Is Wardlow injured or does Tony just not know what to do with him? He seems like a guy the WWE could turn into a star?

According to our own Mike Johnson, he had a knee injury, then he was in a car wreck.  He just filmed 2 seasons of American Gladiators in France.  He was backstage at All In.

With that said, he hasn’t been booked well in AEW when he was there.  Tony should have strapped the rocket to him after he beat MJF, but he didn’t.  I would love to see him go to WWE.

What happened to WWE Speed on X?

It stopped on July 9 and there has been no official announcement. It seems like it's done but maybe WWE will say it went on hiatus with Byte This. 

Cody Rhodes talked about not being treated well before he left AEW and said they would see how much he did there once he was gone.  How could Tony Khan left that happen to one his very top guys?

You could ask CM Punk that question because Tony let it happen to him too.  Honestly, I think it’s because Tony is really happy owning a wrestling company and wants to put on a wrestling product that he likes to watch. My guess is that he doesn’t want to deal with headaches so he takes the path of least resistance, even when it means losing his best people.  

You missed a publishing deadline and therefore must take a version of a DDT.  Who you taking it from and why:  Jake Roberts, Cody, DDP, Randy Orion or someone else with that famous finisher I’ve missed?

I would make Mike Johnson take it for me so he can decide.  I am the boss so I delegate.

Different missed deadline but now you have to take a pile driver, who from and why: Undertaker, Paul Orndorff, Don Muraco, Owen, Mick Foley or someone else I’ve missed that used it?

I wouldn’t.  If forced to do it, I would quit.  I wouldn’t let anyone come that close to dropping me on my head.  Owen was one of the greatest technicians ever and even he hurt Steve Austin when the move wasn’t done perfectly.
