Organizers of a benefit event staged by C*4 Wrestling announced late Friday that Eddie Kingston will not appear as planned, saying the change was due to circumstances outside their control. The show, scheduled for Aug. 14, will proceed with live streaming and a continued appeal for donations to support cancer-related causes.
Show to continue with streaming and limited tickets
The promotion confirmed the cancellation in a social-media post and reassured fans that the remainder of the card will go ahead. The event was to feature several independent talents and had been promoted as a fundraiser; organisers said they will attempt to compensate fans for the last-minute change where possible.
“We are deeply sorry to announce that due to circumstances beyond our control, Eddie Kingston will no longer be appearing tonight at our event. We assure you the show is going to be incredible, and we will do our best to make up for the change.”
Broadcast arrangements remained in place. The promotion said the card would stream at 7:30 p.m. EST on IWTV and the company’s YouTube channel, and that limited tickets would be offered at the door. A fundraising page linked by the organisers continues to accept donations for the campaign.
Local impact and the wider wrestling context
For Kingston-area wrestling fans, benefit shows such as this serve two purposes: they bring live, affordable entertainment to smaller venues and act as grassroots fundraisers for local causes. Even without a headliner, cards of this kind typically feature regional talent who rely on these events for income and exposure.
Organisers highlighted the fundraising element when confirming the change. Donations were directed to a cancer-relief campaign; the streaming option gives fans outside the immediate area an opportunity to support the drive.
- Performer withdrawn: Eddie Kingston
- Event date: Aug. 14
- Stream time: 7:30 p.m. EST
- Platforms: IWTV and C*4 Wrestling YouTube channel
- Ticketing: Limited availability at the door
Eddie Kingston is concurrently involved in a separate, higher-profile competition, having advanced from the first round of the AEW Continental Cup. That commitment was cited in coverage of his absence, although the promotion’s statement framed the withdrawal as driven by factors beyond their control.
Practical information for residents
Fans wishing to view or support the fundraiser can do so online; those planning to attend in person should expect reduced capacity and the possibility of sold-out admission at the door. The organisers’ post included a link to a fundraising platform for donations and urged supporters to contribute if they are able.
| Detail | Information |
|---|---|
| Streaming time | 7:30 p.m. EST |
| Platforms | IWTV; C*4 Wrestling YouTube channel |
| Tickets | Limited at the door |
| Fundraising | Donations accepted via the linked cancer campaign page |
Local independent promotions frequently adjust cards at short notice because of travel conflicts, higher-profile bookings and other commitments. For Kingston residents interested in live wrestling or supporting local charitable efforts, organisers recommended following C*4 Wrestling’s social channels for the latest updates and lineup announcements.
