Shit. You never know what battles someone is facing behind closed doors, but there were some pretty obvious physical signs the last few months (alcohol bloat).
Godspeed and good luck, Mox. |

Damn.... he could have done us the courtesy of beating Orange Cassidy to a bloody pulp beforehand. How selfish.

I don’t wanna see replacements. Just give the other guy a bye.
Wish Moxley the best of luck. Good for him for admitting he’s got a problem and seeking help. |

Yeah Mox has definitely come off "alcohol filled" in recent weeks. Sucks that we are probably gonna have OC vs Danielson at the PPV instead of Mox.

Remember all those Rhodes to the Top commercials where Brandi was talking to Mox and he was talking about being hung over? That doesn't look good in hindsight that company executives not only thought that needed to be in the promos, but that they just ignored it.

Mox is a famously private person, so I give extra props to him for going public. Asking for help is the hardest thing in the world.

That Mox was due to be on PPV in a big match with someone he feels is the greatest wrestler of all time, and still felt supported enough to make this decision instead of being pressured to push through the demons is a great sign that AEW has their priorities in order.

Some people aren’t good at spelling names. I know people who get the wrong name typed back when they sign off in professional emails.
Sad about Mox. Addiction is shit. Good on him for getting help. It must be pretty serious if he can’t even make it through to Full Gear. I wonder what this could potentially mean for his career. If bumping and travelling and all that is one of the primary factors in him using alcohol to cope, he might just call it a day and enjoy his money with his family. |

It could just as easily be the pressure of being a new dad. That’s a paradigm shift (pun intended) that can be hard to deal with.

I’m one of numerous dads I know that stifled existentially when my kid was born because babies are super dependent on mom and the dad is just kinda there at first.

Yeah there’s serious levels to it, man. The sleepless nights/broken sleep is a big one that can easily lead to having to go find a coping mechanism. The realisation that this little person is now depending on you. Having to go out to work when all you want to do is stay home with your new family. Trying to balance all of your new responsibilities. It’s a real life change. I can imagine Mox was probably already drinking heavily - he seems like the type to have a bit of an addictive personality - and becoming a parent was maybe tipped the scales.

ANd it hits SO fucking fast.
The first few nights with my first were insane. The slightest little tiny noise and I would leap outta bed like a madman. If you have some demons prior to fatherhood, I would fully expect those to ramp up a bit at first. I couldn't imagine being a father "on the road". I would feel "guilt" and it would fucking eat me alive, even though I'm "providing" by doing that. But much like the Hero on RAW in TX, my dad left me when I was 2 years old (lasted a wee bit longer). |

Amanda Huber has also jumped on Kalisto for misspelling Jon Huber’s name. A bunch of cunts in that company, honestly.

Just to further demonstrate the wonky booking and silly priorities of this company, Christian Cage vs. Adam Cole and The Young Bucks vs. Jungle Boy & Luchasaurus have now been combined into one match. The sensible booking would have been to have Cole beat Christian and Jurassic Express beat The Bucks. But now you’ve got a babyface single that shouldn’t win on the side of the babyface team that should go over. It’s just all about cramming guys in and getting a “good match” out.

Who books a good finish anymore? Now everything ends flat with the fifth finisher in the ring, or a roll-up or a weapon shot. What about finishes that would tell a story and make you want to see what happened next?
Just a random thing about modern booking that pisses me off, lol. |

The amount of non-finishes is what initially started to turn me off from WWE. I understand fucked up finishes which can tell stories....... but it became so prevalent, that two guys would throw on an absolute BANGER just for some stupid fuckery to end the match.

I didn't mind the 6-man booking it's the falls count anywhere stipulation next to a street fight tag match on the card that had me raising my eyebrow.
