Man night and day with the Shawn of today, really grateful for his mind and booking ability

[@Speedyreedy1218]

Watch his shoot from 2000. It's not new...

[@anthonyr.9605]

I feel like Shawn knows what he took from people back then and just want to clear his mind so he is doing his best to give. Advices, opportunity, time to improve, just give as long as it's something positive. Shawn is the first wrestler I saw when I came into the wrestling world, and has been my favorite since. Truly the GOAT of my mind 🧡

Swerve is great and HBK is awesome for really putting in the time to help young talent succeed

Swerve was like a slow burn for me, love him now

It is remarkable how important coaching is. Being able to recognize talent, cultivate it, and use it effectively so that talent can become more and more and more.

I'll go as far to say that Shawn is the real goat. Not just being one of the wrestlers of all time but the time and effort he's putting into the next generation must be applauded. That's the ultimate gift, guiding the youth to the next level and to keep the industry going.

[@Mclovinit8171]

I remember I sat front row at an indy show probably 7 years ago now, swerve opened that show and had nobody really at his table during the intermission. so I went up bought a shirt, got a picture and told him I loved the match and that one day hes gonna be someone bog and then he without charging me even offered to autograph the shirt for me saying he heard me heckling his opponent in the front row lol and that he appreciated that staying in character lol, He was a joy to meet and I still have that shirt. Its made me so happy to see how well hes done.

[@cornstarch1]

Awesome interaction story

[@alihandemiral7049]

swerve is doing really great in AEW right now. It is the perfect place for him. His texas deat match with the hangman is probably my match of the year.

That’s the type of booking wrestling needed someone that puts someone in a spot to succeed and not one they want that person to have it makes everyone on the roster feel important no matter what role they have.

Just from last night's match with Switchblade Jay White shows that Swerve is a true performer. That match was fire. 🔥 Great work. I can't even imagine when you peak.

[@AstroRose13]

Swerve needs to be AEW's first Black World Champion, he has the look, the moveset, the swagger, and he's getting cheered despite just doing a home invasion, he's got it all. If he doesn't win the continental classic, I'd have him start a run to be the next AEW World Champ (hopefully after Joe beats MJF at Worlds End)

[@LuisFigueroa-m7n]

HBK is the man so AEW should also be grateful that he worked with a lot of talents there and help mold them the stars they are! HBK has help many talents including Bryan Danielson, Brian Kendrick and a few other guys so in hindsight HBK signature is in so many hands!

[@CyberEJ]

Shawn is doing this and elevating performers to the next level. Imagine The Undertaker coaching young talent, too. Youd totally zip it and stand there with your mouth agape, listening attentively

[@jasoncoward-aintscared]

Say what you want about Shawn and his 90's attitude and the how he was a much better person when he returned. Including the rumors of the talent that got f*cked over because of him. His dedication to the current batch of wrestlers is admirable. But let's be honest, it doesn't take a genius to see the potential in Swerve. If he stays healthy, the sky is the limit. The very limit. He should be a champion now. And not a watered down AEW 25 champion company.

[@NinjaStroll]

You gotta feel for Shawn when all his students gets regularly fired even though they're miles ahead of everyone else on the roster

[@darylmangampo990]

Swerve deserves to get the Title in AEW he's been hot rigt now I hope he won the tournament

[@jonathanduran2921]

Crazy to know HBK father figuring all of these guys while I still think of him as the kid from the 90s.

This is the best Swerve. He is one of the few bright spots in AEW. Hopefully, he continues to build his character and makes a run in WWE in a few years.

[@robertotorres6391]

I keep saying AEW has the world champion. They can make a long run and carry the company for a while can go to Japan can go to different places around the world and make the AEW means something. He deserve it he is that good I don’t know why we keep looking the other way when this guy has all the talent in the world in the ring and outside ring all you have to do is just listen to him talk and look at his work in the ring swirl house

It's nice that HBK is putting in the work and championing guys in the back playing a double agent against Triple H while also still remaining his Friend. As long as HBK champions the Right guys instead of the most Vocal or Butt kissers and doesn't let his EGO try to bury Talent he's doing Great.
