New Japan Use of Jon Moxley
By Scott Keith on 23 July 2019
Not only is New Japan getting some kick ass matches and tons of new
YouTube views from Jon Moxley himself, but it looks like he is also
elevating Juice Robinson from happy-go-lucky joke to someone that
might step up to the main event tier next year. And on top of that,
they may have even stumbled upon a whole new way of elevating a Young
Lion without having to send him away for a couple of years.
Is this what the experts call "good shit"?
I believe so. I'm such a huge fan of what they're doing with Umino here, too. It's win-win-win. Moxley gets someone to do the job for him and a protege for his character, Umino gets the rub and some high profile tag matches in the G1 instead of laundering jock straps or whatever the Lions have to do these days, and fans get a wacky storyline to elevate an otherwise meaningless filler match on the undercard. It's such a great idea.
