July 1 2022 I wrestled what would be Joe Doering’s last match.
A month prior I’d noticed something was off with Joe. But it never crossed my mind that his cancer might have returned. In my mind he’d already faced that battle and won.
I’ve thought about it all countless times since and never asked. I think he knew the cancer had returned or at least had a gut feeling. Regardless he kept it all to himself. When it came time for the match he was down for everything. Angle slam off the apron to the floor? Let’s do it. Superplex? He was down.
I remember going to him before the match and telling him “Joe hopefully I don’t regret this. But I really want you to lay your stuff in on me out there. If you clothesline me I want my boots to come loose.” He kind of smirked like only Joe could and agreed. (And he sure did what I asked 😂)
We had a 20+ main event title match on ppv. I can’t imagine the pain or discomfort he was feeling at the time. But in true Joe fashion he was an absolute warrior.
Joe always was a professional. A class act and one hell of a wrestler. I left that match sore as shit but proud. It’s a strange feeling being both honoured and sad to have been the one that he closed out his career with. I’m just fortunate to have known him both in and out of the ring.
He fought cancer for so long. I can only hope that now he can finally rest.
❤️Joe
AEW and the wrestling world mourn the passing of Joe Doering. Our deepest sympathies go out to his family, friends and fans during this difficult time.
Nooooo… fuck that tb how Roman has a fixation on making his family bow down to him or bend the knee. Like having grown man bow down to you sounds more like it should’ve been attached to this statement not mox’s situation.
Bully Ray believes he could "beat the living sh*t" out of Jon Moxley.
"The Death Riders have not helped AEW in any way, shape, or form. The Death Riders are Jon Moxley playing out his pro wrestling fantasies because he's got Tony [Khan's] ear. Because he wants to be Terry Funk? I would kick the s**t out of Jon Moxley...
"I'd beat the living s**t out of him. Fraud."

Paul Wall still having the exact Intercontinental Championship belt from the 2004 “Still Tippin’” video after 22 years is one of the COLDEST things i have ever seen.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Interesting take here "Bully".
Mox can handle himself just fine, so he doesn't need me to fight any battles for him, but if you ever have the itch to feel what it would be like to have your ass kicked so thoroughly to the point of epic humiliation, I can help you with that.
I can not only "beat the shit out of you", but do so in a way as to make your ass kicking legendary.
For you, any time. Just ask.
