AEW s Wardlow cites similarities between wrestlers and horror movie characters

Wardlow signed with AEW in 2020 and has had an impressive run since AEW star Wardlow recently claimed that there were no differences between pro-wrestlers and iconic horror movie characters. He further cited that he would easily be able to defeat Freddy Krueger in a match. The 34-year old star defeated Scorpio Sky in July this year to win the TNT Championship. He has been on a dominant, undefeated streak since. Over the past few weeks, he has seemingly formed an alliance with former WWE Superstar Samoa Joe. Recently on Busted Open Radio, the TNT Champion joked about how The Nightmare on Elm Street icon would be the easiest to defeat. The star further cited how wrestlers and horror characters have a gimmick, music and at times a catchphrase: “Horror characters are just essentially pro wrestlers,” Wardlow said. “They have a gimmick. They have a theme song. They have a finishing move. A catchphrase in some cases.” (H/T ) "We have some really positive leadership, guys like Chris Jericho and Jon Moxley and Bryan Danielson. They’ve done such a good job of getting the locker room together and on the same page and getting our company on the right track.”
