Marina Shafir Comments on Jon Moxley’s Helpful Advice for Her Matches

A recent episode of the Swerve City podcast featured Marina Shafir as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Shafir’s thoughts on Jon Moxley being very helpful towards her career over the advice he has given to help improve her ring work and matches.

“It’s really cool because he just gives me little feedback after my matches. He states some obvious shit sometimes that I just don’t see. Maybe it’s just the way he’s said things to me that I absorb it a little better. His perspective on what I do is interesting and some of the things he’s suggested for me, that I tried, clicked. At this point, I have to take it one match at a time. I know my role. I still have work to do, but I’m not very far off and I’m not going to be far off for a long time. It’s going to be clicking for me, whether it wants to or not. He’s definitely helping me use that shit together. I also don’t feel like I’m stretching myself thin. this is such a special opportunity that is here now. I’m getting an opportunity to learn how an authentic me operates within this system. I need that pressure. It forces me to chill out and enjoy this process because it’s a moment in my life.

This all started because we had a meeting and they were like, ‘let us know if you need some help.’ Everyone left, I went up to him, ‘I need some help. I want to work.”
