He's not bad, but he needs a lot of bells and whistles, smoke and mirrors to maintain his overness and AEW have failed him on that front with his confusing stop start booking and hanging him out to dry. He's also not the type of wrestler whose matches are a draw on their own so they're really struggling uphill with this push. Wardlow was dead when he turned into a doofus babyface and decided to go for the TNT rather than world title.
