Major? AEW is a niche of a niche. And I don't think this is going to hurt him with the fanbase they got.

By wrestling standards they are a major promotion, they have 2 TV shows on a major cable channel and they (occasionally) run NBA arenas

Of course that shyt isn't gonna hurt him with their fanbase, that fanbase is a cult that will support anything their guys do. Could hurt their perception corporate wise, ideally you want your world champion to be the guy you send to the Tonight Show and Good Morning America, not a bingo hall to bleed and do gay shyt

Dean Ambrose > Jon Moxley

big facts

Dean Ambrose could do funny shyt and be charming but also turn up for blowoff matches and get intense

Jon Moxley cuts the same one-note "grrrr i'm so angry" promos and has the same match over and over, there's no variety to the character. Unless he starts adopting the gay shyt he just did on AEW TV too :russ:

there's a reason Tony Khan didn't hire Joey Ryan at the height of his popularity, he was on the original All In in a featured spot lets not forget. Tony knew that gay "suplex a guy with your dikk" shyt wouldn't fly in the mainstream

All the wrestling journalists virtue signaling now over Joey Ryan were the same ones defending his gay shyt when all the indy neckbeard fans loved him. And they'll be the same ones bashing the creep Moxley wrestled when it comes out he's a weirdo too

Moxley ain't going on no tonight show. And I'm not even going to bother with the corporate concern shyt. People tried to argue similar wrt NXT and showcasing developmental talent on live tv. It didn't make sense then, and these arguments don't make sense now, because we don't know what corporate dictates, so it's a waste of time trying to speculate. Outside of the ever shrinking wrestling circle, no one even knows about this or cares about this to the point that it would be detrimental, anyway.

Exactly. And it's 2022, not 1952. Corporate America at large isn't guided by homophobia these days.

As if any champ from AEW is ever getting on ANY late show :laff:
I can't even begin to imagine how awful it would be to watch someone like Moxley to be on something like the Tonight Show. I mean I hate that type of thing and find it largely unwatchable no matter who it is, but he would take that unwatchability of it up a notch or two.
