Geoff Akerman: Excellent story of one man's story to reach the top in the world of sports entertainment. The language used is often laced with profanities, but Jon Moxley carries all before him and the story he tells is exactly how he sees it. Recommended reading if your a fan of wrestling/sports entertainment.

Ed: Mox is definitely one of my favorite wrestlers, and this book helped me solidify that! You can definitely hear Jon's voice coming through in the text. It's a fun, non-chronological tour through the life and times of one of the most influential Western professional wrestlers of the era.

Destiny Whitaker: FINALLY FINISHED THE MOX BOOK!
It was the best books that I've read in a while, in fact is one of the few in the last couple years that I finished and want to reread again.
"Why I don't ride motorcycles" Got me hooked, the whole situation in the chapters "Omaha, Nebraska" and "Tone it down" was too gotdamn relatable, and "Grant" made me listen to sad songs for a bit. "Brodie" made my chest hurt (and that was way before I got to Grant) while "Sandwiches" made me rethink...well sandwiches.
The whole book was Mox imprinted from beginning to end, from the tangents to the breaks with his choice of music, movies, and jokes Claudio tells him (which made me have a soft sport for corny jokes.)

Chris Smith: My husband bought this for me for my birthday. I'm 46 and a year ago, I didn't know who Jon Moxley was. Started watching wrestling again after a decade b/c my husband liked Danhausen. I LOVED the changes I saw with AEW, and really got into it. Immediately liked this guy Moxley, but didn't know much other than his ring performances. This book was a great insight into the guy, and I loved every minute. It made me laugh and cry. It makes me even more happy for him he's on top, knowing where he came from and what he's accomplished. Truly a class act. So excited for him to have this accomplishment under his belt as well. Pun intended. Go Mox! I feel better knowing my favorite wrestler has a heart and soul! -HBS (wifey)

K. G. A. Alavi: A good book. For me Mox was a sort of forgotten member of the Shield. It was not until I saw his incarnation in AEW that I started to get more into his characters. I admit I take a break from wrestling so I did miss some of his stuff I WWE.
The great think about thus book is when Mox talk about the moments leading up to his matches. The psychology and emotions running through him. I can almost feel him getting into character. It is almost an adrenaline injection through the pages. The is a lot of kayfabe in this book to the point that Jon does not even give his last name. He almost stays in character in the whole book.
As much sucess he has had in the WWE he has had to deal with a lot of frustration and politics. This book does not ho into all the details but does mention some. I have always preferred the more outcast characters probobly what drew me to WCW, TNA NEW JAPAN and now AEW. I think having an alternative organisation is great gir yhe wrestler it give them somewhere else to go and thrive apart from WWE. Also I think having the competition benefits the WWE as well.
The only thing I did not like about this book is the format. The dates snd moment are...

Haley: Jon Moxley is back. He’s out of jail…
Anyone who has followed professional wrestling over the past decade knows the name Jon Moxley. And if you don’t? You definitely know the name Dean Ambrose. It seemed like overnight that Dean Ambrose rose to the top of the WWE roster and suddenly… his booking hit rock bottom.
How rock bottom is rock bottom for him?
Well… after a disastrous and mentally torturous heel run in 2018, Dean Ambrose lost himself. He was depressed, angry, and struggled to find purpose in the wrestling world. He knew he was going to leave the WWE, that when his contract was up for renewal? He was walking out the door and he wasn’t going to look back unless it was to throw up the bird in Vince McMahon’s face.
MOX details Jon Moxley’s journey from indie kid to WWE Superstar to AEW powerhouse. And it does it perfectly. It’s a story that I don’t think could have been told by anyone other than Mox himself. The book reads just like Mox interviews. It’s chaotic, out of order, riddled with profanity, and absolutely enthralling.
You don’t need to know the pro-wrestling injury to appreciate this book… but it certainly...
