I just want him to turn due to Tony giving him a contract, making Wardlow independent of MJF.

Maybe Wardlow beats up MJF and Max tries to fire him, but we learn that Wardlow signed a contract with AEW.

This angle was at 1% for like two years and has jumped to 80% of the way to the turn recently. I'm not sure that's savvy long-term booking so much as kinda poor planning and letting an angle go cold for a while during other angles you're doing instead.
Either way, this is clearly very over, and that's fine, but I just don't care about Wardlow, at all. He has no character to speak of, he just powerbombs people. I liked that one promo he cut with the Pinnacle about a hundred years ago, but he barely even speaks, never mind anything else.
It's also an issue to ever set up someone turning on MJF, one of the only heels who knows wrestling is fake and books himself to see things coming all the time. I can only assume Wardlow's actual face turn will involve the Pinnacle beating the shit out of him.

I misunderstood this post at first and thought you were suggesting Tony Schiavone be the one offering Wardlow a contract because of how much he hates MJF. "Tony, I appreciate this contract offer..." "I'll bump it another 10 grand a year and throw in a company car." "I don't think you make this much on podcasts and baseball announcing." "...25 grand more and a private limo to every show."

You think MJF will get a new bodyguard? Kinda Like Sid replaced Diesel after he turned.

I don't think they "slow burn" I just think they jump from angle to angle and almost forget what they've done and then go back to it when they get round to it. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt with some things because Covid has probably harmed a lot of things with losing talent for weeks on end and obviously the issues with Mox, but their storytelling is something that needs improvement IMO.

Maybe the Pinnacle whoop his ass, but CM Punk saves him, further cementing the turn by having one of AEW’s top faces make the save.
