Does he lay into Trips too? Or just the senile old goat in charge?

 

So far just Vince.

 

"YOU GOTTA SAY THE POOPER SCOOPER LINE IT'S SUCH GOOD SHIT"

 

Oh man. I got to the point where he’s mentions Roman. I just assumed they were all good with that. That’s so fucked.

 

It's probably safe to say there will never be another Shield reunion lol

 

Highlights from the podcast (took it from a reddit page)

• He knew he wanted to leave the company in July 2018 when he was out with an injury
  
  
• Refused to read a scripted promo because he believed it was idiotic/ridiculous whilst Vince believed it was great
  
  
• Talks about the promos he read whilst feuding with Seth late last/early this year, and how they made no sense, tried to rewrite them and got frustrated when he couldn't
  
  
• Says he thought him cutting the promo talking about Romans cancer was distasteful
  
  
• Says he felt like walking out on the Raw where he got shots during a promo, and that was the day he 100% knew he was leaving and not coming back
  
  
• Vince tried to talk him into saying another cancer remark about Roman, says it was so bad they could have lost sponsors, refused to say it (34 minutes into the podcast)
  
  
• Says he was excited to return to wrestling when he was injured, but not excited to return to WWE
  
  
• Says if there was no other promotion other than WWE, he still would have left
  
  
• Vince "didn't know" he was unhappy, even with Jon/dean being open with his frustrations to Vince about scripts
  
  
• Was happy to take bumps from Nia, but felt like it was them punishing him for leaving
  
  
• They offered him a new contract, he didnt look at it
  
  
• His goal in AEW is to be the best version of himself, looking forward to creative freedom
  
  
• Says Tony Kahn is the exact opposite of Vince, likes him and the fact hes a huge wrestling fan
  
  
• Talks about using social media now that hes out of WWE
  
  
• He told Seth hes a wild animal thats been domesticated for too long when Seth was upset about him leaving
  

 

Jesus no. Definitely not while Vince is alive if he hears this podcast.

 

I wonder if the stuff Jon says about EC3 is the reason he's MIA.

 

so this mox podcast is must listen huh

also the wild card rule is worse than dan

 

Oh mannn. Can't wait to listen

 

Damn, that's real bad

 

That was wild. That was near CM Punk level dragging.

 

Everything is build for the Saudi show right now. There isn't really anything for him until after.

 

This is as entertaining as a podcast can get

 

Which is funny considering how bad the Austin one was

 

Avoid nouns, nouns become props

 

Best Friends with the current best theme video.

 

Holy shit Vince thought that vaccination promo was genius

 

Dude Dean had to shut down horrible lines about Romans cancer, he said it was reaaallllll bad. Really bad. Fucking christ....

 

Sweet Christ, I want this so bad.

 

This gives the context for why that one was bad to be fair. Also Austin pushing him on things he doesn't want to talk about suuuuucked.

 

I'll take 8

 

Dean sounds so different now, he always sounded so drained and monotone in interviews going back years in wwe. He seems much happier now, happy for him.

 

Really cool that he got Nick Mondo to work on that first promo video. I still need to check out The Trade.
