Jon Moxley recently talked about a conversation he had had with Tony Khan regarding how he wanted things to be done, should he join the promotion. This was regarding going all out in hardcore matches.
In his four years thus far with the promotion, it is safe to assume that Mox has done all sorts of shenanigans. Most of the hardcore matches that have taken place have featured him. He has also captured multiple titles, and has taken on the best of the best the promotion has had to offer.
In an interview with Liam Crowley of ComicBook.com, Mox talked about the recent Texas Death Match. He then remembered one of his conversations with Tony Khan prior to his signing. He warned Khan that if he were to come in and be placed in a hardcore match, he would go all out, and for him, a mediocre performance was not on the cards.
"When it comes to matches like that, that's one small thing that we can do differently than anybody else in this s**t. That was one thing I remember, telling (AEW President) Tony [Khan] that when I first came in. 'If you're going to put me in one of these matches, be careful what you wish for, because I am not in the business of under-delivering.'"
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
Jon Moxley talked about how executing hardcore matches has been something the promotion has been able to do well. He then discussed how he felt it was important for them to always remember their capabilities, and what they do that sets them apart from other promotions. For him, this should be one of their main goals as a company.
AEW has been able to consistently deliver on that. I think it's very important for us to always remember where this started in the first place, which was the need in the industry for an alternative. We should always be different. We should always be thinking about what we can deliver that nobody else can. Otherwise, we're just another wrestling company, of which there have been a million.
