Jon Moxley reflects on his unique role at AEW WrestleDream.
Jon Moxley provided color commentary over AEW WrestleDream matches that featured other members of the Blackpool Combat Club. While the color of his commentary was definitely a little blue, and despite being fined for the use of colorful language, Moxley says he had a good time behind the headset on October 1.
Speaking with Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated, Moxley admitted that being behind the headset is tougher than it looks.
“It was pretty fun,” said Moxley. “It’s actually a lot harder than you think. I remember doing it once or twice in WWE–there’s guys on the headset, counting down, camera shots, video packages, and you don’t want to talk while anyone else is talking. There is a lot of traffic to navigate. Hopefully, I didn’t make the other three guys’ lives more difficult.”
MOX also admitted that he might be a little underqualified to be behind the headset at a pay-per-view, but he's kind of made a career out of being underqualified and making the most of his opportunities.
“I’ve been paid to star in a movie, and I’m not a real actor,” said Moxley, revealing his sharp-but-dry sense of humor. “I got paid to write a book and I’m not a real writer. I’m barely a real wrestler. So this is another thing that someone paid me to do that I am completely unqualified to do. I don’t know how I keep getting so lucky.”
Moxley will return to action for AEW on AEW Dynamite: Title Tuesday, looking to recapture the AEW International Title from Rey Fenix. Learn more here.
