MOX

Product Information

This book was kind of a hot mess. Many have commented that it sounds like Mox is talking straight to you, complete with wild tangents, and that is true, but this is not necessarily a good thing for a book. A vivid trip through the mind of the top professional wrestler in the business—a nobody from nowhere who achieved his ambitions and walked away with the gold and the girl of his dreams.

With plenty of pitstops and revelatory insights, including grisly ultraviolent encounters, crazy characters who became lifelong friends, and his unforgettable matches in Japan, MOX is the riveting account of the life of a brawler. It is a tale written in blood and soaked in debauchery, with a good dose of wisdom accumulated along the way.Our Italy photos include a variety of landscapes, cityscapes and candid portraits in the Tuscany region. As with its photo books, Mixbook’s calendars were consistently good across the various subject matter, producing pretty landscapes and accurate portraits. Meanwhile, pen and marker writing on the calendar grid looked crisp on the paper’s porous finish, with no smudging. I also enjoyed how the author would insert chapters about where he was mentally as he wrote the book: dealing with the pandemic, mourning the loss of a friend, relishing in what former teachers would think if they knew he turned out to be a successful, married man who spent his free time working on his book. This autobiography will work especially well for wrestling and Jon Moxley fans, but I think it will provide a fascinating and worthwhile look into a unique individual’s life for any reader. It’s a messy book that perfectly captures the messy life of Jon Moxley. Wrestling has birthed two of my favorite quotes ever, one of them alternatively attributed to Johnny Valentine, Terry Funk and Roddy Piper (three undeniable greats) is "I can't make them believe wrestling is real, but I can make them believe I'm real".

Mox is an autobiographical look at pieces of the life of Jon Moxley, professional wrestler and lover of violence. As expected, Moxley delves into his personal life and wrestling career but in a way I didn’t see coming. Reading this book felt like having Moxley speak right to me. Having heard him give interviews before and deliver countless wrestling promos, his voice came through perfectly. Mixbook was among the best-looking and most user-friendly project editing software of the services we reviewed, matched only by Snapfish. The interface offers a myriad of options but isn’t cluttered and optimizes the space by providing a roomy preview of your project. (It’s got even more breathing room if you use the full-screen option.) Mixbook offers both popup tips and access to live chat support if you get bogged down. A lot of fans are very critical of professional wrestling autobiographies. They want just the facts. They say that due to the nature of the sport you never really know how much of what you're reading is real and how much of it is performance. You gotta accept that it's probably a little bit of both or else you're a dreaded 'mark' (which is carnie talk for someone who's not on the inside). Moxley is honest about the frustration he felt while working for WWE. In a period where every match is preplanned and every promo is prewritten, there is little room for creativity. This system doesn't work for someone like Moxley, who thrives on creative freedom. They always produce great quality products, I have used them to make photo books, cards and calendars." - Deborah

Mixbook was our favorite photo book service to use overall. For starters, its software was fun and refreshingly easy to use, lowering the barrier of entry for photographers. But novices aren’t the only ones who will find Mixbook appealing. Along with being well-organized and intuitive, Mixbook’s powerful software offers a range of customization that more advanced creators will appreciate. We also liked its live chat help that comes in handy in a pinch. I don't want to be 'on the inside'. I don't want to be 'one of the boys'. I want to believe in pro wrestling. All of it. Not just the action, but the characters, everything. I love the drama. I love the magic. I love the show. I love how it blurs the lines between what is real and what isn't. And I love storytelling. wedding photo books, travel photo album templates, canvas prints, photo books for couples, baby photo albums

Moxley speaks about signing his developmental deal with WWE in early 2011 and his time spent in FCW (Florida Championship Wrestling) establishing white-hot programs with both Seth Rollins and later, William Regal. His frustrations with the creative process were nothing new by the time he had decided to leave in 2019 given his nearly year-long period on the bench in 2012 prior to being hooked up with Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns to form The Shield. Because Moxley started his pro wrestling career decades after J.R., reading Mox after reading J.R.'s books contrasts breaking into the business in the territory days and breaking in through WWE's developmental system. In other words, what happens in your everyday life matters. After all, each moment is precious and happens only once. Yet, with a lay flat photo book, you get to relive each of them. Better still, you can share more of your life with those you care about. I've been a big fan of Mox since his debut in the SHIELD in 2012. I've had a privilege to watch him at a WWE Live Show in Dubai in 2016 as well. And as a big fan, re-reading about the legendary moment he made his way through the AE-dub crowd at DoN 2019 and downed Jericho and Omega, gave me the chills. (Probably going to have to re-watch that clip for the thousand-th time)

I appreciate how honest and upfront Moxley is about his personal trials and demons. I hope the man behind the book is doing well on his continuing journey of keeping them in control and finding the proper and hopefully safe ways to express himself and enjoy life. They're examples of mad scientists throwing whatever they can into the pot just to see what has a chemical reaction. And they celebrate storytelling above everything else. The sheer tenacity of this performance is either crazy, inspiring or delusional. Or all of the above.
