He has come a long way. I love how he worked in the storyline into his answers. And respect for asking question that lets them have room to work that in.
Correction...Wardlow IS a star. Its very hard to get over these days with fans who want flips from almost every wrestler all the time. Wardlow got over with 1 move even though he has a lot more in his arsenal.
@@chasincash8594 There's definitely quite a few of them, but the difference with Wardlow is with his size and look, he could be a star in any promotion in any era.
This is THE match I am looking forward to. On a side note, man, Cody did a lot for unsigned talent. Darby, MJF, Eddie Kingston, Wardlow, Jade, just to name a few. Sigh, wish someone else sees what Cody saw in those talents and not sign all former WWE guys, left, right and center.
@@claymathewselevator8121 I mean when it comes to Eddie Kingston, every promo is top tier. I think Eddie's best promo was against Moxley followed by his promo with Punk. But, his debut promo was great too.
Prime Goldberg was much better than people give him credit for (don't let Bret Hart hear you say that though). It's a shame that he's carried on too long and people will only remember him for being the shit show he is now.
Big Poppa Pump all roided up could do hurricanranas.. I don't see him as like Goldberg.. and Batista straight sucks at everything. Let Wardlow be Wardlow, hopefully they continue to give a good push and put him in title contention even if it's a lesser belt like the TNT strap, just give him some gold already!!!.. 👍
@@Robman275 people marked out hardcore on Goldberg.. he was WCW.. he was a man walking alone thru the shadows of the NWO... He was the one that won 150+ matches in a row and destroyed the bulk of the competition in just a couple minutes at the most. Goldberg was a legit badass how he was presented and how he came across with his wrestling character. And everyone ate it up!!. 👍😎
@@Pimpdaddysatan look up wardlow highlights on the indie scenes.. poppa pump was botching hurricanranas left and right no disrespect to the OG but a spades a spade. Agreed though, he should win the battle royal, beat Moxley, then eventually cm punk or even MJF
The thing is that AEW creates stars… While WWE seems to have a problem with that to the point they bringing back the older guys… AEW is a continuation of WCW!
Wcw in his last years was know for having and keep on top the "old guys" so what you are saying doesn't make since, it makes more since to say that WWE is now what WCW has, a company realing on his old stars. And AEW is creating knew ones
What stars have they created I'll give u mjf but that's it.. Being a wrestling star vs being an aew star is totally diff.. Besides who watch aew nobody knows most of the aew guys they have
You mean MJF and...... ? WWE even created some stars for AEW. Chris Jericho, CM Punk, etc. I guess Cody too, but look where he is now. Looks more like a star than ever.
True, and if WWE are trying to build new stars they don't know how to. For example, look at Theory. He is a talented wrestler I agree but look at the gimmick that they have given him, a guy who just takes selfies?? How in the hell are we supposed to believe this guy is the future of WWE if he only takes selfies??
@@tj2nasty4ya83 Scorpio Sky on his singles run, Hangman Page as champion, All Ego Ethan Page, Wardlow, Sammy Guevara (even though he has still has go home heat), Hook, list goes on and on oh, and WRESTLING fans know who the guys on the current roster are that came from all these different promotions, WWE fans don't. That's the difference. WWE can't seem to BUILD stars anymore with how they tend to change a lot of wrestlers' gimmicks or names or end up releasing a shit load of talent to sell the deception to you as them being even more "profitable" than recent years.
Wardlow has the looks and body of Batista , lashley and little mix of Brock and can do flying moves like how taker and Kane would do in their prime but his is better with hurricaranas, moonsaults etc
So that whole scheme with Wardlow and the contract to Max wasn’t a gimmick like you see with other promotions? I thought it was all just part of the storyline. 😮
I remember when they were gonna have wardlow come out and be introduced on dynamite then the plan must've changed because he didn't come our until he was paired with mjf. Either way he's a hugely popular beast possibly bigger than Batista was. Do your thing wardlow and keep the symphony playing
Wardlow is from the MJF School of Wrestling. Never really break kayfabe. Just start by telling people things they know to be true and then add a bit of the work, so they don’t know what’s true and what’s false. If you’re a wrestler, your job isn’t to convince people that wrestling isn’t a work. It’s to convince people that you’re not working them, or at least, youre questioning it.
I can't figure out if Max is a next-level talented performance artist/pro-wrestler, or just a genuinely bad human being. If it's the latter, then that's kinda disappointing.
One things for sure max is that guy you love to hate,and his non breakable character,and wardlow is that guy you hated to love right...amazing how personas jell so well 🥂✨ Ohio bebe🤘
@@tj2nasty4ya83 You guys really should stop focusing so much on viewer counts. They only really matter to executives, and even executives realize that in 2022, there's lots of people that don't watch live. I mean, WWE has done their worst, and several other next-worst ALL-TIME rating performances in the last year -- during a time when so many extra people were staying home watching television during the pandemic, instead of other kinds of entertainment. Every one of AEW's last four PPV's have been the record for that PPV. And the Khan's are already worth exponentially more than the McMahon's, so it isn't like anyone has to worry about them going under... Good thing for those of us that love pro wrestling that there's actually multiple major promotions in the U.S. -- we saw what happened with pro wrestling when WWE was essentially the only show in town, and it wasn't great.

Wardlow Is a future star, no doubt!

Apparently everybody in AEW are “future stars”
@@chasincash8594 There's definitely quite a few of them, but the difference with Wardlow is with his size and look, he could be a star in any promotion in any era.
He already is?
The best part of his comments on MJF are you honestly can't tell if it's in kayfabe or not. Dude has come a long way with his mic skills.
I hope they’re Kayfabe. If he’s able to switch into that heel persona so fluidly and in reality he is just a solid person, that is Oscar worthy.
@@notdylanspack Definitely kayfabe. MJF is basically Undertaker level when it comes to kayfabe.
@@pauladams6889exactly the reason he’s top tier
@@notdylanspack I agree
Of course he’s Kayfabin’ it! It’s quite obvious!

Eddie Kingston promo before answering Cody’s open challenge for the TNT Title was one of his best

Lol its not happening now MJF’s going home
@@UFCWWE69 he’s still in Vegas
@@UFCWWE69 No he didn't take his scarf and go home but nice try foo😂😂
Wardlow is a mix of Goldberg/Batista with a better moveset! Dude can do hurricanranas and summersaults it’s crazy. Future is bright
Na. Goldberg had great movesets

I can’t for Wardlow vs MJF!!!🔥🔥🔥
Thank you 4 the interview
This man is going to be a star. He is doing this interview while incorporating kayfabe. He is going to be one of AEWs biggest stars man.
I’m really rooting for Wardlow. I hope his career goes up and up from here 🥰❤️He seems very sweet, he looks great…..like a star!!💙
4:21 bro we saw it in your smile, your walk, your posture, everything! I loved it!
Credit to Wardlow for maintaining kayfabe throughout
Guy almost accidentally broke kayfabe for his recruitment story and then saved it lol. Nice.
I’m one of the people cheering on Wardlow from LI👍🏼
I can't wait for a wardlow are championship run
I'll bet MJF asked Wardlow to keep it kayfabe.
No shit!!! Glacier? I loved that guy when I was a kid. I love wardlow even more.
Wardlow is so nice
Wardlow!! Wardlow!!! Wardlow!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Future champion. He has the ability to be what reigns is in wwe.

Wardlow vs MJF is my favorite story
These guys hold a feud well. I know it’s probably actually all love and just trash talk but he sells it pretty well
Hey Mike!No one is sick of you!Just the opposite!Enjoy the push and ride,You are now a superstar,and the sky is the limit!!
Team Wardlow
🤝💓🔥
Whatta handsome man
Wardlow's the man! Hope he takes that belt from Puke.
my buddy pointed out to me that Wardlow looks like Uhtred from "The Last Kingdom" and i cant un-see it
hopefully mjf shows up.
Wardlow has the looks and body of Batista , lashley and little mix of Brock and can do flying moves like how taker and Kane would do in their prime but his is better with hurricaranas, moonsaults etc
Wardlow is the apittamy of a true blue chipper.

Top 2 best feuds this year in all wrestling... Love how Wardlow is staying in character and I want him to be the next Drax or Hercules in the MCU
Why, should a wrestlers end goal be Holywood?

That's the point.
Probably just a sarcastic NY asshole (in a good way) so he's able to amplify that side for wrestling.
One things for sure max is that guy you love to hate,and his non breakable character,and wardlow is that guy you hated to love right...amazing how personas jell so well 🥂✨ Ohio bebe🤘
Wardlow's biggest match was Punk.
If only dude had an ounce of charisma
I wish he asked why they teased the turn after 3 shows. Ha.
Someone told me they’re best friends irl but I’m pretty sure I’ve been lied to
Wardlow is great, but MJF made this guy
Until mjf destroyed him.
Kayfabe is alive!
I believe if AEW pushes him right he could be their “Roman” in terms of star power
Gotta get more than 900k viewers regularly to do that
AEW isn't going mainstream and that's why I don't think any of their wrestlers will reach the popularity like Roman, Seth, Balor etc
@@mohammedyasin4006 they just need a boom period. Like they had in the 80s and 90s

@@jasonjackson1708 I was referring to being a big star can't b a big star if the same ppl r watching u over n over again..
If wardlow learned anything from mjf, it should have been to keep kayfabe
Wardlow can be the Goldberg of AEW
if MJF indeed bailed on Wardlow and the ppv then f him. Just announce Wardlow as the winner.
tbh wwe is riping off wardlow with moss which is weird because wardlow is aew's batista
How? Their have been absolutely no similarities between anything the 2 have done. You’re reaching here and that’s putting it lightly.

Bastista 2.0
I hope Wardlow beats the shit out of MJF
He did 😂
Wish granted
MJF was absolutely squashed
Adam Page is not a star or champion,he has no business holding that belt
mjf did wardlow wrong and he's gonna learn at the end of next year that the past will haunt him.
