Going on a journey is not about going back to where you started, its about progressing to levels you never been and reaching a pinnacle your past self could never dream of reaching. To never forget but to progress and NEVER LOOK BACK. Im sorry but the vast majority if people will not care about any of these promotions once Moxley leaves and they barely care now. Rampage is only pulling 400,000 views and Dynamite consistently has ratings below one million. Moxley is a massive mark for himself, he has shown this countless times. He is extremely deluded in how he sees the business and honestly thinks Nick Gage is a star. He also truly loves garbage wrestling to the point he cannot let it go. The old saying goes, You can take man out of czw but you cant take czw out of the man.

[@randomlyentertaining8287]

Tony Khan's a pretty smart man. He lets his wrestlers wrestle on other promotions because he wants those promotions to do good and grow off the star power of widely known wrestlers from a widely known promoiton (Let's be real, 99% of us had no idea "DEFY Wrestling" even existed except for those who live in the Seattle area till we saw this video) being on their shows so that hopefully, maybe one day, the Independents can become The Territories 2.0. Not only does that help professional wrestling as a industry by giving more variety but also gives AEW a large section of places to look for their own new talent so that they don't have to keep taking former WWE wrestlers and slowly become known for what TNA was, which was "the place old WWE wrestlers go after their prime". Well that and Tony's just a nice guy who doesn't want to control every aspect of his wrestlers' lives. 0:54 Bet that guy will one day encase that can with a label of "Moxley's Can" I'm guessing none of these people had any idea that Jon Moxley would show up in their little underground promotion lol
