AEW star Jon Moxley was a wrestling geek back in the day. When he was young, he even believed that The Undertaker slept inside a coffin.

In a recent interview on the "Throwing Down" podcast, AEW star Jon Moxley spoke with his wife Renee Paquette and Miesha Tate. He shared how he started wrestling with an anecdote of how he thought The Undertaker slept inside a coffin.

“I found myself kind of like academically studying wrestling to the point where it was beyond being a fan where I was so obsessed with it. I was an athlete in high school in wrestling and football. Back then, I didn’t have the internet and all that, and I was like, how do you get into wrestling? It’s like this mysterious world. A guy like The Undertaker, I remember me and my friends would be like, ‘Do you really think he sleeps in a coffin? What does he do in real life’, because it wasn’t exposed like it is today. So it was like this mysterious world," said Jon Moxley. (Wrestling News.co)
