"It was sloppy" - Wrestling legend slams AEW star's recent match against Wardlow
Jim Cornette recently slammed AEW star Wardlow's match with The Butcher last week.
Mr. Mayhem faced off against the hulking AFO member on the latest episode of AEW Dynamite. MJF hired The Butcher to stop the momentum that Wardlow has been gaining recently, but the plan proved to be unsuccessful.
After a tough fight, Maxwell's former employee was able to take down his opponent. In doing so, he seemingly moved one step closer to earning a showdown with the Salt of the Earth.
Jim Cornette, however, was not pleased with Wardlow's booking and the way the match progressed
Speaking on Jim Cornette's Drive Thru, the wrestling legend criticized The Butcher's botched powerbomb.
"It was sloppy because Butcher ain't smooth and finally they let Butcher give Wardlow a bomb," said Cornette. "Of course he fell down doing it and not on purpose but I didn't need to see Wardlow be power-bombed unless it's by you know the Big Show on pay-per-view at some point in the future whatever."
He further expressed his opinion that the match-up was not beneficial for Mr. Mayhem's run in AEW.
"So then Wardlow gets up and hits the four power bombs in a row and gets the people back finally for the finish one two three and big pop. Butcher is not completely rotten but he ain't wonderful either and I don't think this was the thing for Wardlow." [3:50 - 4:30]
