Jon Moxley was recently interviewed by Wade Keller of PWTorch. During the interview, he opened up on a wide variety of topics about leaving WWE.
One of the most interesting parts was when he spoke about Vince McMahon potentially stepping aside and being replaced by Triple H.
Here is what Moxley said about Vince (h/t to Sportskeeda for the quotes below)
He’s the guy who created wrestling. But I feel like now he’s the guy who is really holding his own company back. I have all the respect in the world for Vince because, I mean, nobody works harder, puts in more effort – And I have nothing but gratitude towards WWE, but Vince is supposed to be a genius.
I think in the ’80s, he was a genius. When he created Hulkamania. And took over all the territories. And foresaw cable television and all that. He was a genius. In 2019, I don’t think he knows what the **** is going on He needs to figure it out. Or step aside and let someone who knows what is going on do it.”
Moxley on Triple H potentially taking over WWE:
“I mean, who else is there? He’s clearly been preparing for this. When Vince isn’t there, he’s the guy you defer to. He’s got good ideas. His ideas are his ideas. But he’s a lot more cerebral. He’s not a super open collaborative. He thinks about stuff a lot.
I just think it’s a much better option. Between the two of them. I think he would be more open to giving people more freedom, but he’s smart and he sees things his way. So, if he sees you doing something and he envisions a better way, and a lot of times you’re like, “Oh, that’s even cooler.”
Some interesting comments from someone who played a major role in that company for several years.
