How long until Wardlow turns on MJF? 👀👀

@itsmikewexler 2 года назад

It’ll be soon!

@GamingwithMasterskull 2 года назад

2-4 Weeks

@a4ur8 2 года назад

It won't be long now because it's been a slow-building process, which is very prudent instead of rushing it. Once he finally turns on MJF and if he's used properly, look out.

Wardlow confirming there are cookies and cake in catering is one of the most endearing things ever! I also loved the tension between him and Hager in all the Inner Circle/MJF interactions. That silent, brooding tough guy standoff was comedy gold!

Funny how Wardlow talks about Batista being an inspiration as far as bodybuilding. Wardlow is like the modern day version of Evolution Batista. Still waiting for him to give Max the thumbs down and power bomb him through a table.

@edv959 2 года назад

I “grew up” watching Wardlow in Pittsburgh from when I was 13 or 14 until now and IWC where Britt Baker and Him came from was my first exposure to independent wrestling and I can not even begin to tell you how kind of a person Wardlow is, nor how incredible of a wrestler he is. I met him again in Pittsburgh in august when it was here and he remembered me and we talked for a long time. He is going to be THE guy in AEW soon.

@theoneandonlymichaelmccormick 2 года назад

Back in November of this year I was tux shopping in Erie, PA and the clerk at the Men’s Warehouse noticed my Bryan Danielson tee shirt and started talking about how it was nice to meet a fan of wrestling, and that he was a wrestler himself. I anticipated that he’d be an independent worker, which is super cool in its own right, but then he showed me locker room pictures on his phone of him and people like Britt Baker, the Hardy’s, Ricky Steamboat, Wardlow, (most pertinently), and several others, and I was legitimately super impressed. He introduced himself as Big League John McChesney. He told me that Wardlow had been in his promotion, Revenge Pro Wrestling, a couple years ago, and that Wardlow was one of the hardest working men in the business. He told me to wait and see, that Wardlow was on the upswing, and that he was gonna be HUGE. I’m glad to say he was right.

@celestialgoddessgaming 2 года назад

This guy reminds me of the Roman Reigns of AEW. Think he could have a hell of a face turn then an even better heel turn a few years after. Definitely cheering for the dude.
