Jon Moxley spent years working as Dean Ambrose in WWE, and even though he managed to achieve big success during his time with the company he decided to jump ship to AEW in 2019.
Since his departure Moxley has openly discussed the things he didn’t like about working for WWE, and in his new book “Mox” the former WWE Champion made it clear that he thinks Vince McMahon has lost his magic.
“Dude, remember that one promo where Vince brought back the nWo, and he’s all, like, ‘I’m gonna kill it! I’m gonna kill MY CREATION!’ See what I’m saying? It makes perfect sense. What other explanation is there for this horses*** we’re putting on TV? I wondered. I finally decided he’d just lost the plot and was so insulated in his own world, so disconnected from reality, he would never recover creatively. He’s lost his magic, I decided, that Walt Disney magic that only Vince has, and when he dies, it’ll be gone forever.”
There’s been a lot of talk about who might take over when Vince McMahon eventually steps down, but Moxley indicated that he doesn’t have much faith in Triple H or Shane McMahon when it comes to running the company.
“Hunter [Triple H] was smart enough to hire half the indies and take Instagram selfies with them, but he ain’t got the magic. Shane would probably stick an M80 up his a** and light it if he thought that’s what fans wanted to see, but he ain’t got it either. Fortunately, though, when Vince is gone, that magic will live on in the hearts and minds of the fans forever.”
“Mox” is available now.
