Quote from Jon Moxley

"He's very, very good. Takeshita is goddamn good. They say that, at least I hear this all the time, that I'm a hard guy to impress. I don't think that's true. I think that a lot of people are totally delusional about what should be impressive. Takeshita, especially over the last year or two, has impressed me a great deal. I think probably Takeshita might be the best guy in AEW. If there was one guy that I wouldn't totally bet the farm that I'm 100% sure I can take him out, it's Takeshita, and I feel like I don't know this guy at all. I haven't hung out with this guy. We don't even speak the same language. I know nothing about this guy, but I know everything about him. There's an understanding between us that we have that only the kinds of wrestlers who seek out, challenge and seek out competition and just want to be out there, who are willing to put themselves through a Continental Classic, through a G1, to go to every indie show in the country, around the world, wherever they set up a ring, just to be out there, just to play our instruments because we're very good at them, because we like to experiment, because we're chasing mastery of what we're doing. There's an unspoken, unsaid thing between us that, that we have in common, but guys like us are very, very, very, very competitive. I was not willing to walk away with a 20-minute draw. I would rather choke on my own vomit and die than be satisfied with a 20-minute draw with Takeshi. I would rather just lose. I would rather just lose."
