Maverick adds that Cardona doesn’t get the credit he deserves for completely changing the game for pro-wrestlers, claiming that most social media promos were a product of his early innovation.
Maverick writes, “Without THIS MAN your Twitter, Instagram, YouTube promo wouldn’t exist. Doesn’t get the credit he deserves for completely changing the way a person could connect with their fan base.”
