Dutch Mantell is the latest name to comment on Jon Moxley's match at Forbidden Door. The Death Riders, The Young Bucks, and Gabe Kidd faced off against Kenny Omega, Kota Ibushi, Hiroshi Tanahashi, Darby Allin, and Will Ospreay in an Unsanctioned Lights Out Steel Cage Match.

There were many brutal spots in the match, but one sequence stood out. During the bout, the heels duct-taped Darby Allin to a steel chair before Jon Moxley stabbed him in his bloody ear. Moxley then proceeded to pull on the bleeding ear in a moment that made many viewers uncomfortable.

On Story Time with Dutch Mantell, the former WWE manager addressed the Jon Moxley spot, stating that it was too brutal and could force parents to prevent their kids from watching AEW programs. Mantell also said this type of sequence could also inspire a child to try it out on one of their siblings.

"Oh my god. It was brutal looking ‘cause he was tied up. His arms tied down so he couldn’t get up to it, and he had something on his ear working on it was brutal. But I think sometimes that works against you. It’s almost too brutal. And you know, there are some parents who like to peruse what their kids are watching. And that’s not for a kid to watch. So what if a kid watched that and knew where the toolbox was, and he went, and all of a sudden he’s trying out on his little sister’s ear right there, right in front of you. Because he just saw it on TV."

Dutch Mantell added that he didn't like such spots, and it could also turn a lot of people off.

"But I don’t much like spots like that because it was too brutal. I think you can be too brutal in your presentation that it turns people off. I don’t think a lot of people want to see the blood and the agony of some guy getting his ear chewed off by a damn screwdriver or whatever they had."
