Wardlow gives more praise to Billy Gunn as a coach and names The Pinnacle members that still help him on a regular basis.
Wardlow, despite his relative inexperience, has been in the ring with some major Superstars like Chris Jericho and CM Punk. Every week he is getting better and he credits that to the beside-the-scenes help from names like Billy Gunn.
In addition to Billy Gunn, The War Dog credits FTR as the only members of The Pinnacle still smart enough for him to associate with.
“Billy Gunn has been my coach for the majority of my time in AEW," Wardlow explains to Z100’s Josh Martinez on his Superstar Crossover podcast. “So every single match, he has been my coach. So every match, he always has had a piece of advice for me. Every single match, he's given me — even if it's just one little tweak, he gives me something to work on for next week, and I love it. I literally obsess over what he says for a whole week. Then, I get to correct that the next week. That has honestly been what’s exciting for me to do, too. Just knowing that I'm bettering myself every week and challenging myself to work on these things. So I would say Billy Gunn, but then also before we imploded, the members of The Pinnacle. Obviously, Max and I have had a falling out. Obviously, Spears has completely lost his mind. Fortunately, Dax and Cash, still are intelligent enough for me to associate with, and they all still help me big time.”
As for his fallout with Maxwell Jacob Friedman, Wardlow says he now drools over the idea of powerbombing Maxwell one day. It's so all-consuming that he is planning on doing it until his arms go numb.
"Dude, the thought of powerbombing Max makes me drool,” said Wardlow. “I obsess over it. I cannot wait to powerbomb that kid. I’m going to powerbomb him until my arms go numb.”
Wardlow will soon get his opportunity to powerbomb MJF, but first that they have to sign the contract on the Wednesday, March 11 episode of Dynamite. Learn more here.
