Is Mox the longest reigning US champ for NJPW?

By a massive margin, but that's got an asterisk beside it.

Yeah but you have to imagine a lot of that is down to COVID, although it’s not like they took the first opportunity to get it off him so maybe they really would have let it ride like this the whole time.

Longer they keep it on him, the more often they can use him on Strong.

I feel like the fact he’s now showing up at GCW of all places shows that if Mox wants to work Strong he can work Strong, title or no title.

This is astounding. It's like all the way through they're saying "she's not recorded in a studio before", and she's saying "oh god, I'm so worried this will sound terrible". And then it does in fact sound terrible.

Strong is probably the best thing NJPW has going for it right now, which makes the lovely production value and the presence of Hikuleo that much more unfortunate.

I just rewatched it and it definitely fell apart when Shanna slapped her and Leyla hit her with a double leg takedown(after the match when Leyla went at her in the corner she was saying “don’t you ever slap me like that again.”)

Massive lol that Shanna decided to shoot on Leyla of all people. Like that's a match up where you are 100% guaranteed to catch an absolute asswhipping. Good on Turner for inserting himself at the end there too to keep anybody (Shanna) from really getting hurt.

Here's the elevation match, imo the weird and awkward pretty much from the beginning, and there was definitely some real anger on both sides by the end.

Yeah, if at any point their plans had been for that belt to not be on Mox, they would've found a way for it to not be on Mox. The reason they didn't strip him was because he's their guy. He likely would've just been racking up defenses this entire time.

Wild Thing w/ Crowd Status IMHO: Sucks Less, Still Not As Good

Nothing was worse in this context than the Troggs version though, so I'm glad they switched that up. Also I really don't know where they go with Mox from here. I feel like what I was dreading when he lost the title is happening BUT it's AEW so I trust them to not poo poo the bed more than I'd trust the other place.

Yes. I realize this wouldn't make sense in context but something like Kaz's Elite Hunter gimmick is pretty much exactly what I'd be doing with him if I was booking. It's a high profile program that makes use of his talents but also doesn't require a title. :shobon:

I loving love Mox and Eddie as a pairing a lot but the loss was pretty decisive, and if they're not going after the titles then IDK what they'd be doing, and most people seem to agree they'd like to see a "home grown" AEW team beating the Bucks for the titles (which is fair).

Any storyline, feud, mistake, or angle can be instantly and immediately fixed by giving Eddie a live mic for 5 min.

I've been involved in a number of cults, both as a leader and a follower.

You have more fun as a follower. But you make more money as a leader.



I assume they’ve just put Mox in a position where he can take some paternity leave without loving up other storylines too much and helping Kingston get some shine in the process.

Wild Thing being a really lovely theme is the only bad part of Moxley’s entire act right now, although Bitch AF is also pretty weak.

Everything else is great.

I hope they take Cezar as their muscle and there's a feud over it. Drake & Nemeth vs MOTY would probably be good.

Yeah that's the vibe I get too, which again makes perfect sense and is fine, I just don't know where to slot in Mox when he comes back!

Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

Mox and Eddie being buddies and dealing with poo poo (possibly just the Good Brothers, or maybe against Butcher and Blade given Eddie's history with them) is super fun and a great use of both of them.

It also might be cheesy but I'd love for Hangman to win the belt thanks to Dark Order, Eddie and Mox, Kaz, Best Friends, and Death Triangle all putting aside their differences for one night to beat down the Elite and prevent any kind of interference.

Wild Thing rules. I love how Mox made his entrance different than Onita's with his wild, chaotic energy even though they use the same theme.

As for what Mox should do now, I think the story they were telling in the match is that Eddie is clearly the weak link in the tag team, so something like Mox seconding Eddie in some singles matches would be a good program for him to work while he's mostly busy being a dad.

Can you expand on this? Because imo that was one of the greatest entrances of all time. Probably second only to Sandman at ONS 2005. You had the crowd losing their minds and singing along while Mox and Eddie went nuts.
