AEW Honors Eddie Gilbert At 2300 Arena After Collision Taping

AEW held a segment to honor the late Eddie Gilbert at the 2300 Arena after Thursday night’s AEW Collision taping. As you can see in part below from a tweet by BodySlam.net, the company held a segment paying tribute to Gilbert following the tapings.

The segment featured appearances by Tony Khan, Sting, Jeff Jarrett, Tommy Rich, and Doug Gilbert. Gilbert was the booker for Eastern Championship Wrestling before Paul Heyman took his place and eventually turned it into ECW.

Khan also posted to Twitter after the tribute, writing:

“Thank you to the fans in the 2300 Arena tonight + thank you @RealDougGilbert + @realtommyrich + @RealJeffJarrett + The Icon @Sting for joining us tonight after the AEW tv taping and participating in a tribute to The King of Philadelphia, the late great “Hot Stuff” Eddie Gilbert!”
