"Moxley wrestles like Kingston looks" is a perfect way of summing it up

[@nickhughes8179]

Hahahahahahahaha, that’s brilliantly brutal !!

[@QAZ-OMEN]

Kingston still looks better than Moxley's wrestling, maybe not better than Ambrose, but definitely better than Mox

[@matthewhostetter8974]

[@joegreene7619]

Danielson was playing the role of Simple Jack.

[@loolewis8212]

They way he wrestles with regard for safety, he might be the real Simple Jack soon enough if he keeps up his stupid American sTrOnG StYlE schtick

[@JamesJohnson-tr1gu]

It’s time for Brian and Jim to admit that Danielson is a basement Indy mark too

[@ApocalypticRenegade]

He seems to love wrestling even garbage matches, much more than anything else. Will probably retire soon and be back in the ring within 4 years. He's gonna end up like Flair or Funk and be doing this his entire damn life.

[@jrstocker3]

You can definitely make a case for that, but I think he gets it taken a bit easier on him because he is capable of being really damn good, and by all accounts he sounds like a really good guy, so he probably ends up getting a bit more of a pass on this stuff than he should...

[@enigmatic13465]

He is but it’s the fact that he can make a memorable feud and match when he’s not left to his own devices😭

[@vb2806]

He has always been. A guy who looks like that winning the world championship was a disgrace to the title. Hopefully WWE is Able to remove his legacy altogether

[@QAZ-OMEN]

He even has the neckbeard that he hides his embarrassment behind

[@williamthomas5215]

Shawn Michaels career was ended by the undertaker with a leaping tombstone. Moxley kicks out barely at two and then uses his finish and wins in less than 30 seconds following the tombstone.

[@mattlong81]

😂

[@Supervillain725]

Okada uses a Tombstone to set up the Rainmaker. Current wrestlers like to use older finishing moves as near falls or set up moves for something else.

[@StevenNotRichards]

@@Supervillain725 I think it's a Japanese thing. If you look at some 80s/90s joshi wrestling, they'd do multiple piledriver and tombstones and the opponents would kick out like they got a snapmare.

[@psychobluesfxt]

Jeff Cobb should have been WAY more relevant the last 3 years than he is right now.

[@BulletClub444Life]

I mean he's just a midcarder for NJPW and NJPW is the absolute drizzling shits in the 2020s.

[@psychobluesfxt]

@@BulletClub444Life That’s what I mean. He should have bet bigger on himself especially after the regime shift in WWE.

[@JaculaDudek]

Jeff Cobb could easily be hyped around like Jacob Fatu - how on earth is he barely relevant since ... Let say 3 years???

@@JaculaDudek Yes he could but he hasn’t thanks to being overlooked by both NJPW and AEW.

Right? And usually I feel sorry for talents who really take their work seriously and have a lot to offer. In this case, Moxley is as relevant as he deserves to be, and being made at least 10x more than he ought to be making.

[@matthewhostetter8974]

Moxley continues to prove that Vince is about him and he couldn't cut it. Moxley is a belligerent uneducated drunk with a bleeding fetish that embarrasses the business every time he's in the ring.

[@ChrisJericho22]

I enjoyed Jon Moxley in his initial run even as World champion but as time went by his in-ring game declined, he started to bleed for no reason in every match, he started doing all the garbage gimmick matches, his physique went down, he changed his theme song to one of the worst goofy theme. While Rollins and Roman are top draw and in important spots, Moxely is almost non-existent. Dean Ambrose still to this day have more brand value.

[@rodneykendall2022]

​@@ChrisJericho22sobriety harmed him more than helping

[@Bjaerke]

And the irony is while Mox has become completely meaningless he made the world title of another company more important than AEW's own world title.

[@thewrestlingoldhead]

The only explanation I can give for this match is: Bryan Danielson joined Team AEW and Mox moped, singing "Im all out of Love, im so lost without you!" And Danielson came back for a tag match.

[@dannybaum3874]

Until Jim mentioned New Jack I thought Danielson was drawn as one of the Nasty Boyz😂

[@jovanss2361]

Why are they a team, they do not compliment each other at all. Not a Mox fan but wouldn't the money be in them fighting each other

Maybe that’s the end goal. Have them turn on each other and set that up as an intense blood feud. Only problem is that I don’t buy them as a team 😂

[@benjaminkelln8597]

I liked Moxley when he was with WWE and I thought some of his earlier New Japan matches were pretty good, but it feels like it’s been a few years since I watched a decent match of his.

[@ButWhatIfItIs]

He was the shits back then too. Only his body was in better shape, he had hair, and also had the machine breastfeeding him (willingly or not) In AEW it really seems the guys just do exactly what they want. Mix certainly does. Back then you had more competent wrestlers to carry him, you had people shooting down his terrible ideas... What we see now is what would have become of Moxley had he not had all of these talented minds around him. He's the least everything of the Shield and yet he thinks he deserves the most.

[@loron340]

I thought I was alone when I had that theory. 2019-2021 Jon Moxley was pretty good but then as time went on, I feel he’s gotten lazy and relies way too much on outside brawling and bleeding. It’s very disappointing.

[@GhettoFabulousLorch]

When wrestlers are in NJPW they are not given the same degree of freedom as they are in AEW.

[@DynastyIcon]

it's been a few years since he was in a real company.. he's had maybe one good match as Jon Moxley, the other good matches he had was when he was Dean Ambrose

[@DynastyIcon]

​@@GhettoFabulousLorchyeah in AEW, you can do whatever you want.. in NJPW you get told what to do 💯 big difference for sure

[@rodneykendall2022]

[@antonlifer4449]

Had a fb ad from AEW on my phone earlier and Moxley was featured in it. I commented it's Everyones favorite plumber. I got a good amount of likes from it. Felt good about that.

[@mercilessrebel]

Tried to watch the KZbin clip of that match and couldn’t get through it 😭

[@riotd.r.8363]

AEW has the strangest relationships with piledrivers. Tony says how dangerous they are and yet everyone pops up from them like Road Warriors.

I watched dynamite yesterday and don't remember any of this. The perfect summation of AEW I guess 😂.

[@Jay-ek9fu]

I'm actually shocked Moxley isn't in the Anarchy Match instead of Darby Allin who's still dealing with a messed up foot and wearing a nose guard from the Bus. I never want to hear Tony say Safest Place Company in Wrestling ever again.

[@WyattHolliday]

I first realized Moxley was terrible when he had that trash in a cage match with Jericho.

You know an AEW show is bad when the first thing you hear after Excrement shouting 'It's Wednesday and you know what that means" Is the tune "MILD THING" and the visual of the ACE Plumber of AEW and his Diva's title. It's even sadder when Danielson still has to team with shitter, while also admitting he's neck is fucked up because of his match with OceanSpreay and being dropped on his head. Of course, Fletcher and the rest of the Don Phallus family are an afterthought and now Takeshita has to job to the ACE Plumber in an "Eliminator" match, he isn't even getting a title shot at the PPV.

[@poindexterflex1981]

You know, I haven't watched AEW since that first PPV because it just didn't appeal to me. I wasn't even watching WWE at that time. So the few times I've heard Corny and Brian reference Moxley coming out to 'Wild Thing' I assumed it was some new song with the same name or a remake of some sort. Ended up seeing a clip of him coming out and... yeah... it's the old song 'Wild Thing.' It does not work for Moxley at all. Not at all. What a weird choice.

[@tempestfennac9687]

It wouldn't be as bad if they didn't use such a wimpy cover (I agree about the song itself not fitting though).

[@totallykoolyeah]

Same theme from Sheen in Major League, the movie. Same level of professionalism

[@WeGotGaming845]

I’m a huge Moxley fan….he’s unwatchable for the last 2 years. He’s riding as a shell of the hungry kid doing promos on the streets I love. His promos are even less inspiring and only once ina blue does he have a nice promo even let alone a match. I don’t go back to watch any matches of his except one with Danielson (I usually rewatch Bryan’s matches) makes no sense Austin called him out and said he was resting on his laurels to his face and he said he’ll prove different. He’s got more to offer and Austin was spot on

[@StevenNotRichards]

I like Danielson, but he's always been his worst enemy. His RoH title run could be downright masturbatory (why would you go an hour with COLT CABANA), his insistence on headbutting the ringpost, working with a damaged eye, hiding concussions, refusal to stop doing the diving headbutt... I imagine in the short term he'll be ok, but I can see a Terry Funk-esque future awaiting him, in reverse. His mind will go before his body.

[@QAZ-OMEN]

Has JC heard Danielson potentially suffering another career ending injury ? He will prob have to be replaced in the AITA match next

[@matthewhostetter8974]

Right, Danielson wants to retire this year but admits he's got fucked up by OceanSpreay. So what does he do, he keeps having matches where he's dumped on his head, including a match with Great Value Khali. On top of every time he's been in a Football Fuckery match, he's gotten injured.

[@ButWhatIfItIs]

Honestly I do not care that he has no tan and looks terrible. It's the work. Honestly me and my friends worked the way he did on my trampoline when we'd shouted out moves aloud and just get up, never to be pinned... But we were stupid kids with no concept of professional wrestling or how it worked at the time. This man makes hundreds of thousands of dollars, all undeserved... And he still feels entitled to more money, more praise and admiration... I can't stand the guy. You can tell he'd be a complete waste of time talking to. I'd say it is a toss up imo between him and Brown Strongman for the two worst pushed wrestlers on national television today. (Yes, I am actually including the Bucks in that too! They are ignorant by choice too, but at least they can be forced to work well, seems like everyone just defers to Moxley and let's him bulldoze his terrible ideas into matches) Even if he worked a hardcore style that wasn't anything resembling his work... I could live with it but not love it. Some people used to compare him to Austin, to me he is more like a wish version of Sandman who thinks he is an improved version of Stone Cold. Imo he doesn't hold a candle to either one of them.
