Jon Moxley is causing havoc in AEW.
Jon Moxley talks AEW
Recently, Jon Moxley alongside the rest of the Blackpool Combat Club have been causing chaos in AEW. No one is safe, and there’s hell to pay. Recently, Moxley chatted with Web Is Jericho writer and Youngstown Studio’s B.J. Lisko where he was asked about how far AEW has come as a company.
It’s been a pretty wild ride, as we knew it was gonna be. That was the really fun part about it. Man, do I want to jump on this raft and it’s going down the river and it’s gonna be going for a while. There’s still water in view. But very soon we’re gonna go around the corner. And there’s some dark looming trees in the future, and literally anything could be down this river. We have no idea. There could be a waterfall, there could be crocodiles. There could be jaguars. There could be rapids and rocks and whirlpools. There could be sea monsters, we have no idea what’s coming down the river.
Moxley continued on about a early conversation he had with Chris Jericho.
That was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I remember talking to Jericho at the very beginning and saying ‘This is so much fun, cause it’s like Lewis and Clark going west, because we have absolutely no idea what’s coming. It might be wild. It might be great. It might be terrible. It might be something in-between. It’ll probably be a lot of both, we just have no idea.’
He went on to compare AEW with his 3-year old daughter.
When you look at it now, it’s still a super young company, Wrestling five years can see like a really long time, but as far as an organization or a successful company, it’s extremely young. It’s still a baby. My daughter is 3-years old. 3 years can seem like a long time if you look at it through one lens. If you look at it through a different lens, she’s a 3-year-old, and she’s barely existed yet. AEW is still basically a toddler. It’s wide open to mold it into whatever we want. There are no rules.
Much like my 3-year-old daughter, she has got a whole person to grow into. And AEW is wide open. It’s still a piece of clay. There’s been a couple dents in it. There’s a couple finger prints in it. It’s taken on a certain shape, but it’s still just a lump of clay, which is a very exciting thing. We can turn it into whatever we want.
Moxley’s current concern is not about AEW now but rather the future of the company.
Not really concerned about what it is right now. I’m concerned what it could be 5 years from now or 10 years from now or 20 years from now. Pro wrestling, the great thing about it, is it’s always changing, always growing and always evolving. If you don’t keep up with it, and you’re not constantly learning, then you get left behind. Some of the smartest people in the business at one time, who thought they knew everything, stopped learning. And 10 years later, 20 years later, they’re so far behind, they’ll never catch up.
