Jon Moxley was recently interviewed by Kevin Kellam of 101WKQX. During the interview, he spoke about his violent match against Kenny Omega at AEW Full Gear.
Moxley was asked about Renee Young’s reaction to the match. Renee was Tweeting during it and seemed to be very worried about her husband.
Here is what Moxley said about Renee’s reaction to the match (h/t to Wrestling INC for the quote below):
“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 cringey and weird, you know? I tend to fly close to the flame sometimes. Not just in wrestling, in general in life. I make… I’m a lot better now, than I was in my younger days, as far as making poor decisions.
But yeah… I’m always going to be like, uhh… You’re going to have those moments, you know? That’s part of a marriage, you know? I could roll my bike down a mountain tomorrow and break my neck, you know what I mean? These things are constantly on the precipice of happening.”
Moxley also spoke more in-depth about his match against Omega:
“I loved the whole thing. I had so much fun. I love the awkward tension in the air, I love those… you don’t get the reactions very much anymore, you get a lot of, ‘Oh, ah, ahhh…’ But it’s a whole different thing when it’s, ‘Oh no no no, no no no oooh.’ That’s so much more intense. That’s… it’s cool, man. Yeah, a totally different sauce. I knew there were going to be a lot of people that were going to be like, that’s not their [cup of tea]. Some people are just grossed out… I’ve never been offended or had a problem with anything I’ve watched in wrestling. I’ve never went, ‘Ooh I can’t watch that.’ And I’ve seen some gross stuff, I’ve seen some horrifying stuff, I’ve seen some stuff where I’m like, ‘Oooh, God, even I’m grossed out by that but that’s cool. I wish I would’ve thought of it.’ So, if you don’t have the stomach for that level of gratuity or whatever, then I’m not offended by it. We painted the painted we wanted to paint, exactly as we intended, but not everybody’s going to want to have that painting hanging in their living room. It might make some people uncomfortable. I was thrilled with the whole thing.”
