This is why I think the death match with Omega worked (even if I don't like those matches and there are other issues I won't delve into). Even if the match was dumb as fuck, you now have undeniable proof that Moxley is twisted as fuck. Those matches, much of the time, aren't particularly great and are frustrating when the two could have a better match with a different style.
But this gives Moxley the lure of a Cactus Jack-type character, who wrestled in his share of fucking horrificly bad and awkward death matches. Instead of those matches being standalone works of art, they add to the character's mystique if utilized correctly. Now John Moxley is a guy who might kill your husband if he's a wrestler.
The advantage he has is that his look has never been better, he CAN work other styles very well (much like Foley) so the deathmatches don't have to be a crutch., and he's a great promo.
Plus, it's kind of good that Moxley did something that disgusted even the smartest of fans. He comes out there and talks about how he's unhinged... it's kind of lame if Dave Meltzer is like "WHAT AN ARTISTIC MASTERPIECE" -- that almost makes him just another guy. This makes him legitimately dangerous, whereas a rowdy brawl with Omega woulda just been people going "GREAT MATCH."
Just food for thought, god knows what the actual motivation of that shit show this past Saturday was.
