Jon Moxley SHOOTS On Vince McMahon And WWE Creative! 

Rollins: “If you’re gonna have a Scottish Psycho Path in your corner. Ehhhh!!...I’m gonna have a lunatic in mine!” Ambrose: “THEY RUIN EVERYTHING!!!”

Jon was a lot more civil than Punk, but his comments illustrates how frustrating it is to work in WWE.

Jon Moxley confirms what everyone has known since 2003....

That Michael Cole impression was spot on 😂

It's interesting how Jon was reiterating what everyone has been saying about the WWE for years, yet the apologist mock the people who are logical thinkers.

Russo: Brooooo its a work broooo

I couldn’t get over his Vince impression😅

I’ve listened to dozens and dozens of wrestling interviews/shoots/podcasts. And this episode of talk is Jericho has to be the best one since the CM Punk one with Colt Cabana.

I feel like WWE has become the new WCW. In terms of the creative process, the last 5 years have been pretty bad. I feel like since they got the money from the Saudi deal and Fox everything on Raw and Smackdown is on autopilot. It's a real shame to, because they have so many great wrestlers on their roster. By the way it's not too shocking to believe that Vince would use Roman's Leukemia to get cheap heel heat. Because I'm pretty sure he was the one who came up with the line for Randy Orton to say that Eddie Guerrero is in Hell. Vince has no shame, and he has a real sick sense of humor. Good for Jon, for standing up to Vince, and refusing to say those lines about his friend.

I found Jon's podcast with Jericho to be very similar to CM Punk's situation in terms of frustration with the company and their so called creative team, i found it very open and at times brutally honest. I will give mega props and big respect to Jon for staying to the bitter end and not walking out like CM Punk did even though i wouldn't have blamed him if he did. I would have walked out on the spot if Vince wanted me to go out on TV to say awful lines about Roman Reign's leukemia but i'm so glad he refused to as it would have been so distasteful. All i've got to say to Jon Moxley is thank you for all the great work you did with The Shield and as a singles star, i wish you the best of luck in AEW and i hope everything goes well for you. You truly deserve it.

Poor ec3 man he helped me yesterday by giving me good advice

This podcast gave me a hankering for some delicious Omaha Steaks~...with their rich and buttery ribeye and other quality steaks dating back to 1917. Do yourself a favor and go treat the whole family to some of the finest Filet Mignon at the most reasonable of prices... **is handed check and stuffs it into pocket**

It’s funny what Jason said it beginning when he said you know for every CM punk or John Moxley there might be three or four guys that see WWE differently and they think Vince McMahon is great. I got to thinking about the people who have said that lately and most of them are guys that had their best run in the attitude era but who just stayed around for a long time like Mark Henry or Kane or HBK. Those guys have a lot of leeway with the company and they already made their mark. Guys like Jon Moxley and CM punk broke in after the hay days were gone. So all of these guys got into WWE and never got a chance to become a pro wrestler. Not the way they wanted to. They never got to cut their own promos they never got to call their own matches. They went to work for a wrestling company that thinks they’re a fucking sitcom with writers.

28:00 Listening to this SoundByte again after many months, it's sad knowing what's happened to some of the WWE roster mentioned here, who were then speculated to be leaving at the ends of their contracts.

Jon Moxley is a perfect example of wrestlers not needing WWE to be successful in pro wrestling. Fast forward to AEW Full Gear and he along with Kenny Omega put on a modern day classic match that imho, was better than alot of matches he had in WWE.

Stone Cold Steve Austin himself would not be able to get over today. If you disagree, tell me why.

I love the thumbnail with Dean Ambrose in the front of the front, with Vince and a skull burning in the back, so badass!

I like how the old out of touch man is the one telling his employees the wrestlers no you don't know or understand your own character I do. Literally telling these people coming up with probably dozens on dozens of creative ideas like punk said as Moxley has said, I know you better than you know you. What the fuck? The saddest thing is vinces father was younger when he stepped down to allow his son to run with his vision. And yet Vince can't let go

Dean Ambrose wasn't "Must See" for me, but he had his moments. What really had me shaking my head was him losing to Bray Wyatt with a TV exploding in his face. That right there was the height of "Do wacky shit just because" that Vince had him stuck doing. That moment summed up Deans entire post-shield run. Goofy shit that did NOT need to happen. He was money! WWE Jerking him around wasn't as frustrating as how they did Ziggler for years, but looking back, they could have made Dean top guy at any point but he was a walking slapstick character for absolutely no reason. Not lack of talent, not inability to get over, just absolute lunacy imposed upon him by the boss.

WWE roster is way to big... big enough where they have no plans with some wrestlers not superstars WRESTLERS. Back to Joey styles promo cut...

Isn’t it ironic that the guys with the most talent and charisma are the ones who are always limiter from showing any of it?

ASUKA and SHINSUKE NAKAMURA need to go to AEW. I cannot stress how imperative it is for both of them to go to AEW. They are both suffering in WWE; two raw talented individuals who have so much to deliver in both divisions and are bonafide champs that are tough to match are shackled. I don't know who their manager is but that person has not done a good job and need to work super hard in getting them out of WWE and working with Kenny Omega in AEW.

Moxley was quite reasonable in his objections. He was analytical and fair. Mox was complimentary of many things in WWE. His frustration with WWE's backstage machinations and booking make complete sense. Moxley had no freedom and was constantly stymied. He played good soldier and left of his own accord. The creative frustration Moxley voiced has been mentioned before by other former WWE talent. Sure CM Punk is the best analogy, but there is a big difference. Punk's Colt Cabana interview made him look like an angry and bitter asshole who napalmed any bridge possible. I never want to see Punk in a ring again and I don't respect him at all. Moxley was an adult and did talk about the many friends he made in WWE, especially wife Renee Young. Moxley is grateful for his time in WWE, but he knew that he needed to leave. Moxley describes that he could not get out of bed in the morning and did not label it Depression. That's the easy way out. Moxley articulated himself well and I have total respect for his decision.

Vince is legitimately killing what made him his millions/billions......wrestling.

Let's be real here: Vince OWNS WWE. That's great, really it is. He'll never have to worry about being broke again ever in his lifetime. But what about everyone in his employ? Once he's gone: what are they going to do after he drives the company into the ground?

He was saying everything that guys like Meltzer say, but people think that Meltzer makes shit up. But because Prichard “was there” he’s to be believed. Bruce is good with stories, but when it comes down to possibly stepping on toes, Bruce will hide the truth.

Remember on the Monday night war dvd when Eddie Guerrero said all he wanted to do was wrestle and wcw made him not want to wrestle anymore? Dean felt the same because of wwe and vince. Ironic and sad. Wwe is literally becoming wcw

This may sound horrible, but a part of me wishes Ambrose would said that line about Roman that he didn't want to say, for the sake of WWE losing sponsors. We all know Vince loves money more than anything, and if they lose those major sponsors, THAT would be the wake-up call he desperately needs. Losing sponsors because of something he wrote and told one of his own talents to say live on national television will make him reevaluate his ways of running his show.

To sum up everything mox said in one sentence “ Vince is out of touch with everything”

This proves everything about Vince Mcmahon. He's not genius booker but an idiot man child. And the fact that he's would use Roman's actual leukaemia treatment just to mock the fans was disgusting and very disrespectful.

Don't forget your Omaha steaks! 😂

This has aged well lol

The only reason I don't think that Nov. 26th episode of Raw was the worst ever is because I thought that 4th of July episode was worse.

"He's injecting a lethal dose of poison"... Lol! Nice nWo reference from 2002...👍😁

"It's such good shit." 🤣🤣🤣

Looking back on this 3 years later and reflecting. Vince is now gone..

So many wrestlers trying to run from WWE. You hate to see it but love to see it all the same.

Wwe is written only for the person that creates it! Vince is far past his prime, should’ve stepped down after he made punk quit!

I’ve had a staff infection....it’s not fun bruh not at all.

Good piece Solomonster!

Here's another problem: the XFL is coming back next year and my friend said "Unlike WWE, how is Vince going bring in attendance?" Vince can't make up a number for a football game.

I still remember how they blew that entire fued with him and Brock...The match they had at Mania wasn't good at all...4/10 at the most.

I think the one thing that Vince McMahon forget is that his genius in the 90s and 80s didn’t come from him writing peoples promos. The way he beat WCW In the ratings wasn’t Vince McMahon riding promos or being this crazy micromanagement person. He had guys like Steve Austin, Shawn Michaels, The Rock, Triple H, Mick Foley and The New Age Outlaws Who could really be creative on their own, that could cut great wrestling promos that they came up with. Vince McMahon realized how great his talent was and he just let them loose. That’s how we got the most successful era in WWE history. I think WWE is so used to re-writing history on their DVDs and shit like that , that that they have really rich and their own history in their mind that all their success came from the brilliant mind of Vince McMahon and nobody else. Not true. There are most successful run was because he let the wrestlers do their thing. You think if he would’ve handed a script to Steve Austin or the undertaker back in 1999 that that shit would fly?

Pro Wrestling fans are treating Vince like football fans treated Al Davis. Live long enough & you will become the villain

Who would bolt for AEW? Agreed about Rusev, Shinsuke, IF they ruin Bray for a second time. Asuka and Sasha for the ladies, obviously.

Currently waiting for the Bray Wyatt interview.

Vince turning into the Mad King

FINALLY! Been waiting for your thoughts on this.

Sasha.... she’ll destroy vkm on Jericho’s podcast

8k? That's a lot of value for money. I'm a photographer and when I saw that I said "He must have paid 10k for this. Can't see them pulling it off for less."

As much as Vince is the problem, fans who will still defend creative after this interview are also the problem because there will be a portion of fans that will say that MOX was making it sound worse than it was and those fans are the reason it will continue

Vince has become what he hated....WCW....

The announced it so they can avoid a Scott Hall jumping to WCW situation, just so they could kill shock value if it happened that went to AEW.

That's why they don't produce top Superstars anymore. They hold everybody down. Specially those who have charisma like Moxley, Rusev, Cesaro and few others! Stone Cold or the Rock would have never been the legends they are in this modern era if they were treated this way!

Thats nothing new. A lot wrestlers made the same argument that Vince Mcmahon made poor decisions.

AEW needs the new Hart foundation

Great content Jason

*gets ready to go to the store; sees notification pop up* Dammit Solomonster! :-P

This makes me wonder if that last interview Cole did with The Shield before that last chapter network special where Dean went off on Cole was real. I tend to think it was because Reigns and Rollins reactions looked real. I mean what did Dean have to lose by going off script.

See, now I can't help but wonder, what in the world did they try to make him say that was worse than the cancer line?

You wanna know a HUGE name I could see leaving sometime? Roman Reigns. Vince's boy. Jon Moxley recently talked about the time Roman had to say Sufferin Succotash and Roman did NOT want to say it, he tried to fight it and get it removed, but couldn't. And he had to say it on TV and it sucked and they both knew it. Just that alone kind of paints a picture of what Roman has to deal with. I would argue he was one of the most hurt by Vince's booking because he was hated for YEARS by the fand because they found out he was "the guy", and it took a real life bout with Leukemia to win back any goodwill from the fans.

on an episode of martin where cole is fired from his job on martins tv show "word on the street", out of guilt, martin hires cole to be his assistant. charles barkley was supposed to be a guest on the show, but cole screws up and barkley bails on martin. so to replace the hole of a guest on the show, they have hustleman (tracy morgan) with a pet, ICEPICK, THE RAPPIN' CHIHUAHUA!!!!😂😂😂😂😂 funny episode.

14:14 As far as Goldberg goes, We had no idea what was going to come in less than a year after this podcast. I feel like Goldberg winning from the Fiend is the moment that finally broke me on WWE. I can't even bring myself to be angry at WWE anymore. I just feel nothing anymore. That's something for me to say considering how I used to watch it as a kid and then again for the last ten years.

"it's such good shit" lmao 😂

Vince McMahon: “It’s such good shit!” Take out the “good” part and you’re spot on. 😆

"THIS IS SUCH GOOD SHIT" ought to be a meme

Solomonster, when are you going to get your Omaha Steaks plug?

keep hearing how great this interview was. did he awkwardly pause like he did with steve austin though?

It seems like Vince doesn't want to change his creative process. He wants to pay his employees more money and he thinks that'll work. If AEW is successful, and things don't change in WWE within the next 5 years...Vince and WWE is in serious trouble. It may not even take that long.

You are totally right. Vince McMahon finds shit - and toilet humor in general - the funniest stuff in the world. Deep down he is so low-class.

Vince could very well live for another 10 to 20 years so it will be a very long time before someone new takes control and changes things up in this company Vince isn't give up the wwe to Triple H until the day he dies

This was the most cathartic interview I’ve ever heard. Moxley deserved better than the shit that Vince and creative gave him. Happy for Moxley’s rejuvenation for wrestling and his success in AEW.

I'm happy for dean...Jon Moxley he did what's best for him

Listening to this made me so hopeless but today after Vince has gone everything looks so rosy. Triple W at the helm!

Its like Eugene is in charge of WWE.

What I don't understand about this is why the wrestlers take most of the blame for saying and doing a lot of the things that Vince McMahon and the scriptwriters tell them to say and do when we are already aware of the fact that the WWE is scripted.

Interesting video

I actually think WWE will get better in the next year or two. I think this podcast was an NWO type moment. I know not to the same level to say the least lol, but if the wrestling world is focusing on something other WWE it will force them to get their shit together. Plus I don’t see HHH being one to be content, he has a legacy to build behind the scenes.

Mox definately dropped the bomb on creative.

How can i listen to the interview?

Where can i hear the interview??

He said what we've all been saying for years. He just put a face behind it. Now it can no longer be ignored. Even with Jericho it didn't have as much impact because he is trying to tip-toe on the border-line so that if he wants to go back to WWE someday he can. Dean was like "M-maaaan F that s**t. Threw up them dubs and was outta there.

I wish someone asked about him and Rollins being booed at TLC 2018

This just shows that Moxley has a heart & a creative mind and Really gives a damn about pro wrestling.

The current WWE product reminds me a lot of WCW in the late 90s/early 2000s. Wrestlers are starting to leave in droves. Ratings keep dropping lower and lower as the fans go with them. For all the great things McMahon has done for this business I don't think he realizes how much harm he is doing to his own company. He's never going to pass the reigns over to anyone else so the sad reality is realistically things are going to stay the same for at least the next 10 to 20 years.

29:04 solomonster called it….

My only problem with Moxley, is his gimmick of being a tough guy. Whatever bad ideas took place in WWE is to me their fault. But seeing him debut in AEW, his body language is so goofy looking. I think he thinks it's a "tough guy" thing but he just looks silly. Other than that, guy knows how to pop a crowd. I hope him and I hope especially AEW take off. I'm at least excited for actual pro wrestling, not the sports entertainment crap.

Vince is a real life Special Ed from Crank Yankers.

I do know that November episode you speak of, I remember the podcast about it. I don't doubt you that it is bad, I've not seen it, and have no interest in seeing it, but normally when you talk about how bad the product is, I'm normally here nodding along, because even though I stopped watching it two years ago, I still hear how bad it is. And hearing about how it's a show for one, I've said that for the longest time, as well as how he's lost his touch he once had. Now I don't know if Triple H taking over will improve it or not, but couldn't make it much worse.

Coming back to this one. Yeesh around 29 min talking about how Andrade and Russev will be better off in AEW. That aged poorly.

How much do y'all wanna bet that after that podcast, Vince was sitting somewhere going; "That son of a bitch! I had no idea there was a pooper scooper line! I can't believe we had such good shit and never got to use it!"

SNL "Tough to Watch" great line Wrestling, too, if not more so

I don’t think wwe can do the NDA agreement...coz the wrestlers will leave when their contract is up and no matter how tightly wwe weaves the NDA into the agreement it won’t hold coz the wrestler has left since their contract is up

Vince will drown his company to pre-Attitude Era's 90's if he has to. He doesn't want nobody else running it.

well, all of this stuff is finallycatching up with Vinny.

I feel that the WWE owes me. I was a child, running up my grandparents phone bill, calling their hotline. I collected all of their action figures and wrestling ring. Watched the cartoon. Ordered PPV's. Attended live events. Bought & subscribed to their magazine. Had their cable subscription before they had their network. Yes, I followed NWA, AWA, WCCW, UWF, ICW, the Portland and Memphis scene on occasions. I missed Florida and Georgia and Stampede, but I followed them through magazines. Even GLOW. I'm copper colored true American. Sure, I loved Boxing, Football, Basketball, Baseball and the Canadian in my blood, Hockey, as well. But, I only attended one Professional Boxing event. One minor league baseball game. & high school basketball and football game. Back to Wrestling. If the NWA stayed in the game, instead of WCW, we wouldn't have this conversation. The Four Horsemen, the Midnight Express, Rock n Roll Express, Nikita Koloff, Ron Simmons. Sting carried WCW, but he was UWF to me. That being said, NWA could've been top dog. I loved AWA, because they wrestled at the Showboat Hotel and Casino, in LV, but I didn't know them when they had the future WWE Hall of Famer's. WCCW, the Fabulous Freebirds, & Iceman King Parsons, my man. Why WWE, didn't ever pick him up is mind boggling. Everyone who does a super kick, thank the Gentleman Chris Adams. We'll see how this FOX deal goes. With the launch of the XFL, how could WWE survive? Reminds me of No Limit Records. Too many eggs in one nest. Russo maybe correct about WWE, being in bed with AEW. IMPACT isn't going anywhere it seems like. The little engine that could. ROH? Jay Lethal and the Briscoes are their Life Blood. MLW is making noise. Back to Russo's Theory: The Elite did a DX invasion angle on WWE over Cease and Desist tactics. Plus, the public doesn't know what went on with those contracts.

I'm pretty sure that same show is what caused me to watch only the NXT weekly shows and not even bother with Raw or Smackdown.

It's such good shit. Vince Mcmahon, 2018-2019

I knew Vince was out of touch. But jesus. The sooner Triple H takes over from him the better. Creative is so shit. Really needs fixing.

How come wwe didn't add time on his deal for all that time missed? Didn't that happen to Harper recently?
