I feel compelled to say something about the massive success that Jon Moxley (formerly known as Dean Ambrose) is having in NJPW and AEW. He wrestled his first official match on June 29 for AEW and appears to be getting much more creative freedom and given the ability to improvise on the microphone more than WWE allowed him to do.
This is a character is much more reliant on mic skills as opposed to in-ring abilities, and WWE has a history of being perplexed when faced with the task of managing these characters because Vince McMahon likes to rely too much on micromanagement to allow these characters to improvise on the fly and truly be themselves in order to best get over with the WWE universe.
Not that this is a bad thing at all, I am simply writing down what I have observed and read over the years. Nonetheless, whether it’s with WWE or not, I’m extremely happy that my Cincinnati boy is finally getting the opportunity to be 100% himself.
