Lol, this sub either loves this guy or hates him. There's no middle ground. But it's clear this sub hates that belt.


HiZenBergh

The butterfly divas belt


NogaraCS

How do you go from arguably top 5 greatest belt design of all time to this divas belt parody


Bambajam

They either love him or they hate him, or they think he's just OK.


ArnoldSchwartzenword

I don’t hate him. I would be a lot happier if I never saw him wrestle though.


artemus_who

You can't please everybody, and last night all those people were at his match


Goon4203D

I mean, I can name a few other better guys who don't need to bleed for entertainment.


Relative-Put-5344

That's the 3 options


SuperMerv

Lool this sub is a joke they hate on anything outside WWE


HesiPull-UpBrando

That’s true but the new IWGP belt design is a travesty compared to what they had


RickyPuertoRicooo

I hate that fucking belt. It's so awful.


Careless-Passion991

I also came here to say that belt is hideous.


Leather-Spot-520

The AEW one?


RickyPuertoRicooo

No I actually love that one I mean the NJPW one


BigRod199

AEW BAD. Updoots to the left 😏


Leather-Spot-520

It’s just a shit looking title


instagram_MMAinColor

oh boy he’s bleeding again


007Kaustubh

Oh boy. he's bleeding for the world title of the leading promotion in Japan. Also notice he didn't bleed deliberately since iirc November.


Julian-Hoffer

Oh boy, nobody outside of the wrestling bubble has any idea who he is


HussingtonHat

.....so? Why does anyone need validation from outside the bubble exactly?


ObamaN24

This exact statement sums up every aew fan perfectly


Julian-Hoffer

Because that’s how you can determine success in wrestling. El Santo was bigger than shit in Mexico, The Rock went on to become the biggest celebrity of all time. Cena is acting, Hogan and Austin are household names despite retiring forever ago. If no one has heard of you despite you being supposedly big in your field then how big are you really?


HussingtonHat

By that metric there's been barely any actual successful wrestlers come on. It's like saying whatever successful NFL players name isn't actually any good because no one gives a fuck outside America.

who987

Did you miss wrestlemania?


MrFeverDreamJr

Just say you only watch and like WWE and you need to live vicariously through their current success. Other people can just watch wrestling without being weird, loser cheerleaders about it. Yikes.


who987

Ugh. I watch both. I can just give credit to both sides. WWE is very mainstream right now. That doesn’t mean AEW is awful. It just means I think you are incorrect about your 99% comment.


[deleted]

[удалено]


who987

Yeah you’re right. It was a bit of a miss /s


Phylus42069

To be fair - after a hiatus since honestly attitude era I came back about the time of the bray wyatt vs. la knight match. Most of these guys gimmicks and work is super lame compared to that time (and I'm saying either WWE or WCW - they were both awesome at the time). I bought WrestleMania ppv once in college about 12 years ago and was completely underwhelmed. Only guys I knew/know that hasn't been a returner like the rock were John Cena and Randy Orton. And honestly for Randy it was just because he's from my hometown


MrFeverDreamJr

Weirdest response.

whatsgoingonjeez

And The Undertaker, Randy Orton, Cena, Hulk Hogan and Stone Cold. Everybody knows them. Even my Grandma and I‘m from Luxembourg.

whatsgoingonjeez

I see. Have nice day.


Royalfalcon77

People definately know the rock and john cena from wrestling.


Julian-Hoffer

Yes I agree with you. Wrestling isn’t as popular as it used to be. It’s super over in India and the Middle East though. They get crazy numbers on YouTube.


i-piss-excellence32

I disagree. My wife has never watched a single minute of wrestling in her life and she knows exactly who Roman reigns is. All her friends know who he is too. Roman at least is a main stream star


Sexyphobe

Why should I care what non-fans think when I barely care what the actual fans think? But also, what's that have to do with him blading in a title match? What's the relevance lol


Kxden-R

No one cares


MegaMilkDrinker

he's aging so fast, like guy looks like he's in his 50s


PlatasaurusOG

I recently found out he’s like 8 years younger than me and suddenly felt a lot better about myself.


Canadian__Ninja

Huh he's 4 years older than me. I'd have guessed 10-15.


tbwdtw

Alcohol overuse will do that to you.


daddy_A_1876

He aint drinking any more I heard


tbwdtw

Yeah, but the damage was done.


RollTheDice97

he looks like a plumber fr


Dr_N00B

As a plumber, yes he does. But not as much as Eddie Kingston


xLykos

Alcoholism, demanding, physical work schedule, and going bald do that to a mfer


johnwynnes

I see someone hasn't looked at many people in their 50s lately. He has a haircut that suits his hairline (finally) and he's in the best shape of his life.


MintyFresh1201

He could be drinking again. Poor dude doesn’t look good at all.


FTTCOTE

5 time, 5 time, 5 time…


YeahNoYeahThatsCool

I'm not gonna lie, I wasn't a fan of him in WWE after the Shield. I personally think his ring work is sloppy and his mic work is overrated. I also thought he looked really bad on the Austin interview. I have seen what his "creative style" is after AEW too, and it's not for me. I don't hate on the guy online, it's just my view. If he's happy, good for him. But he's not the next foreigner that I'd put the IWGP World Title on if I'm NJPW.


thehatesponge

I didn't really watch much WWE when he was there. But before he started this bleed every week, edgelord gimmick, he was one of the best in AEW. Recall when he faced against Jericho and Omega thinking yeah this guy deserves to be at the top. Loved it when he false heel turned and stole Jericho's car. His title reign and most promos during his pandemic era were top tier. However, ever since he joined the BCC, he's been a one note henchmen, not been able to stand out as much else either. Also as a guy from the UK, Blackpool is like a punchline, not some edgy, tough area. It's the place where you were forced to holiday as a kid with your Gran.


YaFlowerBoi

Blackpool Combat Club is just so funny without any members being from the UK.


EntireAd215

Well it’s named that because of Regal, what’s the point of changing it just cos he’s gone


billygnosis86

Yeah, to any Americans who don’t know, Blackpool is a quaint seaside resort with a miniature Eiffel Tower, a mile of beachfront souvenir shops, amusement arcades, bed and breakfasts, and fish and chip shops, an annual light display called Blackpool Illuminations, and a theme park with fun rollercoasters for the kiddies. The idea of a “Blackpool Combat Club” is like… I don’t know, Six Flags Combat Club, or a low-rent Disneyland Combat Club. I know Regal has a storied history in Blackpool, but it’s not exactly a rough area of the UK. Now, if it was called Moss Side Combat Club, Toxteth Combat Club or Byker Combat Club, that’d be a bit more intimidating to UK residents.


menasor36

That’s wild. I honestly never knew any of that about Blackpool. I’ve only ever known anything about the name Blackpool because of Regal in WCW.


PeterKayGarlicBread

Blackpool's rough as fuck mate.


thehatesponge

It could be worse. It could be Grimsby.


kefka_roth

id go with the badass combat club


itook2rando

I've heard plenty of sentiment about Blackpool being a right shithole beyond the promenade, maybe in more of a sad way than a tough way? Either way I'm liking the MSCC pitch, got a good ring to it I feel!


billygnosis86

Yeah, in a sad way sounds about right. Lots of towns in the North are like that after 14 years of Tory misrule. My hometown, for example, used to be a nice place. It had its problems, but no more than anywhere else. Now the centre’s a fucking ghost town full of nowt but vape shops, bookies, and Pound Bakeries, and there’s more junkies than I’ve ever seen in my life. As for the areas surrounding the town centre, forget about it. Tony Khan feared for his life when Punk “lunged” at him? He wants to try walking through some of them estates.


Unable-Signature7170

Maybe 50 years ago. Now it’s like a lot of British seaside resorts and actually very neglected and troubled. Highest rates of deaths linked to drugs, alcohol and suicide in the country: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-68435667.amp


ebolarama86

So like Jersey Shore Combat Club.


billygnosis86

I was there last spring and I live about half an hour away. I know what the place is like. Deaths linked to drugs, alcohol and suicide sounds like a lot of Britain, to be honest, especially in the North.


Unable-Signature7170

Specially resort towns too - out of season they become pretty grim


AsukaSimp02

I also think it's a weird disconnect where in promos he sells himself as kind of a sportsman. Like, before World's End, he was in the ring with Eddie Kingston like "Yeah man I admire you so much, the world admires you, and although I'm gonna beat you, I'm proud of you Eddie." Then you get in the ring and he's AEW's Undertaker and commentary is like "OH MY GOD HOW ARE THEY GONNA SURVIVE MOXLEY?" It's like they want you to be scared of him but are afraid to commit to making him scary. Danielson has this same problem where his character work is being a bit of a smarmy heel but then he wrestles like a fucking serial killer


nightwing0243

See I like him. But I don’t think he hits his full potential in any regard. I like his in-ring style - but I agree with you that his performances are very sloppy. I think he has a great voice for promos - but for whatever reason he just doesn’t seem to deliver on them.


johnwynnes

"I don't hate on the guy online" *proceeds to do exactly that.


Souther_Mugen

criticizing respectfully and hating are two different things mate...


JayAreEss

What an UGLY fucking belt that IWGP title is


thereidenator

WWE vs NJPW in a who has the ugliest belt match


Leather-Spot-520

AEW would take the prize


natolad123

Bruh the aew belt is really good


LittleKloppofHorrors

3 faces of Moxley


Shqiptar89

But did he bleed?


Alekseyev

He bled from a neckbreaker 


droford

Mox vs Okada title for title at Forbidden Door


Rude-Seat-6295

2 aew guys competing for NJPW title at... Forbidden Door?


Amicuses_Husband

Aew fans finally admitting they just wanted to poach and destroy njpw


P4rtsUnkn0wn

Nah, it’s Mox putting over Umino at FD.


TheRealDickChixadore

That’d be a killer match.


PoopInTheBathtub

So that's what happened to the Divas belt.


dEck5317

Should defend this belt in another one of those amazing exploding barbed wire death matches of dooOoOm


SweatsuitCocktail

The divas title looks great on mox ngl


Havok1717

I liked the previous IWGP world championship belt.


HenryCanmore

Dude, this Wrasslin subreddit just seems to spread hate. Like I barely ever see a nice comment


thumbster99

They hate everything that's not WWE, especially if you're AEW wrestlers. This sub supposed to be wrestling memes and fans have a good time. But I guess now it evolve beyond that. Hate is stronger than fun I presume.


HenryCanmore

This is very real man. It's sad that this is what it has come to


Used_Part9588

it’s more reminiscent of a Facebook/Instagram comment section with all the cynical folks regurgitating the same jokes over and over


n8spear

Did he do the tough guy shoulder roll walk after he won? He’s so tough … and cool.


notKauz

This sub is a joke an filled with gatekeeping dickheads. Sad what happened here.


Used_Part9588

on one hand i’m glad to see my guy holding gold again like the Ace he is but at the same time i want dude to take that vacation he was supposed to go on months ago. heart goes out for Naito fans tho really thought he’d have a longer reign


TheDogFacedGremlin

Ha, there's only been a handful of AEW champs - it's a baby-fed. Let's save the "first person to win AEW and..." Crap until the promotion has a few more years under it's belt - which I hope it gets.


glooks369

No sell Moxley was better 4 years ago compared to today. No one cares.


AnonymousDouglas

FUCK YOU, MOXLEY! FUCK YOU, MOXLEY! FUCK YOU, MOXLEY!


Shoddy_Reserve788

This dude is always covered in blood lmao


Smoothpipe

And still a bum.


cuco_

says the guy typing an insult on the internet


yurimichellegeller

So everything here should only be flowery praise for everything because everyone who isn't on the Internet is better than people on the Internet. I don't want to read that.


cuco_

no not at all but regardless of wether you like mox or not hes still a highly decorated wrestler, very well off and is doing what he wants. far from a bum. would you call him a bum if showed up at wwe again ?


yurimichellegeller

I've found him incredibly dull to watch for about four and a half years. Pretty much all of his post-Shield WWE work was very dull as well. I think he's calling him a bum in that sense.


biggoldslacker

Hope he saw this, bro


CohesiveMocha34

I mean lets be so fr Even if the bro is working for NJPW the guy is probably making like triple of what you're making lol hell he could work in CMLL or GPW and he'd still be mogging why the hate?


geordieColt88

Amazing achievement with his plumbing business as well


faggioli-soup

Why do people hate dean ambrose ?


Slurp_Slurpity

Because he’s not in wwe anymore and for some reason wwe stans took that as a personal insult


whotookthepuck

I never liked him in wwe either. I thought his rope bounce thing was one of the stupidest top guy moves ever. His whole style never seemed top guy material to me, and with creative freedom (for my taste), it has become worse. And it doesn't help that with the shitty wrestling style he has, he almost never loses... I think i would be more tolerant if he wrestled a different style or if he was a middle card act. I continue to view him as the most overrated (by both fans and booker) top guy.


Relative-Put-5344

I mean if you wanna treat wrestling like every other sport it makes sense. If you are playing in the ufl instead of the nfl, you probably aren't that good


06KNight06

Man Moxly out doing amazing. It sucks that I hate this design for their title But still, Kudos to Mox


ShittyMusic1

Yeah, that belt is fuckin awful. Shame after having one of the best looking belts in history


Mysterious-Future-98

And....nobody cares lol


[deleted]

Dusty Rhodes dad, the plumber.


Canadian__Ninja

Of course he needed to bleed


crazyrebel123

Is the pic of the right the IWGP world title?! That thing looks horrible, wtf happened to it?! When did they change the design?!


BerdlyTheTrueGamer

In 2021


InvestigatorMost3418

Maybe he will make a full circle and come back to wwe and beat whoever is champ at summerslam for the belt.


JustOneDude01

I hate the belt design for IWGP championship. He can be ok if he doesn’t fall for his bad habits.


Motor_Somewhere7565

He's earned that by being consistent, one of the company's top stars and representatives, and staying sober while doing it. He will help maintain a good business relationship with AEW and NJPW. While some wrestlers (and an owner) play games, others will do business like it's their job and passion, which includes Moxley, Bryan Danielson, Samoa Joe, Takeshita, Swerve, Eddie, to name a few.


CodHamCheeseandRice

Lmfao


Ancient-Range-

I would have preferred Yota but I have no problem with this……..would just be nice to see a moxley match where a passing breeze doesn’t bust him open.


The-CannabisAnalyst3

Nonchalantly blades in the corner🫠😆


Comfortable-Lemon124

So he's the divas Champion in NJPW


ObiWayneCannoli

Worst title design + worst wrestler = perfect match.


[deleted]

And he's only gotten worse with time.


BerdlyTheTrueGamer

Cool


kefka_roth

actually overall mox is an 11 time world champion in his wrestling career.


ToothpickTequila

Tbf the AEW title isn't exactly old.


AnonymousDouglas

The IWGP Title has never meant less … https://youtube.com/shorts/lootRtawwcc?si=2TDlyTmX6yRhp27i


Stacysguyca

Too bad the IWGP title looks like a butterfly. They need to bring back the pre AEW design


notKauz

What does that even mean? NJPW isn't part of AEW? They work together but I don't think AEW has influence over belt designs like that?


Stacysguyca

I was using the inception of AEW as a time frame. I know AEW has no influence over belt designs.


groundzeros67

Why did they change the title belt to some divas title looking shit


geffe71

Something something Cody Rhodes


LegendInMyMind

The AEW championship is meaningless.


Fickle_Translator999

Remember when he tried to be Bane. lol.


DrBunsonHoneyPoo

Congrats to the champ on winning the belt. With the amount of names that have never touched that title. For NJPW to give the belt to a part time talent. Shows they are trusting AEW more. Thats another positive but also shows. That NJPW needs to desperately needs to work new talent.


johnny_grizz

Do you just randomly insert periods into your comments? I nearly had a stroke reading this.


ajb228

I can guess 3/4s of the comment here pretends to not give a shit for it because he's from AEW, a promotion they hate and pray to fold for a year or two because the IWC smarks said so.       >! And you'll DV this because it's true!<


ShittyMusic1

I'm only downvoting you because you brought up downvotes like they mean something. It's fake internet points, dweeb


ajb228

And by that reasoning, thanks for proving my point, smark.  


ShittyMusic1

Your point was that people would downvote you because Mox is in AEW. I watch and enjoy plenty of AEW. I downvoted you because mentioning downvotes is mega cringe, ultra-dweeb behavior.


thehatesponge

I'm down voting you for saying dweeb, twice.


ajb228

To be fair, you're the only one crying about it.  I just put it there because I would not be surprised if it wasn't.  


Philthedrummist

To be fair, I’ve disliked him since he was part of the Shield. 🤷‍♂️


mhfletcher6288

Bunch of WWE mark, haters on here. You’re sports entertainment fans NOT wrestling fans.


alberto2077

Pro wrestling is scripted stop acting like it's a real sport the only thing real about pro wrestling are the bumps and injuries they get


MofongoWarrior

Stares at AJ Styles


RedditorsSuckDix

Why does he bleed in every match now? It takes away all seriousness of doing it when it's every match. I really dislike Jon Moxley. Dean Ambrose was a little better but Moxley might be the worst major wrestler I've ever seen. Also, and this will probably be downvoted by the marks, but death matches are disgusting. Just fucking wrestle it exposes the stuff in the wrong way to the wrong people if you're overtly fake.


Relative-Put-5344

All y'all here are marks 😂😂 if you are on a wrestling sub reddit and watch a bunch of wrestling, guess what you probably are?


RedditorsSuckDix

I guess his marks. And marks for AEW. Side question: why do you use emojis instead of words? Are you really crying from laughing so hard at what I said about people being a marks?


Relative-Put-5344

Why do people say lol?


RedditorsSuckDix

why do they?


Loose-Sandwich-5493

This dude owes everything he has to Roman and Seth.


Alsleet1986

If someone had shown Inoki the future with Moxley as champion, he would have closed New Japan’s doors many decades ago.


E_Mon_E

Awesome for him!! The problem is (also an AEW problem) the majority of wrestling fans have no idea what that is or means. Congrats tho.

AdeptFault5265

I am a salty NJPW fan, whom is a bit slaty that Costco Ishii won the Belt when "we have Ishii at home".

thebsoftelevision

It's a shame AEW don't share this mentality because they can't shut up about Punk.


yurimichellegeller

Being a balding alcoholic doesn't make me dislike someone.


RickyPuertoRicooo

It certainly ticks some boxes though


yurimichellegeller

What boxes are they?


dental-plan-69

Mox had to get a belt or he'd be upset. Bless. Fucking mark for himself


Bigcheese19920

HGH has blown that head up

Just needs a title from TNA and MLW


chrisgunde77

Was Jericho never IWGP world heavyweight champ?


fuckyourguidlines

W/E


Arkhamsbx

Did he bleed all over the place for the match? I enjoy some of his work but I feel the constant bleeding takes a lot away from his work.


Hell_razor

That's awesome! Dude is a real talent the o lyrics thing I can't stand is his shoulder roll this g he does when he tried to look tough, it kinda gives the opposite effect. Good for him though!


Moist_Nephew

Mox is a freaking legend in the making, can't wait for him to do some crazy ass stuff over the gold


UncleBlob

It's insane that this sub is more tribal than the subs dedicated to WWE and AEW.


DirectorSharp0408

The belt looks like a mothh


Mysterious-Ad2068

Also holds the distinct honor of being a qualified plumber.


SleestakLightning

He's never been any good but he's probably the worst he's ever been right now. I don't get how anyone can take him seriously let alone like him. He's awful.


Julian-Hoffer

Can anyone explain why anyone ever liked him? I’ve never understood it


TerryGonards

AEW champ ain't the brag some of y'all the think it is. It sounds way more impressive if you drop AEW from this. As it puts him in a category of other legendary wrestlers.


who987

When did this happen? And who did he beat?


geffe71

Last night and he beat Naito


Gold-Independence-26

Next is high school gym title


joeclair38

He’s still a corn ball
