He also talked about his exit from WWE and how he ended up signing with AEW.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some key quotes from Moxley from his appearance on Talk Is Jericho:<\/p>\n<p><strong>On leaving WWE<\/strong>: \u201cI feel like the weight of the world has been lifted off my shoulders.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>On being the lead face on Smackdown<\/strong>: Moxley talked about being the lead good guy on Smackdown and how the writing team wanted him to talk about what he did during the day and they weren\u2019t things a cool guy would do, but instead he felt they were something an idiot would do. He told the writer to change it and the writer came back and Vince put it all back in. Moxley said he had to go to talk to Vince and Vince said, \u201cIt\u2019s such good s&#8211;t. This is the reason people like you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>On a pooper scooper being used as a prop in one of his scripts<\/strong>: \u201cThis is a billion dollar company run by a man that\u2019s allegedly a genius and keep in mind we\u2019re all adults and we\u2019re talking about stuff like this.\u201d<br \/>\nOn knowing he was done with WWE after Vince had him do a skit where he got innoculations to protect him against the fans: \u201cIt\u2019s just more of this carrot top prop comedy\u201d he told Vince. \u201cIf this is what you want on this show, I\u2019m the best man for the job.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>On his working relationship with Vince<\/strong>: \u201cWe\u2019re mentos and Diet Coke. Me and Vince together create this explosion of goofy nonsense that I detest.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>On his return to WWE from injury in 2018<\/strong>: \u201cI\u2019m not even back yet and I\u2019m already pissed off.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>On what he said to Vince when he told him he was leaving WWE when his contract was u<\/strong>p: \u201cEvery Monday I get a physical sick feeling in my stomach&#8230; I can\u2019t live like that.\u201d<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-3821427280\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><strong>On WWE issuing a press release that he was leaving the company months before his contract expired:<\/strong> \u201cIt was like a glowing review.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>On Vince McMahon being unable to control the narrative that he was leaving WWE<\/strong>: \u201cHe\u2019s got the million dollar man complex&#8230; that\u2019s why he pays millions to Brock to come in and ruin this company.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>On the new contract WWE offered him:<\/strong> \u201cI never looked at it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>On the problems with WWE\u2019s creative structure<\/strong>: \u201cI think Vince is the problem,\u201d said Moxley. \u201cNot so much Vince, but the structure he built around himself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>On his goals with AEW<\/strong>: \u201cIf I had a goal with AEW, it\u2019s we can prove Vince\u2019s way sucks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>On what he got paid for his last WWE appearance:<\/strong> You know how much I got paid for the last house show with The Shield special?,\u201d said Ambrose.\u201d 500 dollars.
