AEW superstar Jon Moxley has offered a reaction to his wife's reaction to his Lights Out match at Full Gear.
While many fans thought it was a remarkable match, there are others who reckon it was too violent and too long. Mox's spouse, Renee Young, happens to be among the latter, having tweeted out her very short but scathing assessment on Twitter.
Moxley, who left WWE for AEW earlier this year, says his wife's reaction was "over-dramatic" given that such violence should be expected from time to time.
“She was over-dramatic. Come on, like - it comes with the territory, you know what I mean? You sign the contract, we’re together forever. And I will love you forever, but you’ve got to understand that if you’re one of my friends or loved ones, especially if you’re my wife, you’re going to deal with some moments where we things get a little cringy and weird, you know?" he told 101WKQX and WrestleZone.com in an interview.
"I tend to fly close to the flame sometimes. Not just in wrestling but just in general, in life. I’m a lot better now, than I was in my younger days, as far as, you know, making poor decisions.
"But yeah, I’m always going to be like - you’re going to have those moments, you know? That’s part of a marriage. I could roll my bike down a mountain tomorrow and break my neck, you know what I mean? I’m just, these things are constantly on the precipice of happening.”
As for his own take, Mox says he absolutely loved being part of such a match and was especially happy with the reactions from the crowd.
“I loved the whole thing. I had so much fun," he remarked. "I love the awkward tension in the air. I love the — you don’t get the reactions very much anymore. I mean, you get a lot of, ‘Oh, ah, ohhh!’ But it’s a whole different thing when [the reaction is], ‘Oh no no no no no! No, no, no no no oh God, oh!’ That’s so much more intense."
Over-Dramatic???
No one's going to hold Renee's being concerned against her. The violence and instruments involved in that match called for some real heart in terms of being a viewer and any wife would be worried while watching her husband put himself through such bloodsport.
Fortunately, though, she's not going to have to go through this every week. She will dread upcoming AEW PPVs, however.
