Wardlow Probably Won't Be Doing Arn Anderson's Moves Despite AEW Pairing
Wardlow finds himself in good hands with one of professional wrestling's most legendary performers — Arn Anderson. But the question is: how much influence will "The Enforcer" have over the recently-crowned TNT Champion?
During a recent edition of the "ARN" podcast, Anderson was asked if there was a possibility of seeing Wardlow weave in some of Anderson's signature moves into his repertoire, much like his son, Brock Anderson, has. "I don't think so," Arn said. "Now, Brock, I may give some shortcuts to some things. I may help fill his tool belt up with some of my stuff, but I think Wardlow is a totally different cat. And I'm just looking forward to asking him, 'Hey, what can you do that I haven't seen? What have you thought about doing that no one's thought about?' I want to get in his head. I want to pick his brain, see if he's creative."
With Wardlow's impressive athletic abilities, Anderson believes his client can pull off nearly anything he suggests if given some time to assess. Before they were officially paired together, Anderson revealed he'd been keeping an eye on Wardlow from afar. Through his observation, Anderson began uncovering some of the deeper layers of Wardlow, such as his outstanding professionalism and kind demeanor backstage. In the ring, Anderson was intrigued by Wardlow's versatility as a powerhouse. "He's not just a big guy that just mows you down. He ain't afraid to go up top," Anderson said.
Ultimately, Anderson is ready to unleash the "monster" lying beneath the surface of Wardlow. They may be in the early stages of working together, but with his guidance, Anderson is confident that Wardlow can reach that next level.
