Finally sat down to watch it.
Cried. Really powerful.

The visual difference is painfully obvious, but he also lost a lot of weight (not just water weight), didn't he? Him being a rugged pretty boy is a much better look than just being rugged. Mostly because his body clearly wants to be that way. I'm really looking forward to what he can do now.

Reminder that there were people who legitimately thought Moxley looked completely fine and would try to clown on you if you questioned his appearance before he went away. That dude looked f***ing bad, it was uncomfortable to watch. In his last few appearances, he was definitely looking more puffy and bloated, but I was thinking that was just from the stress of being a new dad. The difference between those 2 images, though, is night and day, like it's a completely different person.

I think this will sit alongside Punk's return as the best promo in AEW history, TBH. Not that other guys in AEW aren't cutting great promos, but Punk/Mox felt like MOMENTS. The silence when Jon was addressing the crowd felt like a legend addressing the crowd at an old-time baseball game. It was honestly unlike anything I've seen in wrestling in the last decade or so. Moving stuff.

That was fantastic. Great to see Mox back. Anyone know if they did indeed kick that fan out?

Especially if the guy that you're talking shit to is a guy like Moxley who just went through hell in order to get himself clean for the sake of himself and his family.

Was so happy to see him back. Biggest mark out moment for me since Big E won MITB last year I think.

These days, there’s very little that gets me excited about wrestling. But I am salivating for a Mox/Punk blood feud.

Awesome promo. Crowd being so silent during the first half of it was chilling. Its so good to see him back. And looking so healthy
'I don't run from demons I kick the shit out of them' was such a badass line in a promo full of them.

I’m grateful for the asshole fan; Like Meltzer said, there’s always that one person in the crowd and I’m going to take a step farther and say there’s always going to be that person or group in life. Whatever the objective is, that asshole/bitch will be there and you’ve got to learn to block them out or nonchalantly tell them to f*** off just like Mox did haha
And also because, in a promo & moment that will surely live on for a long time, that asshole inadvertently helped Moxley start it off in a way that perfectly encapsulates him: Uncensored. Unscripted. 100% not-give-a f*** authentic badass.

That dude looked f***ing bad, it was uncomfortable to watch. While he certainly looks a lot healthier now, I didn't think he looked "bad" before this. Arms were swole, had a bit of a Dad bod but that's to be expected when one has actually become a Dad and has the accompanying loss of sleep and time to work out. I don't think I was alone in having a "whoa!" moment when he went to rehab as nothing about his in-ring performance suggested he was having issues. Anyways, excellent promo, good to see him back.

And looking so healthy 'I don't run from demons I kick the shit out of them' was such a badass line in a promo full of them. It felt a lot of ways like a Terry Funk promo. The delivery wasn't the same, exactly, but there was that "I'm telling a story, and you're all going to be eating out of the palm of my hands. Sit back." quality to it.

Sometimes the crowd is silent because they're bored, other times it's because they're gripped. It's actually easy to tell the difference, & this was absolutely 'hanging-on-every-word' stuff.

On the subject of assholes, naturally Bully Ray decided to Bully Ray about this situation so that's fun.

To put context, what he said was that acting like he did doesn't endear him to the audience because of why he was out there and whilst he's not as big headed about it as I have seen...this is the guy who bragged about causing riots in ECW, right? That same guy?

This dude has always sucked, I don't care how many super naughty words he yelled at people in ECW. He's probably bitter because Jon Moxley is actually a draw and wasn't a member of one of the most overrated tag teams of all time.

The telltale signs of alcoholism were there but it’s tricky sometimes to distinguish with just weight-gain. I never noticed his face, but I assumed he was bulking up for a beefier look. Honestly, all the alcoholics I know are not in shape at all so it definitely caught me off guard.
