Jon Moxley’s rise through the independent wrestling scene is the focus of a new documentary arriving next month.
CZW co-owner Steve Karel’s Stonecutter Media Limited has announced that “I Fought Jon Moxley” will be released on October 13 in select cinemas and across major cable and digital platforms.
The former ECW General Manager is coming out of retirement to produce the 80-minute film, which explores some of Moxley’s “most violent, career defining matches” before he became a household name.
Directed by Brendan Amoruso and written by Maven T. Bentley, the documentary features David “DJ Hyde” Markland, Nick Gage, Rich Swann, Mickie Knuckles, Big F’n Joe, Larry Legend, Eran Ashe and Gary Walter. Karel and Markland serve as executive producers, extending their partnership beyond CZW.
The announcement also outlines Karel’s return to promoting through Stonecutter Event Promotions, with a live televised event under the CZW and UWF banners.
“[Karel] is also stepping back into the promoter’s circle through Stonecutter Event Promotions, bringing the same Moxley style intensity that defined the extreme indie circuit back to the ring under the CZW and UWF banners.”
“The live televised event will reunite a lineup of independent wrestling standouts, delivering the raw, unscripted energy longtime fans have been missing and the edgiest, most over the top arena experience in years,” the press release continues.
For Karel, the project is a chance to celebrate the foundations of Moxley’s career and the wrestling scene that helped shape him.
“There was only one way to properly send this film into the world and salute Jon back where it all started, in the ring,” Karel said. “This is a celebration of where he came from and what he built before the world knew his name.”
