Smart Marks of Wrestling Podcast - Ep. 11 - Double or Nothing, Moxley Interview

The Smart Marks of Wrestling Podcast

In this week's episode of the Smart Marks of Wrestling Podcast, AEW's inaugural PPV is in the books and Jon Moxley tells all about his WWE exit while speaking with fellow AEW star Chris Jericho.

Episode 11 talks Double or Nothing, Jon Moxley's debut with AEW and his tell-all interview on Talk Is Jericho where he speaks openly about the final months of his stay in WWE. Moxley (formerly Dean Ambrose) doesn't mince words when describing the creative process in WWE, what he thinks of his former boss Vince McMahon and the exact moment he knew he was leaving the company. While entertaining, this interview doesn't shed a positive light on WWE.

He talks to Jericho for over an hour about how frustrated he was with the ideas being pitched to him, how much he had to fight to change things and the red tape that performers have to go through in WWE to not look like fools. The "WWE Machine" that is the infrastructure of the writing staff is what he believes is killing the company and he sends out a challenge to McMahon to improve the process.
