He's not Nia Jax and hurting people every match, but I do think that it caught up to him here with Hangman.
I like Moxley, though I'm not as big of a fan of his character work here, nor his reliance on the type of matches that he wants to do, which are low on pyschology and story telling.

But he's not young, because of the current situation, they're working the piss out of him and fatigue has set it. But lets be honest, he's always been pretty sloppy in the ring. In WWE there was a bit of a filter on what he was doing in the ring by the producers, which I don't think is as bad as it was originally promoted.

I think that AEW really does need a EVP of (and to use my Jim Cornette voice) WTF.

"Hey EVP, I have this idea in a match to do this incredibly dangerous stunt to me and my opponent during a regular dynamite match, because it will be the 5th one in this match and maybe it will get more over and on TV once in a while, what do you thing?"

EVP of WTF - "WTF? No that's stupid"
