10 Most Pathetic Wrestling Insults Of All Time

7. No, Jon Moxley IS Better Than Dean Ambrose

Every now and then, a debate will surface over who was better: Dean Ambrose or Jon Moxley.

As these things tend to go, it usually happens when somebody posts something to the effect of "Man Mox is at the top of his game right now" - you know, a nice affirmation of his work from a supportive fan.

"Actually Dean Ambrose was better a**hole."

Was he?

Because Jon Moxley says things like "I am napalm death" and brags about leaving his opponents in gooey puddles of blood on the canvas, where Dean Ambrose wondered aloud what was "up" with Chris Jericho's "scarf, dude".

Also, it's not as if Mox himself thinks he was better suited to WWE. He loathed the end of his time there, it made him physically sick with embarrassment, and he didn't even entertain the idea of merely contacting WWE to leverage a better off with AEW.

That might have something to do with the fact that he was once scripted to refer to Seth Rollin as "Justin Bieber" on television once, which, f*cking hell.

Beyond just being a terrible insult that nobody who really despises a person would say to them, there was a vague air of toxic masculinity to it well beneath Jon Moxley.
