JON MOXLEY REMEMBERS JON 'BRODIE LEE' HUBER

Jon Moxley was interviewed by Sports Illustrated's Justin Barrasso his afternoon, discussing the passing of Jon Huber aka Brodie Lee.

“It doesn’t feel real,” sais Moxley.  “It feels like I’m in a very vivid dream and I’m waiting to snap out of it. My brain hasn’t accepted it yet. Right now, I’m completely f------ numb.”

Moxley also remembered theur long, intertwined career.

“The first night we wrestled each other, we shared a hotel room together later that night,” said Moxley. “That was over a decade ago. He was an incredible person. While so many of us would be all hot about some wrestling angle, he would find a way to turn negatives into a positive or an inside joke. He was the exact person you wanted in the locker room. I was so glad to be around him again in AEW.  And we wrestled so many times. Whether it was on the indies, in The Shield–Wyatt war, six-mans on house shows and European tours, it felt like we were always together. When Tony Khan asked me about Brodie in AEW, I said, ‘Hell yeah, I want that match.’ We could wrestle each other in our sleep. He was so f------ good.”

“It wasn’t a secret to anyone in the business how good he was,” said Moxley. “But he was always used in a utility role or part of a group. For him to be the centerpiece of a group as a solo act, he proved he was a main-event performer.”

“He wasn’t interested in being famous,” said Moxley. “This is a guy you would not see at an afterparty. As soon as he was done with work, he was going home to his family as soon as possible. He was so proud to be a father and a husband. He loved wrestling and he was great at it, but it was his job. He was lucky enough to love his vocation, but his most important role in life was as a father and a husband.”
