Jon Moxley Revealed The Big Mistake He Made In His Career
The AEW Superstar Jon Moxley recently appeared as first special guest on Renee Paquette’s new “Oral Sessions” podcast and discussed about various topics including his wrestling career.
Jon Moxley has been wrestling almost from 16 years. On early of his career, Jon Moxley had some brutal death matches for Combat Zone Wrestling. During the podcast, Moxley said that he made a mistake by working all the time. Even hard works pays off, he admitted that you have work smart and not harder.
“The mistake I made earlier which was working all the time. Work ultimately pays off, but you have to work smarter and not harder. Doing things in training, increase mobility – I don’t have a problem taking a full rest day.”
He also further said that a full day rest is good for recovery. He had worked all the time in WWE and didn’t missed a day of work in years and he can feel physical window of his in-ring career. He also further stated that he wants to wrestle even he is 50, infront of his kids. So, in next two years he make the decision based on his physical condition.
“I have to work. I can’t sit around and do nothing. A rest day is good for recovery. I’m about to be 35. The career I had before this – as far as deathmatches and a lot of stupid stuff I did to my body – all the time in WWE, years of literally going through multiple tables every single night and driving a zillion miles. I haven’t missed a day of work in years. I can feel my physical window. Not that it’s closing, but I’m aware of it now. I want to keep it open and extend. I want to wrestle as long as I possibly can. I want to wrestle when I’m 50. I want to wrestle if we have kids and they can come to see me wrestle. Over the next year or two, I’ll kind of see where I’m at physically and make a decision.”
Jon Moxley also commented on traveling with The Shield for two years. He said thta they were on the road for first couple of years and be home for 36 hours. It was an adventure and had great time with Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins, added by Jon Moxley.
“Those first couple of years, me and The Shield were on the road every week for two years straight – be home for 36 hours. I wouldn’t even go home. I would just go to the next town because of going to [my home in] Vegas and turning right back around. I didn’t mind. It was an adventure back then. I was having a great time.” (H/T: WrestlingInc and Mehdy Labriny)
