Mercedes Moné Admits She Has Mixed Emotions Over Extreme Violence In Wrestling

Mercedes Moné speaks on the “extreme violence” that was recently seen at the AEW All Out pay-per-view.

In the latest issue of the Moné Mag, the TBS Champion reflects upon the “extreme violence” that took place at AEW All Out and how she has mixed emotions over it.

“All Out was extremely violent, and honestly, Daniel Bryan’s stuff was tough to watch,” Mercedes Moné admitted. “I have mixed emotions. When done right, that kind of stuff can tear a roof off like Daniel’s did. However, I wouldn’t want my brother Joshua to watch stuff like that, or kids, for that matter. Let’s face it, wrestling is multi-generational.

“When I do signings, I greet so many parents and their children. Growing up, I didn’t have a father, so it especially warms my heart to meet families and hear how much their wrestling viewing experiences and memories mean to them. Then again, there is an audience that loves the extreme, and you want to cater to them, too.”

Moné was also quick to point out that while fans may want to blame promotions for the violence they see their favorite wrestlers take part in, more often than not, it’s the decision of the talent in the ring.

“When you see your favorite stars going to the extreme, you may want to blame the promotion. Honestly, though, it’s the talent who will usually make the calls in the ring,” Mercedes Moné said. “While I credit talents who go to the extreme in terms of violence inflicted upon themselves for their passion and courage, I also want talent to have longevity and to graduate from this world healthy and able to function.

“Our bodies go through enough with all the bumps, not to mention the travel and schedule. Personally, I’m at a place careerwise where I’d like to avoid extreme matches – unless it’s a true big value add to the company.”
