He said that he was really proud of the match he had with Jake Hager the other week in front of no people because it was just kind of real physical, realistic and they beat the actual crap out of each other. It was kind of what they had to do.

Jon Moxley added that It’s not ideal for anybody to wrestle in front of empty arenas, but as long as everybody’s safe and so forth. He said that the whole world right now is going through really hard times and struggling and there’s a lot going on out there, so the best they ( Wrestling Industry) can do is just provide a slight distraction for a minute to make the audience happy.

Nobody’s been handed some script and nobody’s been told what they’re going to be or who they’re going to be which WWE usually does and said that fans can spot the difference. 

He also gave suggestions to the young and inexperienced wrestlers. He said that it takes some time in the beginning because when beginners first start out, they don’t know what they are doing, so it’s hard to have any confidence. So it’s about listening to smart veterans and people who have their best interests at heart and so forth at the beginning. Moxley said that once they get some experience and start branching into what specifically they are going to be, it’s about being unapologetic and just doing things the way that they feel is right to do Moxley said to look at The Young Bucks, who are the best tag team in the world. He said that they flouted every convention that’s been thrown at them over the years and so forth and now are just undeniably the best tag team in the world.

Jon Moxley said to take him as an example. He said that once he was stopped caring and stopped doing the things by unconventional means that he thinks are going to get him somewhere or whatever. He said that all of a sudden when people get an attitude like “screw it, let’s see what happens” and that's the time when things get into the hands. He advised everyone to be themselves. He said that he is not the only example. He said " It’s almost like once you stop caring and you just do whatever gets over, you just kind of go with it and don’t care about any criticisms, that’s all of a sudden when you find your groove, if that makes any sense. Play the music you want to play the way that you want to play it, you know?". It's really great advice from the champ.

Jon Moxley also reveals his quarantine life. He said that he got a pretty sweet deal, all things considered. He is just kind of hanging out in Vegas with Renee Young who is Moxley‘s favorite person to hang out with anyway. He said that he was pretty lucky to be stuck in the house with Renee Young. Renee is cooking his meals and they are just hanging out watching movies and training in their garage and backyard, hanging out with the dogs, and staying safe.

Moxley said that he can’t complain about his situation. He said that a lot of people out there have it a lot worse and his heart goes out to all those people. Hopefully, we come into some good times pretty soon, Moxley said. He said that we can't even think to live in a situation like this but we are.
