Jon Moxley: If Every Wrestler In This Sport Worked As Hard Every Single Day As Marina Shafir, Everybody Would Be A Thousand Times Better

Jon Moxley speaks on the development of Marina Shafir and how hard she works every single day.

Since the beginning of the Death Riders as a faction, Shafir has played a pivotal role in the faction as Moxley’s heavy, carrying championships that Moxley has won during entrances and influencing matches from the outside with interference. She has also developed more as an in ring performer as a result, something that Moxley attributes to hard work.

While speaking on The Close Up with Renee Paquette in a new interview, Jon Moxley spoke about Shafir, remarking that if every wrestler worked as hard as Shafir, ‘everybody would be a thousand times better’.

“Marina has become my lieutenant, my head of security, the heart and soul of the entire operation. If every wrestler in this sport worked as hard every single day as Marina Shafir, everybody would be a thousand times better. The work ethic that she has, the approach to this game, living the life, not just talking about it but living it. Living the life of a professional athlete, a professional wrestler. If she has a big match one night and I wake up in the morning, and it’s the afternoon because I sleep in, and I look out the window and she’s down at the pool doing exercises, shadow boxing, and then I pull up at the building an hour later and she’s outside the building jumping rope. Looking like a pitbull, then that night, goes out there and goes to war. She never turns it off.”

Moxley is currently scheduled to defend his AEW Continental Championship at AEW Revolution this coming weekend. You can read more about that here.
