Is Jon Moxley worse than John Cena?

I have never been a Cena fan ever since I turned 12 years old and became a smark. Seeing him shoved down my throat every week on WWE programming for YEARS was some of the worst, most insufferable viewing experience I've had as a pro wrestling fan.

However, I'm now feeling the deep and vehement disdain I had for Cena all those years ago once more with Jon Moxley on AEW programming.

Jon Moxley is seriously the fucking worst. I wanted so badly to like him in AEW. He felt like a star when he debuted at Double or Nothing, and I remember being so hyped for that moment. But my interest in Moxley has gradually faded over time and I've ALWAYS wanted to like him because I see AEW fans always hyping him up like he's the biggest deal ever, but he's never proven himself to be an 'elite' level wrestler by any stretch of the imagination.

Moxley can't cut meaningful, TRULY MEANINGFUL promos that have substance; rather he follows the framework of "I'm like a sick guy you know, I just like to HURT people!!!!" while having zero interesting storylines or motivations as a character.

Moxley is unathletic and looks fucking sloppy and weird in the ring. That shoulder shrug thing gets on my nerves now as well. I swear I know a few people irl that would smack the shit outta Moxley if he tried his 'tough-guy' shtick in front of them. I'm glad MJF called him out on it in his most recent promo on dynamite, he was spot on with his impression.

Moxley CANNOT FUCKING SELL TO SAVE HIS LIFE. This is my biggest gripe with him honestly. Be as unathletic, goofy, cringey and overrated as you want, but goddamn at least sell moves for the other person in the ring. Why the fuck is it that wrestlers sell Moxley's moves to make him look like a billion bucks and a top star, and Mox literally no-sells 90% of the offense against him??? IT LOOKS FUCKING LAZY! IT LOOKS LIKE HE JUST LAYS THERE SLEEPING AS HE'S GETTING STOMPED OUT.
