They don’t make them quite like Jon Moxley anymore.
The former AEW World Champion recently spoke with Inside The Ropes where All Elite Wrestling’s resident madman discussed what his favorite parts about being a professional wrestler is.
“I usually feel like crap most of the day, every day. The best I ever feel is usually right after match, even if it was a very physically demanding match. My adrenaline is high, I’m loose, I’m on a high, I’m feeling good. When I walk into the back and I’m bleeding and sweating and everything and all busted up, that’s usually when I actually feel the best.”
Moxley would quickly flip the page and note that traveling was indeed his least favorite part about his job.
“When you’re doing it at a high level, yeah, the travel is definitely the hardest part. I used to say, like, and a lot of people say that you get paid to travel, the wrestling is the fun part. It’s the bonus part. Being in the ring for 15-20 minutes every night is your release.”
The former champion would go on to discuss how important mental and physical toughness is to the profession and what his advice would be for the younger generation trying to get their foot into the door of pro wrestling.
