Jim Ross sees big things for Powerhouse Hobbs and Wardlow.
Speaking on the latest episode of his Grillin’ JR podcast, Ross singled out Wardlow and Powerhouse Hobbs as names that have the potential to be part of the foundation of AEW.
“Wardlow comes to my mind, quite frankly, and quickly. I think Wardlow is good. I think that Willie Hobbs has got a great upside in the future. He’s got a great look. Wonderful attitude. Those are two guys we just saw wrestle here a while back a week or so ago, with Wardlow winning the TNT Title back. I think both those guys have a chance to be the two of the big foundation pieces in AEW, if TK as he’s known, decides to go that way,” says Ross. “They’re both very good. They’re both young. They’re big, strong, athletic. I really enjoy working with both of those guys. There’s rarely a television that goes by, Conrad, that I don’t spend some time talking to both those guys. Not necessarily together, but where we have a little conversation about how things are going. They’ll ask me questions about the last match they had that they thought I might have seen, and I’ve pretty much seen them all. So I think those two guys are the likely candidates. Are they the only candidates? Probably not, but they’re at the top of the list.”

Wardlow recently recovered the TNT Championship after defeating Powerhouse Hobbs on a recent Dynamite. We will have to wait and see what happens next.
