Someone on here (in a thread somewhere) called it so kudos to whoever that was. I wish I was better with names.

This is a great get! Tony was really impressed with Will during those media scrums. It paid off in dividends.

I like Will, so I think this is a good appointment.
Sadly, all the twitter trolls will claim he only got the job because he's related to Swerve.

Worse it will be once Swerve is pushed to the main event picture, they will scream "nepotism".

I've been listening to Will on and off since 2007. I stopped listening to RBR in 2012 when they had that one host that basically shit on everything, but especially indie wrestling. Seeing him pop back up after so long and seeing him be a success makes me so happy.

Will's one of the few Wrestling Twitter guys I like. Man knows his wrestling and is just a great dude all around. Beyond happy for him.

Anyone who says that is a moron especially considering people have WANTED Swerve pushed.

Great hire, and Tony has needed some extra hands on booking for awhile, and Will is a really good pick, as was said before he really has a good read on what's working and what's getting blowback, so I hope he's good at reeling some stuff in and helping talents shine

Sounds like he's going to wearing quite a few hats too. Good stuff!

I really think this will help with storylines and creative, especially with Collision on the way, Tony needed to delegate.

It's an especially great hire to bring in someone who hasn't been through the WWE system and has a younger perspective than a lot of guys running wrestling companies. You constantly need new voices and new approaches around you as a booker.

I said it in some other thread, but I think having a Black man in such an important, powerful role is a really good thing. I hope it means we see some oversights regarding wrestlers of color corrected.

I know nothing about him, but I feel like Tony could've used help with creative for a while now
I think he could be close overextending himself with ROH and AEW
