This is not one match. This is not one promo. This is not luck.
This is a lifetime of hard work, and it's nowhere near over. Well deserved, @MadKing1981. https://t.co/sToQ3frxg8

This giving the fans what they want and signing the best talent in the world may be a controversial approach but it’s one I back 100%
Congratulations @MadKing1981 @AEWrestling @TonyKhan https://t.co/Mz7AfGi0yZ

Even if you take the scenic route, hard work pays off.

A great story in the world of wrestling. @MadKing1981 spent years learning and figuring out his craft…and now gets to apply it on @AEWonTNT.
