“I admire Jon Moxley for what he’s done” – WWE Hall of Famer praises AEW star for undergoing rehab
AEW commentator Jim Ross revealed his thoughts about Jon Moxley entering an inpatient alcohol treatment program. On the latest episode of the Grilling JR podcast, the WWE Hall of Famer said:
"I admire Jon Moxley for what he’s done. The courage it takes to stand in front of your peers, world, the fans, your family, your wife, friends, everybody, is extraordinary. I’ll always have [an] amazing respect for Jon Moxley, and we all should."
Earlier this month, AEW announced that Jon Moxley is undergoing rehab for treatment of alcohol addiction. Tony Khan confirmed that it was a joint decision between Moxley and his wife, Rene Paquette.
Referring to Moxley, Ross recalled Eddie Guerrero and his alcohol addiction. He expressed:
"Eddie [Guerrero] didn’t want to go that route, but in today’s world, he probably would’ve because it’s more accepted. Then, it was a sign of weakness."
Eddie Guerrero passed away sixteen years ago. He was in his prime and a regular on Smackdown at the time. His premature death was a result of acute heart failure due to underlying atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.
AEW Full Gear was a tribute show to Eddie Guerrero
