i feel like jason jordan has consistently produced the best segments in every show. sucks what happened to his physical career but it's extremely good that he can still partake
2023-04-09 19:47:04 +0000 UTCPoor Drew! I hope he’s okay health wise! Feels like every couple months he has some issue.

2023-04-09 17:40:25 +0000 UTCNo idea why the IWC and the 'E are so high on him. Very bland performer that's got a good look and great athleticism-- a really, really bad promo.

2023-04-09 02:30:26 +0000 UTCOh yeah for sure. Definitely going to be interesting once the sale is official and things get rolling. Feel bad for the talent that have to worry every time they go to work.
