WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash recently took to an episode of his Kliq This podcast, where he talked about a number of topics including the plastic bag spot AEW did at WrestleDream during the main event between Bryan Danielson and Jon Moxley.
Nash said, “Is this [autoerotic asphyxiation]? Because it looks to me like instead of pulling the bag off of his head, it looks like he’s like [making it even tighter]. I mean, it’s a plastic bag. Why wouldn’t you be pulling it the other way over your chin?”
On how the move is used in movies:
“This has always gotten heat in movies, when the guy is like John Wick, you know? But he’s bound in a chair with his hands behind his back. Maybe [AEW isn’t] cinema-based.”
On AEW now repeatedly using the spot:
“Like I said last week, this is just bad enough for your 8- and 6-year-old kids to f****** get this idea, since [AEW does] it weekly now. It’s their new go-to spot. I guess at this point people [chant ‘boring’] if you go for the rear chin so f******, you gotta pick s*** up. The rear bag spot.”
