Moose Says His Career Went To The Next Level When He 'Stopped Being A F*cking Mark'

Moose has kept his television matches limited since becoming IMPACT World Champion as Bound for Glory, and that's the way he likes it.

Moose became the top star in IMPACT when he won the World Championship and has been involved in more promo segments and less matches since that time.

Speaking to Doc Gallows & Karl Anderson on Talk N Shop, Moose was asked why he feels he's become a bigger star in wrestling.

"I stopped being a fucking mark," he replied. "There was a point in wrestling where I just wanted to wrestle. For instance, I haven't wrestled on TV since October. Two years ago, I'd be mad about that. 'Why the fuck am I not wrestling?' I never looked at the bigger picture. I'm getting more over not fucking wrestling. That's the thing people don't realize; the fucking wrestling doesn't fucking matter. It's great if you can do it, but what matters is talking, being cool, looking like a star. That's what fucking matters. Making people want to see you. That's what fucking matters. When I stopped being a mark and being like, 'oh, I want to hit this move and do cool shit,' I had to get off that mindset."

Moose continued by saying, "When I get the call sheet on Thursday before the flight and I see I have to wrestle I'm like, 'Goddamnit.' It breaks my heart when I have to wrestle. I like not wrestling."

His comments were said with a laugh and got a laugh out of the Good Brothers.

Moose is scheduled to defend his IMPACT World Championship against Josh Alexander at IMPACT Rebellion.

Fightful has live coverage of IMPACT every Thursday beginning at 8 p.m. ET.
