Those two got over that long ago

They got over it, but Jericho’s said it numerous times that they’ll never be friends or anything like that and isn’t really afraid of biting his tongue when it comes to speaking out.

“So I’m an idiot?”
“It’s you! You’re different heuheuheu”

I’m listening on spotify

Moxley also confirms my hatred for ruining crowd reactions...

“I’m going to have a lunatic in mine...”
“ladies and gentlemen, please welcome back...”

Just hit the f***ing music.

 

[Disclose]

i dont know what that is
(i mean... i dont have that?)

i guess ill wait and find it eventually on youtube or something.

edit: i got this i think.
onmy.fm

 

[JackSlater]

Jon is never going back lol.

****ing knew there was no way he was cool with those promos. This dude spent christmases with Roman and his family ffs. Get the **** outta here.

No wrestler should be counted out from returning, unless they die. If Bret Hart can return to the WWE from time to time then Moxley easily can too. If/when HHH is in charge that openness to returns might change on WWE's end though.

I have the same opinion and got roasted a bit for it awhile back. The argument was they need to announce stuff for ratings.

F that. I think long term doing it the other way will help ratings if you have surprises happen occasionally. FOMO.

Lol at his royalties comment.

I like that he didn’t want to put Renee in an awkward situation like Punk did AJ when he walked out.

I mean, he kinda put her in the awkward situation by doing the podcast and confirming the story that he lied to them about doing a film and led them on to believe he was just stepping away and the door was open for him to come back.

I don't disagree with what he did at all, but there's definitely gonna be some higher ups staring daggers at her now.

Omg that creative license exchange.

Clothespin on his nose. Ffs

I don’t think he would have done the podcast if he didn’t talk to Renee first. I mean, he prefaced all of it by saying that if things ever got weird they’d get into an RV, sell everything and just be with each other.

Renee would be taken by anyone if she ever left. ESPN, AEW, anyone would take her.

I'm sure he did, and I was about to say the same thing. She's in a better situation than he is, honestly, because her skills translate outside of wrestling. If she leaves WWE today she can get a job with ESPN/FS1/NBCSN tomorrow. Though I don't know that she'd do that as she obviously wouldn't be living in Vegas anymore.

Jon got paid way more than she did in WWE, though. The guy is set for life. He was the workhorse for three straight years, champ, and sold stupid merch. He’s set.

If wrestling evaporated one day, he could do movies or open up a school, or just ride his bike in the desert for the rest of his life.

I mean, they're married, so the money doesn't really matter lol.

Yes, divorce happens, but out of wrestling couples they seem to be the least, "Hollywood" of the current ones, and down to earth enough to be less likely to have those issues. Even if they do, she's the woman so he's f***ed.

 

[GKJ]

There was a lot of things to take from that. One of them being the night in LA that i mentioned. Not even so much the script-writing, but having to do 6 promos or whatever it was -- all of which had different writers. Why would you have a writer for EACH SEGMENT?

 

[M.C.G. 31]

“I’m so excited to come back to wrestling, but I’m not excited about coming back to WWE.”

 

[Paris in Flames]

Vince gonna start adding a no podcast ever clause to all contracts.

 

[GarbageGoal]

Renee should go to ESPN or NHL Network or FS1 something. She's got as much talent as any sideline princess out there.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

This dude was straight up getting anxiety and depression being there because of their writing and how awful the conditions are there, Jesus Christ.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Damn I love his mindset.

“What am I going to do with $10-million? My truck is paid off, my house is paid off, my mom’s house is paid off. What am I going to do? Buy a Maserati? I don’t live like that.”

 

[GKJ]

The 2 things that grabs me the most about the creative process from his perspective is how he talks about how they essentially take all the wrestling away from you. You don't do anything but do what they tell you to do - someone writes, someone puts the match together. All you're supposed to do is make it all look good.

Which is the next thing. Obviously a lot of the talent knows that that all sucks and they're probably hustling so hard back stage just to get things to a break-even point where instead of being good, it's just not as bad as it could've been. Except of course the few who excel with the scripting and a lot of that essentially comes down to performing for Vince.

And those games they started playing with the new contract offer and whatnot and Triple H supposedly being the one to contact...we've all heard that stuff before with CM Punk.

Eh you gave a common sense perspective. A lot (most?) of online discussion regarding wrestling is people repeating opinions they heard from someone wrestling related with a platform online. A lot of the discussion surrounding business in wrestling is short term thinking. If you're referring to Bryan's return, and I think you are, then of course you were right.

They take the art away from the artist.

And he mentioned this too, what you essentially have is an actor. The wrestlers just go out and be wrestlers on the house shows, which no one sees.
