10 Wrestlers Who Couldn't Hide Their Anger At Doing A Job

7. Jon Moxley - AEW Full Gear 2022

It should be stated that there is no way of knowing with 100% certainty that the performers in this list were doing boo boo face.

It's a big accusation - that the wrestler is being unprofessional by giving the same away - and they are hardly going to admit it after the fact. Every entry here can only be inference, and a wrestler can give themselves a certain plausible deniability. They aren't doing boo boo face - they're just putting on a mean mug with which to intimidate their opponent.

Case in point - probably, you never can tell for sure - Jon Moxley at Full Gear 2022.

Now, Moxley is not one of the Rockers. He doesn't come out slapping hands with fans at the best of times. He looks like he's in a foul mood constantly, like he's ready to take it out on whichever hapless bastard signed up to be his opponent that night.

At Full Gear, he looked less pissed off and more...apathetic.

As he made his entrance to defend (and lose) the AEW World title to MJF, he first had a chat with William Regal. This looked nothing like the pre-fight walk-out that Mox mastered against Yuji Nagata and the Young Bucks in 2021. He might as well have asked Regal if he had scouted any decent coffee places for the morning on TripAdvisor.

He did perk up somewhat when entering the arena proper, but there was a tone of sarcasm to his body language - as if he'd have walked it, were it not for Regal's turn at the finish.
