The 9 most damaging rips from Jon Moxley and Chris Jericho on WWE

#2 "Why do I work here?" (20:50)

Why do I work here? I'm a professional wrestler who can tell stories and come up with promos, and I believe I have the ability to talk to people in the building, and I learned those skills years ago and wanted to bring them here to WWE, and you just want me to say your stupid lines. If you want somebody to read your stupid lines, hire an actor, because they'll probably do a better job of it than me. I'm not interested in doing it.

Look at these promos beneath the surface and you can see just how little the former Dean Ambrose cared at this point. He's just going through the motions, because that's the only thing he can do. Vince McMahon himself said he needed to read his lines verbatim.

Later on in the podcast, both Jon Moxley and Chris Jericho would hit on this theme in even more damaging ways.

There is indeed something behind the common criticism of WWE's promos. How many times have we heard that they don't sound like anything real people would say? How many times have we heard that they're robotic? Because they are. The wrestlers basically are programmed like robots.
