"Doesn't give me sympathy" - WWE veteran ridicules shocking spot in Jon Moxley's title match on Dynamite
WWE veteran Jim Cornette wasn't a fan of a certain spot during Jon Moxley's world title match on AEW Dynamite: Quake By The Lake from last Wednesday.
The Interim AEW World Heavyweight Champion wrestled Chris Jericho, who brought back his famous "Lionheart" persona from the mid-1990s. During the bout, Jericho tore Moxley's earring, resulting in the latter's left ear bleeding.
During a recent episode of The Jim Cornette Experience, the veteran manager pointed out that Jericho made the gruesome move for "entertainment" purposes.
However, the WWE legend emphasized that a wrestler like Moxley shouldn't wear jewelry during a match.
"[Chris] Jericho makes an obvious show to everybody and the camera of tearing the earring out of [Jon] Moxley's ear. What? Good! Why was he [Moxley] wearing it? That doesn't give me sympathy for a babyface because first thing you learn is don't wear jewelry in a goddamn wrestling match or a fight," Cornette stated. [from 4:03 - 4:22]

Former WWE manager Jim Cornette was critical of Jon Moxley's excessive bleeding
Jon Moxley is known for getting busted wide open during matches due to his death-match style of wrestling.
WWE legend Jim Cornette disliked it and just hilariously uttered these thoughts with regards to the Interim AEW World Heavyweight Champion's tendency to bleed:
"Well he [Jon Moxley] does when you look crossways at him, he bleeds. He just erupts in blood and you're right, he's a rebel and he'll never be any good. He's a rebel and he'll never act like he should," he added. [from 2:31 - 2:45]

The Purveyor of Violence's tendency to bleed has had mixed reactions and negative connotations. However, it seems Moxley will likely continue this if it's required to fit his style.
