“I can’t believe they’re gonna make me leave, they’re gonna make me walk away...” Me when Jon’s Heel turn was being written as a joke after getting me excited about his future

[@TakersMissy]

Hey, I LOVED The Shield; I LOVED Dean Ambrose - one of the best guys in the business. But given Jon's past experience and the type of matches he was known for, man, I'm sure he, on his own, could've come up with a real good storyline. Instead, WWE's with its stupid so-called "Creative Team's" heel turn storyline just STUNK up the place. WWE's so dumb they don't realize that their best storytellers are right out there in the ring, especially the experienced ones from the indies like Moxley.

[@princeleo8803]

Derek Caler I think he is. Rollins kind of buried himself with those tweets back then and has only somewhat recovered. Plus this messiah gimmick he has going on is not well received at all. So even if he’s known in front of millions, he’s not known for having a good character as of late. Moxley’s run in AEW is well received among fans, especially hardcore old school wrestling fans. Rollins and Reigns was on that Sports Illustrated list too but Moxley was number 1

Even The Rock lamented how scripted things had become when he got heat from the brass for joking about Macho Man and Hulk Hogan cosplayers in the crowd during a live segment one time. Yes, The Rock got heat with brass. The reason there are no real stars in WWE anymore is because they won't allow them to do their own thing (well, in NXT they can, but not on Raw or Smackdown where it counts). We'll see if Trips can make stars out of the NXT roster now that they're on USA, but the ratings seem a little too low for that to happen right now.

[@ForeverDegenerate]

If memory serves, Jon working with Nia had nothing to do with ruining his career. I believe The Shield did something that pissed Vince off (don't remember what). And either Vince didn't really want to punish Seth or Roman because they're his "Golden Boys" or Jon stepped up and told Vince to punish him since he wasn't renewing his contract anyway. Either way, Jon leaving WWE gave Vince and WWE a way to punish The Shield without ACTUALLY punishing The Shield. If Jon had re-signed with WWE, I don't think Vince would have done that stupid mini-story.

[@rockstar6790]

When I start watching WWE again back in 2016, the only new wrestler that I like the most was Jon Moxley (when he was known as Dean Ambrose). All the other new wrestlers were so forgettable. I feel as though that WWE had no idea what to do with the wrestlers and it began to feel ridiculous. 1) Seth Rollins heel turn was so bad 2) That whole dog food gimmick with Baron Corbin and Roman Reigns was a joke 3) Rey Mysterio is treated like a punching bag, and I'm sick of him in a match against Andrade. (I feel so bad for him because I was a fan of him). 4) Bray Wyatt's gimmicks are confusing The only positive I could say about WWE, is that the entire WWE female roster is the best I have seen.

[@princeleo8803]

Booking matters a lot in how a professional wrestler looks. When Moxley was in WWE and had feuds with Styles and Joe, he was clearly out shined by their star power based on the way he was booked. Moxley in AEW looks like he can actually feud with Styles, Joe, McIntyre and look like a main eventer doing it.

[@51UM]

As a fan for many years I was done with Dean Ambrose in WWE after all that shit. Happy for him that everything is fine now.

The problem with wwe is that they have only tried pushing roman throughout the decade, it was good at the beginning but later it became boring plus reigns was no good at mic and wrestling too. Rollins made the right choice by listening and following triple h, its like he have made a deal with the devil. Dean was always the hardest one out of three, wwe couldn't recognise what he is truly capable of but here he is working hard again plus he is enjoying now. Unlike wwe, aew doesn't revovle around one guy.

[@ctlm]

I don’t know why WWE has to make everyone have a gimmick like why can’t they just be themselves? I mean WWE is interesting with the gimmick and stuff but c’mon, I now see what Jon/Dean means, and now I think of WWE as a whole different perspective.

GoldGravity you only named the ones that were considering the bigger group or the most popular (i forget the term-) What about the smaller people, who don’t get that many title shots? who constantly gets fucked over? obviously they didn’t care about how Jon would feel with his heel turn. I will give you the fact that they care about some wrestlers opinions, but only the ones they’re pushing.

[@alliel6745]

...did you even hear a word he said?he won't be back in wwe, thankfully. he "burned bridges" in ever going back.listen to aew debut promo, he's referring to wwe, he couldn't breathe or his njpw promo after winning us title, thanking them for his freedom, again, referring to wwe, no freedom. his passion would have died. plus, he was wanting to go back to czw (death match/ultraviolent) rather than wwe.

[@Rodshark75]

@@darrylwallace2428 Mick Foley said it best "You will never really be a star until you do something that is going to get you fired. If you pull it off and the crowd is behind you and into it, you're gold and they will exploit you for all they can and you'll be on top. If you fail, well then you go someplace else for a while until you make a name and your mark and they will be begging you to come back." If Moxley had done that... he might have been a bigger star in the WWE, or done all of this a lot sooner, but no, he was a good boy, backed down when he was being challenged and insulted and showed himself to be a milquetoast lacky for McMahon and lost pretty much all respect in the back, so... storylines about Roman's cancer and getting his butt kicked by Nia Jax is what awaited him. I am glad he is out of there, but he still hasn't won me over.

[@chrisritcheson8615]

At one time I viewed Mox as the Shield member with the most upside, since Reigns was still a million years away from being a strong mic man or ring general, and Rollins hadn't yet adjusted his style to something a little safer. Vince had other ideas, I guess.

[@Thepeopleschamp1983_]

Now that vince McMahon is gone from wwe, and triple h is in charge, he has been showing moments from the shield with him in it, and in aew tony khan made chris Jericho more of a world champion more than jon moxley, plus triple h says that he's all about storylines that makes sense, unlike vince McMahon and Kevin Dunn
