Wow, Dean really packed on the pounds since leaving WWE lolo

If Mox ends up in AEW I'll be tentatively excited but I still hate how WWE has set an almost impossible to replicate standard for accessibility and affordability/bang for buck.

Also holy poo poo one of those things is not like the other. Eli Drake isn't offensively bad but he is CAW as all gently caress.

Truthfully I have decidedly mixed feelings about this leaning heavily towards nothing more than depression and general bad milieu. A lot of that has nothing to do with wrestling but I also am leaning towards "blah" on the whole him going back to deathmatches thing if that is in fact what he's doing. He deserves to be a major star and I'm just loving done. Dude is never going to come back to WWE because they're loving idiots who treated him like poo poo and he absolutely deserves the freedom he now has.

I'm sure you guys are loving this poo poo though and it's what Jon wants so what the gently caress ever.

Edit: To clarify some of y'all yuk it up about this kind of poo poo (I think, I doubt the sincerity of concern from people who hate WWE and continually treat me like a moron for not watching NJPW) but the fact is that I'm not okay and while wrestling poo poo is the least of my problems it's certainly salt in the wound and I really really wish it didn't suck so often right now.

I don't think you're a moron for watching the WWE, you seem to mostly enjoy it. I think the morons are the people who hatewatch it out of habit or whatever when there are alternatives available which are at the very least worth checking out to see if you get anything from them, especially as it's easier than ever to do so.

Also hope whatever bad stuff you are going through gets sorted, depression is hell and SSRIs have made my life considerably more bareable, if you're not on anything.

That said, I think Moxley going out and doing deathmatch poo poo because he likes deathmatch poo poo or whatever is kinda rad. A whole lot about the ways WWE operates seems contemptuous of wrestlers who actually enjoy wrestling and are fans of it and are hell bent on grinding that out of them. So if Moxley wants to do that because it's fun, I wish him well and will watch because a well worked deathmatch is definitely something I can enjoy.

Dean Ambrose was like a raccoon that you rescued when it was a baby, but it's an adult now and you're not legally allowed to be taking care of a raccoon to begin with. so you have to let the racoon go, even though it's going to live in a storm drain and eat garbage. You could keep Dean Ambrose in your house and feed him nice food and keep him safe, but he won't be happy there. he needs to be living in a storm drain and eating garbage to be happy.

I appreciate that. All of it. Don't get it twisted, I appreciate good natured recommendations. What I hate is when people approach it like some sort of religious conversion or something. I'm a little down on WWE right now but I still generally largely enjoy it.

And if it's what Mox wants, more power to him, but if that's truly the path he wants to go down (which to be fair we don't know) I genuinely can't follow. I don't enjoy that sorta thing.

Granted I have no idea for sure, but I don't see AEW being big on doing deathmatches and ultraviolent gory stuff. Maybe a bit more "color" in contrast with the more sanitized WWE style, stuff that's more reminiscent of the old-school feds like JCP-era NWA, but not the "slamming people through burning tables on top of a pile of light tubes and thumbtacks" kinda stuff. So if Mox does sign with AEW, I wouldn't worry that he's going back to doing those kind of things. I think he would rather have stories and characters that are a bit more realistic and intense, and not the "hokey poo poo" he had to do in WWE.

They signed Jimmy Havoc and he's boring as gently caress after about 5 minutes in the ring in any given match unless he's going through burning tables wrapped in barbed wire and light tubes, so maybe they will.

I mean, they definitely hired Jimmy Havoc, Joey Janela, Darby Allin, and now potentially Mox with some kind of alternative style in mind, and they’ve said they embrace all forms of wrestling. Not for TV I’d imagine, but a deathmatch here and there on PPV seems likely

Also based on what I’ve seen you really don’t wanna pay Jimmy Havoc for his wrestling ability

If Jon really goes back to death matches it feels like a good thing. He's doing what he wants and it'll probably raise the profile of some of the good death match guys out there. Janela's shows have been getting it out to wider audiences and a spring break with Jon Moxley would probably do really well.

Mox leaving a hell job that he hated to finally return to doing something he loves that is, hilariously enough, way less of a strain on his body than doing house shows 300 days a year is a thing to celebrate, friend.

yea, doing the deathmatch stuff once or twice a month would be bad cosmetically, but is probably a hell of a lot better on his body overall than working WWE 20 days a month.

he was easily the least interesting wrestler in Deathmatch Survivor this year. If you're boring in normal matches there's only so much the wacky poo poo can get you. The top deathmatch guys have the fundamentals down too (see: Masashi Takeda having one of the best matches of WM weekend in a grappling contest with Jonathan Gresham)

I mean, death matches in the WWE would at least be a fun spectacle. They bring in Jun Kasai for the death match version of the Cruiserweight Classic & parents have to explain to their kids why that man has so many scars all over his body. "He took a top rope power bomb onto a board of razorblades."

Fox will love it.
