Jon Moxley is a big fan of All Elite Wrestling running house shows to help the young roster.
The Blackpool Combat Club’s Jon Moxley was a recent guest on The Sessions with Renee Paquette to discuss a wide variety of subjects. When asked about All Elite Wrestling running house shows now, Moxley said the first one, AEW House Rules, was a success that couldn’t have gone any better.
“We worked with Cass [Big Bill] and Lee Moriarty, another two guys with immense potential and just need experience in finding those extra little things that make you you. We’ll do more of those, and the whole point of that, I think people are probably are gonna compare.
“It’s not the same thing as we’re running in a big market with all our stars like WWE would, for instance. The whole point of this is to just have a place where guys can get reps. Like the idea that I heard initially was like, it’d be kind of like the FCW or NXT. Like in FCW, we wrestled in Fort Myers and Crystal Creek. All these little Florida towns on the weekends, there’s some guys that need that.
“Another idea that I had been trying to do is just working with other indy companies and sending guys there on their days off, you know, DEFY, Revolver, these places. And that helps a lot too for guys, just to give them more — wrestling on TV is totally different than not being on TV. That’s why I do it. I don’t do any of this because they pay me a bunch of money or anything. I do it because I want that extra practice to stay sharp to try things out.
“There’s stuff I do on an indy show that I made up on the spot on an indy show that I did on TV and pay-per-view. Where I was like, ah, you know, I like being out there. It’s kind of like just like a jam session if you’re a musician. Just pick up a guitar and start and see what happens. I need that. So that’s been kind of successful. It’s something I’ve been trying to implement, and with the house shows, if we start doing more of those, that’d be a good thing too.”
