Actually cool. Jon Moxley is a John Carpenter protagonist in his never say die persistence and, literally, an eye patch. His threats of violence A) sound cool and B) are substantiated in awesome matches that sent the wives of prominent wrestling journos reaching for the smelling salts. Most recently, he promised to rain down a "hailstorm of violence" on Brodie Lee in what was a tremendous badass babyface threat so effective that it pumped the blood ahead of a fairly mid World title programme. Moxley is a swaggering warlord self-effacing in the face of danger, a one-liner machine, and, in New Japan Pro Wrestling, he's even better. Swearing isn't automatically cool, but it is when Moxley refers to Zack Sabre, Jr. as a "human f*cking udon noodle". Moxley gets the wit, bravado and rhythms of the strong style standoff - it is the perfect stage for his expressive facial expressions, body language and tough guy schtick - which is rather a lot more compelling than the wacky line.

In WWE:

A heel who wasn't fond of the fans because they smell.
