Jon Moxley Talks About The Match Stipulation He Hates

AEW star Jon Moxley has made a career out of working every gimmick match under the sun, including barbed wire death matches and lights out matches.

On the AEW Anniversary show last month, Moxley took part in the Casino Ladder Match, which was won by the returning Adam Page. Moxley recently spoke on Wrestling Observer Radio, where he expressed his disdain for Ladder Matches.

Mox explained:

“I swore to God that I would never do a ladder match again for the rest of my life. I hate ladder matches. I’m not good at ladder matches. They’re not my thing. I hate them. I feel like ladders have taken more years off my career…they f*ck you up. Fans don’t even truly they see all these bumps on the ladders, I don’t think they truly appreciate how much it f’*cks people up. Elbow chips, f*cking your back up. I don’t f*ck with ladders anymore. My thing was like, ‘I don’t do ladders.’ I do other sh*t. Ladders, not my thing. I was like, ‘I ain’t doing another ladder match again.’ I’m not what you call a high flyer. There’s no reason for me to climb a ladder and what the f*ck am I doing? Falling off the thing? For what reason? I was over ladder matches. I swore I would never do ladder matches again. Until Tony books this ladder match. We’re talking and he’s like, ‘I need some star power in this match. For reasons, you need to be in this.’ I’m like, ‘Motherf*cker.’ I tried every excuse. Ultimately, he’s the boss, he’s paying me, I’ll do my best. I’m on the team.”

Moxley tours the world, going through barbed wire, glass sheets, thumbtacks and everything you find in your local Ikea, but Ladders, they scare him.
