LIGHTNING LUKE!

He sounds like he will carry the religious mantle of Brooks going forward.

 

[SRATH]

When I watch the interview, I probably lean toward Conner sounding like Nolf with similar mannerisms. Matter of fact, absolute, terminator eyes scanning the room for any other threats.

he hasn't set a date, or publicly indicated that he's ready to end the suspense. They actually were just discussing him on FloWrestling Radio Live. Below is a snippet from that discussion that kind of indicates that they don't know where he's going (or when he'll make the decision).
