Carol Cassada has a message for those upset taking issue with the tone and tenor of the Jon Moxley interviews.

When Dean Ambrose left WWE and returned to the indies as Jon Moxley, we knew he was going to make a big splash. After making his debut at Double or Nothing where he attacked Chris Jericho and Kenny Omega, a reinvigorated Moxley made it clear that AEW was his new home. Moxley’s AEW debut will go down as an historic moment in wrestling history.

Aside from being an elite member of AEW, Jon Moxley is also staying busy with a string of indie matches. This week, he’ll have his first match in New Japan Pro-Wrestling when he fights Juice Robinson for the US title. But it’s not Moxley’s upcoming matches that have him the buzz of social media.

Last week, Moxley made the media rounds on Talk Is Jericho and later Wade Keller’s podcast to discuss his time in WWE. Moxley gave listeners a look into what life was like for him in WWE. Throughout his interviews, Moxley vented about his frustrations with Vince’s creative process. While Moxley has garnered support for speaking his mind, others have criticized the star. Most of the people criticizing Moxley are loyal WWE fans, who feel that the wrestler is ungrateful and shouldn’t bash the company that made him a star.

As Moxley stated in his interview with Chris Jericho, he’s grateful for the company because he met his wife Renee Young, gained his two best friends, and earned money to help provide for his mother.

However, Jon Moxley isn’t grateful for being made to look like an idiot in hokey segments, having all his ideas shot down, or having to deliver a promo where he says his friend deserves cancer. If you had to endure what Moxley did, you’d also find yourself mentally drained and physically ill to the point where you dreaded going into work.

At times Moxley may have came across negative in his interviews, especially when he discusses how Vince is ruining his own company and it’s time for Triple H to take over. Moxley has expressed the same sentiments as WWE fans, yet why is he being criticized for his opinion?

Maybe it’s because he’s viewed as a disgruntled ex-WWE employee? Or it could be that fans just don’t want to believe all the negativity happening within the company? Or it could be a combination of both.

With AEW now in the picture, WWE fans are more defensive than ever. I understand they want to see WWE get out of its slump and get back on top. But they shouldn’t ignore the fact that Vince and co have done some questionable stuff in the past. It’s because of Vince that the company is in a decline and unless something drastic changes, the company is going to continue towards a nosedive.

Moxley knows exactly how difficult life in WWE can be. He did nothing wrong in sharing his story, it was probably therapeutic for him to finally get all his pent up emotions out in the open Even though Moxley is working for AEW, he says that he has no hard feelings against WWE and wishes them the best, which is what everyone wants.

In the next WrestleMania Rewind, Chris King takes us back to WWE WrestleMania 21, and Rey Mysterio vs Eddie Guerrero in a battle of tag team champions!

Chris King is back with his third edition of WrestleMania Rewind. This week he’s bringing us back to some ‘Latino Heat.’ We’re rolling back to WrestleMania 21 where Eddie Guerrero faced longtime friend and rival Rey Mysterio.

This would be Guerrero’s last Mania match caused by his unfortunate death. Over on SmackDown, Mysterio and Guerrero would become the tag team champions at No Way Out where they defeated MNM.

Chavo Guerrero would get into the head of Latino Heat by making him believe Mysterio was trying one-up his tag team partner. Chavo went as far as to tell his uncle to stop using the Guerrero name.

Guerrero would finally give in to his nephew’s manipulation and went on to challenge Mysterio to a one-on-one match at WrestleMania 21. I For the first time in history, both tag team champions would face each other. Guerrero vs. Mysterio was the first match on the stacked card. Both partners threw everything at each other including the kitchen sink in a battle of one-up-manship. In an incredible high-octane match that saw both superstars delivering counter for counter, Mysterio pulled off the win with a surprise pin roll up.

A few months later, what once was a friendly battle turned into a nasty fight involving the custody of Mysterio’s real-life son Dominik Mysterio. After several torturous weeks, both former tag team champions would face off in a ladder match with the custody of Dominick on the line. I forgot how amazing this rivalry was and it’s definitely worth a watch. Sadly, we would lose Latino Heat in November of 2005. There will never be another Eddie Guerrero. Viva La Raza!

King’s WrestleMania Rewind: Stone Cold VS. Scott Hall (WrestleMania X8)

Chris King is back with another WrestleMania Rewind, looking at the NWO’s Scott Hall battling Stone Cold Steve Austin at WWE WrestleMania X8 from Toronto!

Chris King is back this week with another edition of WrestleMania Rewind, where he is rewatching all the past Mania matches and feuds. This week you’re in for a treat as we look back at ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin vs. Scott Hall at WrestleMania X8.

In late 2001, Vince McMahon bought out his competition WCW and acquired the rights to a plethora of talent including Booker T, Eddie Guerrero, Chris Benoit, and the iconic trio known as NWO. Hulk Hogan; Kevin Nash, and Scott Hall were hell raisers, and what better way to make a name for yourself than take out the two top superstars in the WWE The Rock, and Stone Cold?

The NWO cost Austin his chance at becoming the Undisputed Champion at No Way Out during his match with Chris Jericho. Adding insult to injury, the NWO spray-painted ‘The Texas Rattlesnake’ with their brand logo just like they did in WCW. As you can imagine, Austin was pissed and out for revenge against the group and primarily Scott Hall.

Hall would challenge Stone Cold to a match at WrestleMania 18. Both superstars beat the living hell out of each other leading up to this highly-anticipated match for who runs the WWE.

The glass broke and Stone Cold made his iconic entrance, and black and white NWO covered Halls’ entrance alongside Kevin Nash. With the odds stacked against ‘The Toughest S.O.B’ could Austin or NWO prove their dominance? Sadly the NWO broke up that very night when Hulk Hogan came to the aid of his adversary The Rock after their ‘iconic’ dream match. Stone Cold would ensure the victory with the Stunner. Hall would perform an Oscar-worthy sell over the finisher.

What a time to be a wrestling fan in the 2000s when nothing was impossible for WWE. Who would’ve thought WCW would go out of business and Hogan would make his long-awaited return to WWE?
