All Elite Wrestling held a panel at the New York Comic-Con last weekend and a number of stars were in attendance, including AEW World Champion Chris Jericho, Jon Moxley, Nyla Rose, Jungle Boy, Awesome Kong, and Brandi Rhodes.
During the event, Still Real To Us' Kyle Stevens caught up with Moxley to discuss a number of topics, including how WWE scripts actually work. One of the biggest issues he had with those was the fact that they were so over the top, he felt like the promises made in them didn't live up to what fans saw on screen (due to the PG nature of the product).
"I had to do that for years, when I had to do these stupid scripts," Moxley said. "I'd have to say stuff like, 'I'm going to eviscerate your skull at Hell In A Cell!' It's like, 'No, I'm not. I know I'm not. I know that there's not going to be any blood. I'm lying. I'm lying to the fans. I'm selling this violence that's just not going to happen.'"
Moxley went on to praise AEW and the fact that rather than sticking to the script, the company stars are given a lot more freedom to get their personalities across.
"We don't need writers or producers, or anything like that. We know what we are doing. You've got myself, Jericho, Kenny, Cody, The Bucks, PAC, and Spears. We're all at the top. If we wanted to be in WWE right now, we could, and make huge money. Any one of us. We're all actively choosing to do this, instead."
It remains to be seen how effective this approach is as we haven't really seen many promos in AEW thus far. What do you guys think? Share your thoughts below!
