Tony Khan praises ‘brilliant’ AEW star Jon Moxley
Jon Moxley is a hugely valuable presence in AEW both in the ring and behind the scenes.
During an appearance on The Masked Man Show ahead of AEW Dynasty, Tony Khan named Moxley as the promotion’s “ultimate snap count guy” — someone who comes to every show and is eager to wrestle. Khan said Moxley is always willing to help out other talent backstage and give them advice.”
“Mox is definitely the ultimate snap count guy. Mox is at every show, he always wants to wrestle. He’s so awesome,” Khan said. “He’s such a great leader. After Mox wrestled Anthony Bowens, the advice he was giving him after the match for his future. And then, we just shot for this weekend, Anthony Bowens vs. Rush, that’s going to be a great match on [Collision] Saturday. This was again right after Anthony Bowens came through the curtain. And that’s not even one of his Death Riders. Like, the advice he gives to his Death Riders and his proteges is so brilliant. This isn’t even one of his students. It’s just him trying to help a guy he wrestled and give him insights. I’m listening to Mox’s insights, and he’s so brilliant.
“I still think he wrote the greatest wrestling book anybody’s ever written. I think it’s just the best book, the ‘Mox’ book, it’s incredible. The things that come from his mind, they’re amazing. And his physical output is amazing.”
Khan also listed Orange Cassidy and Toni Storm as people who always want to be involved, along with praising dual-contrcted CMLL stars like Mistico who work in both Mexico and the United States.
Moxley is a four-time AEW World Champion. He now holds the Continental title, which he will put on the line against Will Ospreay at Dynasty this Sunday. The pay-per-view is being held at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
