Can't believe there wasn't already a thread about it.
Let's talk about it.

Yeah really good. But as usual with Wardlow it's the follow up. If he really is gonna make it to the main event properly this is a good starting point

This was sthr most unintentionally funny promo I've watched. We'll see if they follow up on this character development. For some reason Wardlow always has the ball dropped.

There isn't a thread but it was talked in the UK thread.
Wardlow has more charisma than all members of the kingdom combined. And shots at Punk is always welxome
Being In the UK ia just holding him back

Now that I've repeated that joke from the Dynamite thread, I was entertained and happy they seem to be leading to something for War Dog

I thought it was a really strong night for promos tbh, this, Christian and Garcia's and Sting's were all great.
I haven't watched AEW from the beginning and haven't seen a lot of Wardlow promos back but this was easily the best I've seen him on the mic. He made a really compelling point too, he's beaten, squashed in one case, some of what are now the top guys in the company, in kayfabe he's well worthy of a world title shot. It's right there for them if they want it, they can afford to shift the title around a bit this year having had a year long run, and Adam Cole is 100% going to be in the title picture once he's healthy so they could definitely do the Wardlow challenging for it and Cole wanting the title given to him if he wins thing they've teased.

I thought it was hilarious as I was watching it live, too. But I think it's really because it just came from out of nowhere. The content and delivery were good. I have no idea why he turned the camera towards the stage, though.

If he really is gonna make it to the main event properly this is a good starting point Follow-up is one of the biggest problems still in AEW. If you are one of the top ten guys they do alright, but after theres big moments, matches, or promos. Where nothing happens with it for months, then when it does the guy is no longer hot.

We need Mr. Backlund in AEW now. I've always been a huge fan of the Mr. Backlund character so if Wardlow can continue like this and get crazier/worse, he could go from my most disliked guy to most liked guy in AEW. I'm not even trolling, that shit last night was f***ing hilarious.

It was funny but I also thought it was Wardlow's best promo. The bar might not be high for Wardlow, but I thought he nailed it, didn't falter in his words, really got some shit over. Stealing the catchphrases of the people he laid out is an amazing touch and if he uses "THIS IS WAR" enough like that it'll get over itself tbh
I thought people would crap on it online and they also didn't which to me is a positive sign, definitely build on it, Wardlow's last few weeks to me is an indication they found something with the guy

If I thought 'complete dumbass meathead saying the most insanely wrong and hilarious shit unintentionally' was the point of the promo, it'd be amazing. For what I think it's trying to be and where I think it's going to lead? Pure snarkbait, keep rolling iti n.

Wardlow has beat Joe almost every time but what happens when you add Kurt Angle to the mix?

That was his best promo to date and showed that he doesn't need anyone talking for him in the group.
Hopefully he gets a run at the World Title down the line or at least a title shot.
