Jon Moxley has never been someone to not have some idea and direction. One of those ideas is he’d like to be able for his kids to watch him wrestle, and considering his wife Renee Paquette is pregnant with their first child, he’s got a way to go.
Thankfully, Moxley plans on wrestling until he’s 50.
The AEW World Champion was the first guest on his wife’s Oral Sessions podcast and she asked him how he planned on prolonging his wrestling career.
“A lot of times you have to work smarter, not harder. Doing things in training to try and increase mobility. I don’t have a problem taking a full rest day. I’m kind of a training addict where, even on a day off, I still end up running five miles for some reason because I feel like I have to work. I’m going to be 35 and there’s a lot of miles for 35. The career I had before this, a lot of deathmatches and stupid stuff I did to my body and regular wrestling and training, and all the time in WWE. Years of going through multiple tables every night and driving a bazillion miles every night and every plane and tour. I didn’t miss a day of work for years. I took one TV off in six years. If I kept on doing that at the same pace, I wouldn’t have lasted long. I could feel my physical window, not that it’s closing, I can feel the distance now. I want to keep it open and extend it and keep wrestling as long as I possibly can. I’d like to be 50 and wrestle. When we have kids, I’d like them to see me wrestle. Over the next year or two, I’ll see where I’m at physically and make a decision. The pandemic really changed the year and made it less busy, but I’ve been having super physical matches and getting to Jacksonville from Vegas and back is a bitch.”
The lack of live events and the choice to work outside AEW as he wishes will probably help Moxley lessen the wear and tear on his body, but it’s also seemingly inspired him to make his AEW matches that more physical. With an upcoming AEW World Title defense against Kenny Omega on December 2nd, Moxley will no doubt pull out all the stops to make it a great match.
