So Jon walked out just because he thought someone might be friends with Tom? This whole "Jon moves to HW thing" is actually just annoying at this point. What has irritated me the most is the fact that Jon has committed to starting this narrative where he claims "Tom is a Nobody" Tom hasn't done anything. This is such Lame behavior from Jones... IMO I'm okay with Jon doing whatever he wants BUT the moment Jon tips over into this "I'm going to actively slander & discredit Tom Aspinall" That's when Jon takes things to an unacceptable place. Jon is sitting on this pedestal & mocking Tom's lack of belts, lack of champs he beat WHILE actively restricting him from being able to fight a champion?? Jon is claiming this fight would have happened IF Tom wasn't such an asshole.. Now since he was such an asshole he doesn't want to work with him? I don't think Tom could have been more respectful than he was throughout this entire thing that Jon has put him through. All of this is actually so ridiculous. I'm honestly really fed up with Jon. Can things just get back to actively evolving... Not this high school petty elitist mindset
