as valuable. It’s a reminder that sometimes the most powerful thing a public figure can do is simply say: this is who I am.
