10 WWE Stars Who BURIED The Writers
10. Jon Moxley
At AEW Double Or Nothing, the debuting Jon Moxley tore through Chris Jericho and, climbing the ropes, expertly conveyed the vitality of his new home by breathing in the atmosphere and breathing out a silent 'MOTHERF*CKER'.
Moxley seemed to release his simmering frustrations in that wild, show-closing angle, but to underscore just how infuriating the WWE creative process is, he wasn't anywhere near done. On an instantly legendary Talk Is Jericho appearance this week, he released a further deluge of criticism, borrowing an over-sized shovel from WWE's prop department to cover the organisation in soil.
He recounted a typical day of his life in the bubble.
He awoke to read a message from a writer "he didn't know", who asked him to say unspeakably lame sh*t involving pooper scoopers and riding a unicycle backwards, and spent the remainder of the day, in an anxious panic, attempting to hide this copy from Vince McMahon's juvenile clutches. Moxley essentially framed this as a mad caper of sorts. He said he wanted to play a character indebted to Die Hard's John McClane; instead, behind the scenes, he played Mission Impossible's Ethan Hunt, employing risky stealth measures purely to avoid looking like a complete embarrassment. This work dread affected Moxley so badly that he started to feel physically sick every Monday morning.
He even told Vince this, and given his depiction of the COO's track record, of wildly misinterpreting the Dean Ambrose character and the man behind it, it's genuinely shocking that he wasn't repackaged as the New Droz.
