DIRTY BASTARDS That Made Wrestling GROSS! ?

2. Jon Moxley

Jon Moxley has been good and bad for conversations around blood in equal measure, but probably not in the ways he knows or cares about. Not least because he doesn't waste his time on your thoughts.

His claret-spilling ways have become clichéd to such an extent that he's taken to coming up with ideas such as the one above to fill out his CV as the biggest money-drawing deathmatch wrestler ever. Moxley himself identified 2022 as the year he actually felt like he figured himself out, and suffering regular gashes has become normalised enough that becoming a unicorn via skewers was the latest way meme himself as the wildest man around.

The novelty is starting to wear a little thin, with the act starting to dry like the bloodstains on his face, but he's also the type of wrestling genius to spot something unique before everybody else does - if you're not yet slightly grossed out by Jon Moxley, he'll get you eventually.
