Most friendships are mutually beneficial to both parties. Tom says his friendship with the Von Erichs only benefitted them. It was his war with Contra and he brought the Von Erichs in. The Von Erichs made it all about themselves when it should be about him.

Tom is asked about his plans in MLW. Tom refuses to answer the question and tell people his plans. He has been looked over for opportunities. He could reform Team Filthy. He could do whatever he wants. There is nothing that he cannot do right now.
