Wardlow is depressed these days.
The former TNT Champion spoke at the recent Terrificon 2023 event about being depressed over being off of AEW TV for the last couple months.
"It is very surreal for me to be sitting up here, and I think these two gentlemen [Danhausen and Ethan Page] would agree," he began. "I think we all have similar come-ups in the business. We’ve been grinding for years. We’ve probably dreamed and wished of getting moments like these our whole lives. So I’ve been off TV for almost a couple months, and I’ve been very depressed."
He added, "Wrestling is my everything. It makes me happy. So today, I feel like me again for the first time in months. So I just want to say thank you guys for coming out because you guys really flip a switch in my mind and my heart that I needed, so thank you."
