Jon Moxley Weighs In On His Red Hood Ring Gear From NJPW Wrestle Kingdom

Jon Moxley took inspiration from DC Comics with his Red Hood-style gear at NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 18, and he recently discussed wearing it to the ring. Moxley wore the Jason Todd-inspired gear to the ring for his match against Will Ospreay and David Finlay at the PPV, and he spoke with ComicBook.com about his decision to wear the gear. You can see some highlights below:

On wearing the gear: “I’m not sure whose idea that was. But I like the pageantry sometimes, especially big shows and big fights and stuff like that. I keep it pretty simple, so usually, it’s not really my thing. But sometimes, well, I want to have some fun too. Everybody else gets to wear these ridiculous outfits and I want to dress like Liberace and come to the ring at least one time.”

On which comics he reads: “I would say I like all the Bat Universe, probably the most of the general mainstream superhero types. If I had to pick, I like DC probably better than Marvel, but really it’s probably just for the Bat-related characters and everything that spawns off of that. If you took away Batman and anybody related to Batman, I don’t know that I would like DC that much at all.”

On the Batfamily characters: “[The Red Hood] is probably my favorite because he just makes the most sense. Even though he’s nuts and he goes a little overboard sometimes, he’s very much of the opinion that why don’t we just kill the bad guys instead of just putting them in jail…. At some point you’re looking at Batman like, ‘Dude, you’re really, it’s becoming your fault [not killing Joker]. You know what I mean? You’re the problem here.”
