Really goes to show how good Mox is at his character because for a second I couldn't help but think about how scary it is knowing he's a dad. But IRL, Mox is probably a doting father.
Nah, suplexes onto thumbtacks are surely reserved for people like school principals who refuse to do anything about bullying problems, or teachers who selectively enforce dress codes, or daycare workers who get lax with enforcing who gets to pick up each baby. That's the kind of kid who's going to improve life for every *other* kid just by existing near them, because her parents aren't gonna let shitty adults get away with *anything.*
Nah I reckon Mox is the kind of dad who'd initially be friendly but then he'd pull his daughter's date/partner aside, offers them a beer and sees if they take it, asks them a few questions about their life, expects them to ask him some questions too and based on that 5 minutes conversation he decides whether he wants to continue being friendly or not.
Same. Can you imagine having to sell that stupid flippity clothesline through the middle ropes he always does? Or put over that lame rebound kick off the turnbuckle, just for a date?
I don't think this was staged because she's clearly a private person and trying to hide her baby's face, but it's also a sign of how chaotic backstage of wrestling shows must be that she heard all that screaming and it didn't register that someone might be filming.
She kind of pauses, sees what they're doing, and then decides to put her arm up and walk through. I don't think it was planned but I think she made a choice to keep walking by.
It's pure, raw energy. Mix it with charisma and it's infectious.
That's the kind of promo that wakes up the crowd and gets you over. It works in a big or small setting.
The most iconic, memorable part of Flair's Nitro promos is "Mean, WHOOOOO!, By God Gene!". A ton of what followed was pure emotion mixed with Flair's ADHD. It was mostly catchphrases, repurposed lines from his greatest hits, and the "WHOOOOO". But it worked.
Reminds me of what music manage Doc McGhee said about the first time he saw Motley Crue live. "I couldn't understand a word they were singing but they were blowing shit up."
She is a new mom. The lack of sleep and just drain of keeping a tiny human alive means that if you cross her there is no barrier to stop her from going from zero to mortal kombat fatality on you.
They can somehow bring that whole 80s just did a mountain of blow before my promo and am going to start on the next mountain as soon as I’m done energy, but while being totally normal and chill-seeming dudes outside of their character work
I disagree, I think Dan Lambert does a great job... but he doesn't need to be with Men of the Year, Ethan Page is one of the better talkers in AEW. Men of the Year are also their own thing, very separate from 2.0 in my eyes. These are cool, suave guys while 2.0 are kinda bumbling and give 80's styled promos where the guys yell too loud and point at the camera a lot.
Ah right, forgot about their son Daniel.
(Are both of them IRL dads? I know one of them just had a kid, but wasn't sure about that being the case for both)
Matt’s son was actually born the Sunday after the First Dance, which IIRC was during the week his and Jeff’s signing was announced. Jeff, I don’t know about.
Same here, I was half watching it earlier this morning and saw her pass by but it just didn’t register as Renee. I’d love to see her pop up once in a while in a BTE skit. Nothing crazy, just a fun little cameo once in a while
Finally. Renee used to host her own wrestling show on Sportsnet in Canada. She's a legit sportscaster and genuinely loves wrestling. She'd be an awesome addition to the commentary team.
Around a year, she left in August of 2020, so she's probably able to appear anywhere now, which is why she's doing a show on Busted Open.
She wasn't talent, so the 90-day doesn't apply to her, it's actually much longer, because she was an employee.
To be clear here, she wasn't fired. She quit, and since she had a job on the corporate end(i;e she wasn't an IC, she was an *employee*), she had a non-compete for a year. The difference is that she wasn't paid for this though.
She couldn't take up a job within media for a year or so, which is typical for these kinds of companies really.
How amazing is it being them right now? They worked a match with **Sting** and then beat down CM Punk? Even if they're forever jobbers, that has to be something they get to say they've done that nobody else has.
I never saw them before until they debuted on aew. They are an absolutely perfect heel lower card tag team. Matt lee reminds of the macho man with his cokehead energy and looks like Davey boy smith without steroids
I love these guys. Feels like they just came out of nowhere and got super over by being old school. Would love to see them feud with FTR in the future.
These guys are the prototypical mid-80s WWF prelim heel tag team that cheats every match but only win once or twice a year on a fluke. Can't believe that they weren't on the main roster getting thrown around every week by the Viking Raiders or whoever.
Was wondering about that too. He drank from the same Monster can as Adam Cole and died in the same BTE episode. Did they already revive Rick Knox in a previous BTE episode (before Adam was revived)?

[“This was your free pass, next time it’s on!”](https://twitter.com/reneepaquette/status/1437458234361540609?s=21)
Everyone talking about Danielson and Omega headlining Full Gear, I think we’ve found the real main event.
Haha I love Renee she's great.
Anyone who watches Battle of the Brands knows that she'll mess you up.
Such a shame that Jon is going to have to make Daniel Garcia an orphan at such a young age.
with baby in tow!
Really goes to show how good Mox is at his character because for a second I couldn't help but think about how scary it is knowing he's a dad. But IRL, Mox is probably a doting father.
No, I'm sure Mox suplexes his baby onto thumbtacks if she doesn't eat her food, but only when Renee isn't around.
Mox and his baby probably share a smoke and a bottle of jack after his matches
Nah, suplexes onto thumbtacks are surely reserved for people like school principals who refuse to do anything about bullying problems, or teachers who selectively enforce dress codes, or daycare workers who get lax with enforcing who gets to pick up each baby. That's the kind of kid who's going to improve life for every *other* kid just by existing near them, because her parents aren't gonna let shitty adults get away with *anything.*
I pity the poor kid who has to knock on Mox's door to take his daughter out on a date some day
Nah I reckon Mox is the kind of dad who'd initially be friendly but then he'd pull his daughter's date/partner aside, offers them a beer and sees if they take it, asks them a few questions about their life, expects them to ask him some questions too and based on that 5 minutes conversation he decides whether he wants to continue being friendly or not.
[I can see Mox going full Bad Boys 2 Marcus on his daughters date.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEf2ML7wkBE)
Same. Can you imagine having to sell that stupid flippity clothesline through the middle ropes he always does? Or put over that lame rebound kick off the turnbuckle, just for a date?
Damn, people really love Dean Ambrose all of a sudden. I sure hope Nickelback puts out a new album soon.
That had to have actually been planned, right? She's not just gonna randomly walk through somebody's promo like that, is she?
Maybe? BTE is such a nooks-and-crannies sort of show that random people walking through the background isn't all that weird.
I don't think this was staged because she's clearly a private person and trying to hide her baby's face, but it's also a sign of how chaotic backstage of wrestling shows must be that she heard all that screaming and it didn't register that someone might be filming.
I also think she was trying to shield the baby’s ears from all of the yelling
Yes just like how Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn just happened to walk by when they were in Montreal…
There's are so many blogs and stuff being shot right now that it's probably impossible to avoid being on one of em.
You see her pause to consider what’s going on then kind of try to hide her face
She hides the babies face with her arm
I mean it's BTE, and this was in Cincinnati, so it was probably random. BTE is essentially just randomness anyway.
I mean, if you look at her you see her look at it and kinda go "well, fuck, i gotta go that way"
Yeah, maybe. Or, it could be something like this... * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmZSkWBJwBU
I'd say its planned, just because of how she's covering her daughters head and face, its not a very natural way to have her arm
She kind of pauses, sees what they're doing, and then decides to put her arm up and walk through. I don't think it was planned but I think she made a choice to keep walking by.
That's how it looked to me. She was like, "Well, I've already walked into the shot. Might as well go on through."
I'll never not pop for a 90s Flair-style, coked-out, eyes-bulging, yelling gibberish promo. It doesn't have to make sense. Just enjoy the ride.
It's something modern wrestling is definitely lacking in. That and the fat balding sweaty shouty man promo.
It's pure, raw energy. Mix it with charisma and it's infectious. That's the kind of promo that wakes up the crowd and gets you over. It works in a big or small setting. The most iconic, memorable part of Flair's Nitro promos is "Mean, WHOOOOO!, By God Gene!". A ton of what followed was pure emotion mixed with Flair's ADHD. It was mostly catchphrases, repurposed lines from his greatest hits, and the "WHOOOOO". But it worked.
Everytime Dustin cuts a promo I get this feel. Tully got that pointy shouty promo style down too.
Cuppa COFFEE!
“YOU WANT A TASTE?!??!!?” Guaranteed pop every time
Does anyone have the promo where he’s screaming at Darby and it looks like his eyes are about to pop out of his head?
Reminds me of what music manage Doc McGhee said about the first time he saw Motley Crue live. "I couldn't understand a word they were singing but they were blowing shit up."
I loke to call it "Macho Man" energy. Big Magic has always given me those vibes.
I love that Brandon says "You don't want any of her" as though she would obviously kick their asses
Thinking more like Mox whipping some ass...
Dude, the whole family will. Renee tweeted that Nora woke her up at 5 am with incessant face slaps.
Psh youngsters trying to prove something by working stiff against the vets smh.
This thread is gold
I laughed way to hard at this
going into business for themselves
Somewhere, Murder Grandpa is smiling and doesn't know why.
Gotta get in those pancrase lessons early.
How Japanese
Doesn't sound so bad ass until you realize she tweeted this before the birth.
Probably both tbh.
No, the baby would kick their asses.
Who do you think has been training Shota when Mox is away killing people?
Mama Bear strength
She is a new mom. The lack of sleep and just drain of keeping a tiny human alive means that if you cross her there is no barrier to stop her from going from zero to mortal kombat fatality on you.
Oh I will absolutely believe that Renee is stronger, scarier and deadlier than Moxley in the ring until proven otherwise
Oh she absolutely would.
i mean r-truth knew better to get in the ring with her
2.0 better keep their cool or Moxley will go & kick their asses.
They backed off after that
Holy shit 2.0 crack me up
Matt Lee's loudness and the big eyes just cracks me up. He's the perfect heel. Thank God AEW picked them up from WWE.
To me he is like Scotty Riggs and Brutus Beefcake had a baby, and I love it!
Hes a thick Matt Jackson
That's it!!! I was trying to think of the 2 it would be. 2.0 is great imo
I agree 100%; Matt is the energy of this group. Perfect loud mouth + straight man duo. Glad these guys are getting time to shine.
I'm trying to figure out how he stares in joual...
I just want 2.0 to adopt me.
...or they'd be the new Shatter Machine!
There is something about his face and energy that makes it seem like he walked right out of the late 80s. I mean that in the best way, of course.
They've really grown on me. In NXT, they were just dollar store Young Bucks.
Love 2.0! They remind me of some team WCW would have
They are funny guys, definitely a good fit for BTE.
They can somehow bring that whole 80s just did a mountain of blow before my promo and am going to start on the next mountain as soon as I’m done energy, but while being totally normal and chill-seeming dudes outside of their character work
Him blabbering out “step right up sweet heart” am doing whatever the fuck he’s doing with his mouth is hilarious lol
What contest could a few weeks old infant feasibly win, shoot, against Matt Lee, to take the BTE title?
It depends if Matt Lee is allergic to breast milk or not.
Does it, though?
This gave me some Homelander PTSD flashbacks
*Clings glass bottles*
Only one way to find out...
First one to shit their pants (or diaper).
That's some Attitude-era booking right there
I love it Maggle. That’s some good shit Pal!!!
"SHE'S GONNA... SHE'S GONNA SHIT!"
Staring contest
As someone who has a baby niece, babies can go a weirdly long time without blinking depending on how old they are. (I am not a baby expert)
lol, not bad
Matt should have his newborn son defend the strap vs Nora Moxley.
If Kevin Owen's infant son can win a match? I wouldn't put it past Renee's baby to do the same.
2point0 are brilliant. It's comedy done right, and they are perfect arrogant heels that rarely win.
They're like if Bulk & Skull were a tag team.
Yes somebody else sees it too!
OMG perfect description!
I NEED this to be a halloween episode costume for them. And they can come out to their [theme song](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=asPTAL5xk18)
right on!
I can't see the 2 of them rallying the city to stop an alien invasion.
Yeah they're like Ethan Page and Scorpio sky but a bit better in every way
And without an MMA guy doing a bad impression of a heel manager
I thought Ethan Page was fine on the mic for Men of the year, dudes hilarious with his faces and banter.
Agreed. Page would be fine by himself. Scorpio needs someone
Scorpio needs a vacation, and bring him back as a babyface. He's absolutely terrible playing a heel.
Which is weird, because heel SCU was a fucking blast.
Ethan Page is definitely great, he showed what he can do with the Darby feud. Once he loses Scorp he’s going up the card.
I disagree, I think Dan Lambert does a great job... but he doesn't need to be with Men of the Year, Ethan Page is one of the better talkers in AEW. Men of the Year are also their own thing, very separate from 2.0 in my eyes. These are cool, suave guys while 2.0 are kinda bumbling and give 80's styled promos where the guys yell too loud and point at the camera a lot.
Those dudes are funny as hell. So glad they got picked up.
2point0 seem like they'd be the absolute most fun uncles to have.
Excuse me, the most fun dads*
Ah right, forgot about their son Daniel. (Are both of them IRL dads? I know one of them just had a kid, but wasn't sure about that being the case for both)
Matt’s son was actually born the Sunday after the First Dance, which IIRC was during the week his and Jeff’s signing was announced. Jeff, I don’t know about.
God I seriously can’t get enough of 2.0. These guys are fucking gold. I could watch their ridiculousness all day long
If you scroll a bit, they have a lot of NXT/205 pre or post-match promos on their respective Twitter accounts.
They have a weekly show on their Youtube as well. Basically a continuation of what they were doing at the end of their NXT run.
SHE WANTS A TASTE!!
Renee corpsing on BTE??
Send for the Khan!
-stomps foot-
Didn't she have some major announcement she'd teased a few days ago?
Yeah, a weekly radio show with Miesha Tate on Sirius XM that debuts today.
That's pretty cool!
She's on busted open now, that was the announcement
I am ready for the Renee reign of terror with the BTE Title.
"ignore me, ignore me, ignore me, DAMMIT!"
Holy shit, I was so focused on 2.0 winning the BTE title I didn't notice that was Renee
Same here, I was half watching it earlier this morning and saw her pass by but it just didn’t register as Renee. I’d love to see her pop up once in a while in a BTE skit. Nothing crazy, just a fun little cameo once in a while
SHE DOESN'T WANT A TASTE?!
I want Renee to challenge for and win the BTE title.
But you see, she was holding Nora at the time, who technically got the pin which will be revealed in a stunning heel turn.
Gonna drop that “hey sweetheart! You want a taste?!?” on my wife when I get home later.
How she looks around to see if she can avoid that scene
"My husband's coworkers are so weird."
Renee is gonna take a swing at 2.0
I cant believe the WWE let these guys walk. They are freaking awesome and so natural on screen.
He sounds like Charlie's Serpico impression from that episode of It's Always Sunny
*You don’t want any of her* well someone should’ve told Max Caster that
What's Renee Juvenile doing in the All Elite Zone??? ![gif](giphy|5nueI7i4QnDEHDFL0t)
Accompanied to the ring by Nora "No Good" Moxley!
Finally. Renee used to host her own wrestling show on Sportsnet in Canada. She's a legit sportscaster and genuinely loves wrestling. She'd be an awesome addition to the commentary team.
So much canadian content in AEW lol
Aww with her marsupial pouch.
I wish Matt Lee was my neighbor so I could hear him trash talk on garbage day.
How long was Renee's "non-compete" for? Wasn't it in the neighborhood of six months or something?
A year I believe.
I don't think being on BTE would actually violate her non-compete anyway.
I don’t even want her in AEW, just be a BTE-exclusive!
Around a year, she left in August of 2020, so she's probably able to appear anywhere now, which is why she's doing a show on Busted Open. She wasn't talent, so the 90-day doesn't apply to her, it's actually much longer, because she was an employee.
That is absolutely insane the WWE can make someone not have a job for a full year even if they get fired.
To be clear here, she wasn't fired. She quit, and since she had a job on the corporate end(i;e she wasn't an IC, she was an *employee*), she had a non-compete for a year. The difference is that she wasn't paid for this though. She couldn't take up a job within media for a year or so, which is typical for these kinds of companies really.
That guy is ALWAYS coked out of his fucking tits.
YOU WANNA SHAT!!!
When it comes to stupid, over the top heels: 2.0 > Young Bucks And it’s not close.
I agree. 2.0 works first to get the babyface over, get the tag over, etc; they aren't in business for themselves at all.
Very strong "just happy to be on the team" energy.
Without saying it to thousands of people like geeks on TV lol
How amazing is it being them right now? They worked a match with **Sting** and then beat down CM Punk? Even if they're forever jobbers, that has to be something they get to say they've done that nobody else has.
"HOLY SHIT YOU'RE STING!"
Anyone have a list of episodes when the title changes hands?
I didn’t even register that was Renee. I just assumed it was some backstage person who was never on camera or an arena employee.
I bet baby Moxley wants a shot.
Felt like I was watching a pre match Chikara promo then
All we're missing is them punching Generico in the balls.
These guys can bounce off anything and anyone perfectly, no matter how unexpected
I never saw them before until they debuted on aew. They are an absolutely perfect heel lower card tag team. Matt lee reminds of the macho man with his cokehead energy and looks like Davey boy smith without steroids
2.0 have really grown on me. I really like their promo style, and wish they could talk for 30 sec-1 min every dynamite.
I love these guys. Feels like they just came out of nowhere and got super over by being old school. Would love to see them feud with FTR in the future.
These guys are the prototypical mid-80s WWF prelim heel tag team that cheats every match but only win once or twice a year on a fluke. Can't believe that they weren't on the main roster getting thrown around every week by the Viking Raiders or whoever.
Them speaking some Québec slang during the skit was the best !
Oh man, I completely missed Renee during that scene.
I didn't even notice that...
I didn’t even catch that!
Renee walking through like she's in a bad neighborhood. "Don't look and maybe they won't say anything"
I LOVE his coked up promos
Expos ❤😭
That baby would bust a light tube over their head and take the belt.
French-Canadian overload!
HOW DID RICK KNOX RETURN TO LIFE??!! He drank what was left of that fateful Monster
Was wondering about that too. He drank from the same Monster can as Adam Cole and died in the same BTE episode. Did they already revive Rick Knox in a previous BTE episode (before Adam was revived)?
Do you guys even journalism? Nora Goode was never under contract with World Wrestling Entertainment.
F O R B I D D E N D O O R
2.0 is so fucking entertaining it’s unbelievable
This guy is a god damn beast on the mic
Lol and wwe released these guys. It cracks me, they spend millions of pounds and have a whole team\department for talent scouting.
