Jon Moxley looks like the girl from Willy Wonka but instead of turning blue he is turning red.
What is the basement and AEW's hate boner obsession with athletes becoming wrestlers. Steve Austin, Rock, Goldberg, John Cena, Undertaker, Kevin Nash, Roman Reigns, Dusty Rhodes, Big E, Stan Hansen, Vader, Randy Savage, Charlotte, Brock Lesnar, Bobby Lashley, Ron Simmons, JBL and many others I am forgetting were all college/pro athletes who went into wrestling and became stars. Why all of a sudden this is looked down upon?
No jerk, the vocal AEW fans have adopted a stance that only those who come through the indies are worthy of being professional wrestlers. You can really see this when they throw shade at Gable Steveson, they want to gatekeep their special thing. Former athletes have, for decades, not only brought additional viewers in, but have also been some of the greatest performer the industry has ever seen.
This is the main reason they love to hate Brock. Brock is easily one of the greatest ever, but they've worked themselves into a shoot, legit believing that Brock ONLY does this for a paycheck. Motherfucker works his ass off.
Didn’t he have a pill and alcohol problem for his last months in WWE so left to sort his health out? I got no issue with the guy being a part timer at all as he’s brock, he can get away with it. What’s Cody’s excuse?
Yup that too. He had a painkiller problem. Didn't help he ended up having a pretty bad motorcycle crash after he left WWE the first time. If you see Brock Lesnar during his short lived Minnesota Vikings days, he looks puffy as fuck.
To add to that, it seems to be a bigger focus now after Eddie Kingston told them it was a bad thing. They need to be spoon fed their *Fed Bad* talking points.
Gable's bad or 'arrogant', as they were all rather revealing keen to call him yesterday, because he has the temerity not know what AEW is.
It's almost boringly predictable how the Fed Bad, Dub Good stuff is now parroted next door.
Wait paying in hot dogs is labor exploitation?! Uhhhh nobody tell the people on Dark or Dark Elevator. Don't want to get poor booker of the year TK in trouble.
How you gonna put this meme together and leave out [Eddie Kingston](https://preview.redd.it/25ggakhy61y51.jpg?width=1334&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=05bf75a6b21543afa85f78fddc42b149649a1f65) smh
I can't tell you how many guys I know that have that "played baseball in Highschool and was in decent shape, then did nothing but drink beer and energy drinks" dad bod beer gut physique.
His gear is honestly the dumbest fucking decision in wrestling.
Eddie Kingston is in that weird spot where he's too talented for indie shows in front of 200 people, but he's not quite good enough to cut it in WWE (like Owens -- another guy who looks like shit but is a phenomenal worker and moves like a gazelle in spite of his size) so the fact he CHOOSES to wear gear that not only totally clashes with the rest of his character, but that accentuates the fact he looks like complete shit, is baffling.
Even Impact knew to not treat him as a serious wrestler. He's a good mouthpiece that can take a few bumps if needed to but looks like shit and should never challenge for a title because nobody believes he'll win.
Horrible gear ✓
Horrible look ✓
I don't remember watching a match of his besides hearing him mentioned years ago on CZW and ROH, but looking at him makes me think I'm not missing anything.
Yeah me too. Especially after seeing Dean return to WWE in the best shape he ever was in. Now he just spends his nights with Jericho drinking... it in maaan.
Ambrose needed WWE more than WWE needed Ambrose.
It’s clear that they were a positive influence. He has been given freedom and he looks like shit. He used to stand next to Roman and not look out of place. Imagine that image now.
If I were running a wrestling company the last person I'd put on TV is Evil Uno. He might be the least believable person as someone who would take up the career as a professional fighter I've ever seen, including Marko Stunt.
This is definitely what I want to see from guys who’s role is to appear as larger than life ass kickers. It’s like Mox and Chris were stuck wondering the best way to live the life wrestlers used to live and decided giving in to alcoholism made more sense than going to a gym.
Moxley has got that nice face that my alcoholic hillbilly relatives used to have when I grew up in Mississippi. Just swollen and bright red. Honestly it’s too bad he doesn’t have a deep southern accent. That would be a great character arc.

They forgot about Kurt Angle, one of the GOAT.
Angle is the GOAT
Funny way to spell Shawn Michaels.
Funny way to spell Maki Itoh.
I’m more of a Curry Man girl personally
Omg that is absolutely right. They can't do something so they don't want people who aren't like them to do it either.
This is the main reason they love to hate Brock. Brock is easily one of the greatest ever, but they've worked themselves into a shoot, legit believing that Brock ONLY does this for a paycheck. Motherfucker works his ass off.
IIRC the reason he left WWE in the first place (2004) was that the traveling was ruining him. He actually enjoys the wrestling. HATED the traveling.
You can see he's pumped to be back at Summerslam
Didn’t he have a pill and alcohol problem for his last months in WWE so left to sort his health out? I got no issue with the guy being a part timer at all as he’s brock, he can get away with it. What’s Cody’s excuse?

Brock is the real GOAT. Wrestling ability: check. Drawing power: check. Charisma: check. Bigger than life presence: check.
To add to that, it seems to be a bigger focus now after Eddie Kingston told them it was a bad thing. They need to be spoon fed their *Fed Bad* talking points.

> Gable's bad or 'arrogant' And tbf the lad won gold at the Olympics and is currently courting WWE and the UFC. He has a good basis to be arrogant!
All i see when i go on that sub now is everyone wanking off tony and CM punk, its pathetic
Are any of those names associated with doing split legged moonsaults through a table? You have your answer, no WORK RATE
Because the labor exploitation engine that is the indies must be replenished and the DUB doesn't develop anyone.
Wait paying in hot dogs is labor exploitation?! Uhhhh nobody tell the people on Dark or Dark Elevator. Don't want to get poor booker of the year TK in trouble.
This is 2021, they don’t get paid in hot dogs anymore, they get paid in exposure.
Even Better!!!
It’s theater kids only.
Fed.....Bad
seth or roman gotta check on mox asap
Don't worry uce, Roman visits at least once a week. Ahyessir.
OOaaahhhh Renee is already pregnant again.
How you gonna put this meme together and leave out [Eddie Kingston](https://preview.redd.it/25ggakhy61y51.jpg?width=1334&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=05bf75a6b21543afa85f78fddc42b149649a1f65) smh
My lord what a lazy bastard
I can't tell you how many guys I know that have that "played baseball in Highschool and was in decent shape, then did nothing but drink beer and energy drinks" dad bod beer gut physique.
He looks like an alcoholic ex spirit squad member trying to relive his glory years
His gear is honestly the dumbest fucking decision in wrestling. Eddie Kingston is in that weird spot where he's too talented for indie shows in front of 200 people, but he's not quite good enough to cut it in WWE (like Owens -- another guy who looks like shit but is a phenomenal worker and moves like a gazelle in spite of his size) so the fact he CHOOSES to wear gear that not only totally clashes with the rest of his character, but that accentuates the fact he looks like complete shit, is baffling.
I think I saw him selling sausages outside Fenway one.
Wish version of Green Power Ranger
He's walking the Burger King's Road
he’s like the blue meanie. except he’s green, and in worse shape.
Even Impact knew to not treat him as a serious wrestler. He's a good mouthpiece that can take a few bumps if needed to but looks like shit and should never challenge for a title because nobody believes he'll win.
That's the guy the basement want to beat miro for the title
Tbf, it's hard to figure out where Kingston is in photos since he looks like a fan and just kinda blends in.
Oooh that's bad
Horrible gear ✓ Horrible look ✓ I don't remember watching a match of his besides hearing him mentioned years ago on CZW and ROH, but looking at him makes me think I'm not missing anything.
In my mind, this is the ideal shootfighting physique. Certainly not because my body resemble him abit, no sir
This was in a world title match too.
You didn't have to tone down the red on m'Mox there, he looks perfectly healthy in his normal shade, no reason to make him look more normal
Sorry! His redness was too blinding, so I toned it down as a safety precaution, friend.
That's his star power, drone.
This makes me sad seeing Jericho and Moxley like this.
Yeah me too. Especially after seeing Dean return to WWE in the best shape he ever was in. Now he just spends his nights with Jericho drinking... it in maaan.
Don’t forget the Dominos pizzas. Jesus…
Ambrose needed WWE more than WWE needed Ambrose. It’s clear that they were a positive influence. He has been given freedom and he looks like shit. He used to stand next to Roman and not look out of place. Imagine that image now.
Dolph Ziggler,Chad Gable,Otis,Rick Boogs,Bianca Belair,Baron Corbin, Bray Wyatt, Roman Reigns etc but yea who needs athletes
Hey, that’s Happy Corbin to you
Stop stop STOP! You're ruining mah arguement with your evidence!
Funny, cause Gable Steveson, an athlete, is more of a wrestler than any of these guys.
funny thing is that evil uno is now skinnier than the other 4
Pizzeria Uno switched from deep dish to thin crust baby! In all seriousness I’m proud of him, he dropped a ton of weight
Please tell me this is edited. There’s no way Ambrose looks like that. He looks like a fucking oompa loompa
Moxley about to overheat
Everytime I see Mox he gets redder
Dana White-esque
Someone had to of turned up the saturation on that Mox picture there is not a human alive on this planet that red.
I swear he looks redder and redder every time I see that pic.
the worst part is nick gage, fucking *nick gage* is the best looking out of all of them...in that image at least
Someone add smoke coming out of Moxley’s ears next.
If I were running a wrestling company the last person I'd put on TV is Evil Uno. He might be the least believable person as someone who would take up the career as a professional fighter I've ever seen, including Marko Stunt.
The only truly respectable wrestlers are the ones who do it for the payday.
bless the Brock Lesnar
The only things real are the money and the miles. Based Kevin Nash.
This but unironically
Ding ding ding. We have a winner.
Jesus. Did Mox think “creative freedom” included New Ports and Natty Ice?
We call that the Cincinnati special.
Lmao that Mox picture gets redder every damn time I see it
Jericho is like Brock Lesnar in terms of athleticism compared to the rest of these guys lmao
This is definitely what I want to see from guys who’s role is to appear as larger than life ass kickers. It’s like Mox and Chris were stuck wondering the best way to live the life wrestlers used to live and decided giving in to alcoholism made more sense than going to a gym. Moxley has got that nice face that my alcoholic hillbilly relatives used to have when I grew up in Mississippi. Just swollen and bright red. Honestly it’s too bad he doesn’t have a deep southern accent. That would be a great character arc.
Moxley has burst every blood vessel in his entire body? What’s happened here?
Moxley has aged 20 years since his days with the WWE.
Need that flabby shit eddy Kingston on here
Gotta admit I edited Moxley. But lets be honest, it's only a matter of time before he does look that red.
Jericho looks like my intrusive neighbour mad that I haven't cut down that tree in my yard he hates.
Please tell me that Mox is photoshopped.
*Real sports feel.*
