Wardlow was the latest guest on AEW’s Unrestricted Podcast. During the show, the newest member of the Inner Circle talked about how he got to All Elite Wrestling, taking a trip through the Pittsburgh indie scene, his lone wolf mentality and much more.
Wardlow on not remembering much about his cage match with Cody Rhodes:
“It’s like that whole evening and match is like a blackout. I don’t remember the entrance. The only thing I really remember is when I was standing in the ring, and Cody and I were squaring off when the bell rang.”
On joining The Inner Circle:
“I was a little more surprised that Jericho welcomed us [MJF & Wardlow] with smiles and hugs and all of that.”
Wardlow shares his personal philosophy about wrestling:
“Wrestling for me, you know, this is what I do. This is what I know. This is very real to me. When I get out there, I’m competing. I’m an athlete. I’m a wrestler. I’m not an entertainer. I’m not an artist. You know, when I’m out there, am I entertaining? Absolutely. Do I create art? Art of war, sure. I’ll create a painting with their blood.”
