Bully Ray Draws Unique Parallel Between AEW’s Moxley and The Karate Kid

One Big Thing

WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray sees AEW World Champion Jon Moxley’s current character through an unexpected lens – comparing him to Mr. Miyagi from The Karate Kid.

Why It Matters

This comparison offers fresh insight into Moxley’s controversial 115+ day title reign, where he’s kept the championship belt largely out of sight.

Key Points

• Moxley’s message: “I don’t need the championship. I am the championship.”
• The champion rarely displays the title belt in public appearances
• His reign has lasted more than 115 days
• The approach has split fan opinion

The Miyagi Connection

“It reminded me of Mr. Miyagi telling Daniel-San, ‘Karate is not about your hands… it’s about what’s in your mind and heart,'” Bully Ray said on “Busted Open After Dark.”

By the Numbers

• 115+ days as AEW World Champion
• Multiple successful title defenses
• Zero explanations of the Death Riders storyline that satisfy critics

The Bottom Line

While Bully Ray appreciates Moxley’s philosophical approach to the championship, he notes that fans may be ready for a change, particularly regarding the unclear Death Riders storyline.
