10 Things We Learned From Jon Moxley On Talk Is Jericho
8. “Are You On Drugs?”
Again, much of the pod was about Moxley's approach to writing his book.
The man pinpointed Willie Nelson's scattered 2006 read 'The Tao Of Willie' as a major inspiration for his own writing style. In an honest moment, Mox revealed that he punched out the entire manuscript on Renee Paquette's MacBook - he struggled with that, because he's "not a computer guy".
One night/morning, he was out on the porch "slamming beers" and listening to music at 2.30am. Jon was trying to get himself into the same headspace he'd been 'back in the day', 'cause he realised how important that would be for some of the stories he was trying to tell.
Renee was worried when she found him like that. She came out and asked, "Are you on drugs?". Moxley had been stomping around, but he was just restless and trying to find a way to properly express himself in words that'd do each tale justice. He told Jericho that this process was enjoyable in a strange way.
