The TNT champion reveals something he hadn’t shared before regarding the first AEW Blood & Guts.
Wardlow has often spoken about his workout regime and how he’s always in the gym to ensure he looks good year-round. Part of his training is learning to work through injuries. Wardlow would reveal while speaking to Athletes and the Arts that he entered Blood And Guts 1 with a major injury.
“I’m wrestling year-round with injuries. I got in trouble with Doc [Doc Sampson] one time because I didn’t tell anybody about a torn calf that blew out doing sprints because I was getting prepared for Blood and Guts and I wasn’t going to miss that match for nothing. I hid it and wrestled with a completely torn calf. I have tears in my knee, my shoulders, I’m a mess, but we love it and this is what we do,”
Wardlow to Athletes And The Arts
Wardlow competed in the first Blood & Guts match on May 5, 2021 when he teamed with The Pinnacle (MJF, Shawn Spears, Cash Wheeler and Dax Harwood) to defeat The Inner Circle (Chris Jericho, Jake Hager, Sammy Guevara, Santana and Ortiz).
