Wardlow was a recent guest on the “Dynamite Download” podcast to discuss a variety of professional wrestling topics, including the people that have helped him out during his time in All Elite Wrestling.
Additionally, the current AEW TNT Champion credited Cody Rhodes for being a huge influence on his career.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On the guys that have helped him out: “QT, QT’s the man. He really is. QT is the man in so many ways, people have no clue. There’s so much I could say about QT. But yeah, him as well, Arn Anderson.”
On Cody Rhodes: “I would say the biggest — so obviously Cody Rhodes is a huge influence and really helped me out at the beginning stage. I’ve always been cool with Cody, and vice versa. Cody and QT were my first contacts with AEW. It started with them — I mean, the cage match [with Cody]. I love Cody, and I’ll always support Cody no matter what he’s doing. No matter what. He’s never been anything but kind and supportive of me, and I’ve never seen him be anything other than that with other people. So, that’s just my perspective.”
On others who have helped him out: “Cash and Dax [of FTR], and Shawn Spears? Huge. The knowledge that those men have shared with me, and the way they’ve kind of taken me under their wing, and the bond and relationship we’ve grown to have, myself and those three men.”
On Spears’ role in his feud with MJF: “Unfortunately, Shawn Spears lost his mind there for a while. I do think he’s reeling it back, I think he’s finally… snapped back to reality, thank goodness. I thought he was gonna be one of those guys [at All Out with MJF] who pulled the ski mask off, like, ‘Noo, no no. Don’t go back there. It’s a trap!’ You know, I’m sure he’ll be back to do his thing… He was great there. He is great. You know, Spears, Cash, Dax are so good at professional wrestling.”
