Jon Moxley & Jim Ross Reveal Incidents In WWE That Got Them In Trouble

In the "Unhinged: The Story Of Jon Moxley" segment with Jim Ross at the Starrcast Starrcast IV in Baltimore, MD, Jon Moxley revealed a time when he was in WWE that he got him a harsh telling off for swearing on television. 

Moxley said he won/defended the WWE United States on a WWE pay-per-view and was "in the zone" when he cursed in the moment and said "give me my f**king belt" to the referee after his match. Moxley didn't think anything of it but when he got to the back WWE producer Road Dogg asked him if he said, "f**k", to which Moxley responded, "I didn't cut a promo" and claimed he couldn't remember.

The next night he was approached by a senior WWE official who told him he must go into the production truck and say sorry to the production crew, "because hitting the button for the delay was so f**king hard" Moxley humorously quipped.

Moxley gave the apology and assured the production crew it would never happen again, he thought that would be it until that same WWE official approached him again. 

The official said "I don't think that was the right kind of apology for the push we want to give you", Moxley was miffed by this and was then told for the first time "we know you're a different type of cat" and Moxley became confused as to what the WWE official wanted from him.

Moxley said to the audience and J.R. "I must have come off like a d**k, I didn't mean to but I must have" he added "that was a pivotal moment where they [WWE] were like f**k this guy"

Jim Ross followed up with his own story from WWE in which revealed around the time Jonathan Coachman was playing heel they had a segment in which Ross got into an argument with him and called him "boy" which WWE officials felt was racial.

Ross recalled being confused and was called into a meeting with Vince and Stephanie in which he was told what he had said and that he had to watch it back like Moxley's incident, this drew a laugh from the crowd.

Ross was forced to apologize, Ross said "I called him boy" not "hey boy."

He added that what both he and Moxley experienced is WWE's way of breaking talent down. He said he "detested" that approach and it was a "poor" way of motivating talent. He added that if WWE felt they couldn't control you, they went out of their way to make it known they are watching you.

Moxley responded, "it feels like high school." 

Starrcast is available to stream live and on-demand through FITE TV.
