“Where’s my motherfucking gang at? Nah motherfuckers the God of this shit is back in Chicago, where’s my fucking gang at” Mox’s Music hits
Mox: Now I do what the fuck I want, when the fuck I want, I thought It’d be appropriate since I have some things to say, there is only one way to do it, right here in GCW, live to your face, Nicky. And you all remember it was one year ago in this building I won the GCW Championship, I took this world championship as bait, as Nick Gage bait, and I baited you right in because I wanted to put you down like a dog because I love you. You know you say these people love you but I don’t know if they care about you as much as I do. I was willing to walk over you, step on your head, and beat you in Atlantic City so that you would go home for good because I love you. But you didn’t get the message and you didn’t get the message so this time I will put you down for good and if you hadn’t heard, the biggest match in GCW history, I have chosen October 8th and I have chosen Atlantic City, Nick Gage’s home turf in front of your friends, in front of your family because I want you to be prepared for life after wrestling cus when I choke you out, when I drop you on your head and put the lights out inaudible you talk about how you are ready to die in this ring, ‘I’m ready to die for this shit’ but professional wrestling, this gang of yours, GCW this is your life and on October 8th, your life is over”
Gage: Hey Moxley where the fuck do you think you’re going, you look at me when I’m talking motherfucker, you’re not understanding who Nick Gage is and who the MDK gang is these motherfuckers out here give me the inspiration to get in this fucking ring and bust my fucking ass every time. So Jon not only will you have to go through me, you have to go through the entire MDK gang around the world. And Jon all I got is professional wrestling, I got nothing else, so you’re gonna have to kill me or I’m going to walk out with that world heavyweight title around my waist.
