1) My issue with this spot in particular is that it takes me out of the match. Violence that makes me go "Oh fuck, these dudes really want to kill each other!" enhances the match, like what we had with Toni Storm and Mariah May, or CM Punk and Drew Mcintyre's Hell in a cell last year. - ThreadSky

2) But this just makes me think, "Damn he's just here to hurt himself" and I'm now thinking about his safety, not the match I'm watching. In a strange way spots like that make the match feel less realistic. I don't know where the line is, and the only way to find the line it to push it.

3) I applaud Moxly for taking that hit. I'm equally terrified and impressed. But being impressed at his guts is not a substitute for a lackluster feud.

To your final point, I will argue that what Mox did Wednesday with the extenuating circumstances, match and spot finally helped build some goodwill that had all but dissipated among the the overarching world title scene. There's buzz at the moment. And that's a good thing for the company.

Not only that but like this is Mox doing Mox shit, CZW's Jon Moxley wanted that spot. And it's cool as hell that you don't have to be at 2300 arena or a storage space converted into a wrestling gym in jersey to see that kind of spot, it can be on a top promotion main event on a Wednesday night
