Yo, what's going on, Busted Open Nation? And thanks for tuning in to another edition of the Busted Open Podcast. Today, the Fat and the Furious returns talking AEW's world's end. More specifically, Babyface John Moxley, the rah-rah speech? Putting over the entire company? Who is this guy? Me and Tommy will break it down. Also, risk versus reward. William Regal sent out a tweet to the entire wrestling business talking about some of these unnecessary moves going on today. Nobody can break it down better than me and the innovator of violence, Tommy Dreamer. We are the Fat and the Furious on the Bust It Open Podcast. Turn it up. This is the Busted Open Podcast. Let's bring it back to AEW World's End. John Moxley.
John Moxley, the leader of the Death Riders. You in some way, shape, or form remind me of the black widows. Death Riders. No pop on the Black Widows? Okay, at least Okay. All right. We're the black widows. We're feared throughout the land. Um Moxley wins the Continental Classic in his second match of the night, defeating Okada. Picks up the microphone. cuts the most uber baby face promo of all time. If I was the booker and I said John After your match. Give me everything you got and cut the best babyface promo you possibly can, putting over everybody in this tournament and this entire company and the fans and everything that comes with it. And he did that. And he came back through the curtain. As me and you have experience in our careers, I would be the first one on the other side of that curtain, waiting for him to hug him and kiss him on his mouth.
Because that's exactly what the moment needed. Listening to the raspiness of his voice, the passion in his tone, him being out of breath a l a little bit reminded me of And except for my kid being born, this is the greatest night in the history of my life. Yo, Adrian, I did it, we did it. Like, I'm getting goosebumps right now. That was a great promo by John Moxley. I couldn't tell you a thing about the match. Who gives a shit about the match? Yeah, he won. Good job. But that promo. Is really what stood out to me.
Uh he left it all on the wheel.
But where did it come from? For the longest time I You've been telling me That a champion the world heavyweight championship doesn't matter. Nobody's good enough to win it whatever you were saying, you didn't even show the belt. You were anti AEW. You go on a little bit of a losing streak. Your guys, your gal stays next to your side, and all of a sudden this promo out of nowhere. And all of the members of the Death Riders are just sitting there listening. To me, as I said earlier in the show, it felt forced. Great promo. Forced timing. Now I do think. That there is light at the end of this tunnel, but I'd like you to give your take on it.
Uh well as we always say, the follow up will be key for this. Uh his past is his past where this light that he's gone through and John's always an excellent promo, right? Um for him During this he's like, you know, if you also remember like the whole you tapped out 'cause he's tapped a bunch of times.
How did Jon Moxley’s Continental Classic victory and promo impact the show?
But then during the course of the Continental Classic, his kind of like my back's been against the wall because he's lost some matches. He's got he runs the gambit, he wins the whole thing. I think that is per like the Continental Classic was his vision all along for what he felt AEW should be this great wrestling product giving you great wrestling matches. And that's what the Continental Classic was, and like where we didn't understand his vision, uh Brian Danielson, um basically like when even when he was in the group, like I see your vision, which is like we want to be the best pro wrestlers, right? So I got all that and I think Same thing, like you wave this flag and you're now like if there's a shift for you
uh a paradigm shift it it was this promo and now come out and be like the good guy and still do your whole thing because John of all people out of this classic really got the most out of it in the sense of not because he won you saw so many different sides of his ability to yes he was your main inventor for a long time but like he went out there
