Bully Ray And Tommy Dreamer Break Down The Breakup Of JAS

During the most recent Busted Open podcast, hosts Bully Ray and Tommy Dreamer shared their thoughts on the dissolution of the Jericho Appreciation Society during the last episode of AEW Dynamite (per Wrestling Inc). Dreamer expressed his own appreciation for the segment and Chris Jericho’s leadership of the stable, while Ray offered his view on where things will likely lead for the departing members. You can find a few highlights and listen to the full podcast episode below.

Dreamer on the events of the breakup: “I enjoyed the segment. I have enjoyed everything that Jericho Appreciation Society has brought to the table — that’s also because I know Chris is a stickler for detail, and if you think about it, he gave AEW validity when he walked up to that podium. The guy has continued to crush it each and every week, and he has gotten over not one but two groups. He’ll get anything over. He got his cruise over. That’s Chris Jericho.”

Ray on the future of the former stable members: “Whenever Jericho is not with the JAS, they are lost puppies. They don’t know where they are. They are all younger, but they need Jericho there to help them, to continue to guide them. The only one I think could truly survive on his own is Sammy because we’ve seen him get over without Chris around.”

Ray on the execution of the segment within the greater scope of the full episode: There wasn’t that big match feel, there was something missing in the arena. I wonder if the JAS segment just drew people down a little bit where they found it difficult to get up for The Hardys and The Bucks.”
