It’s Wednesday…you know what that means!
Y’all I’m just always so excited on Wednesdays!
We start with the sultry sound of Jim Ross, and this bleeds into the introduction of the Jericho Appreciation Society.
Out comes Jericho all alone, to await Daniel Garcia’s explanation.
Jericho’s song still gets major love. He says last week there was a bit of an issue with his favorite member of JAS. He invites one of his favorite people in the world, today, Daniel Garcia.
Garcia’s music cuts of Jericho just a tad.
He comes out looking conflicted, but the crowd chants loudly, “You’re a wrestler.”
Jericho says he is trying to be civil, and asks us to shut up. Last week, Garcia had a classic match, and at the end of this match, he slapped Jericho away an Jericho wants an apology.
Garcia says Jericho knew how special a moment it was for him, he knew how special it was to share the ring with Bryan. Thirty minutes with my hero. People are calling it the greatest, he hung with his hero for thirty minutes.
Last week, he had the match of his life, and he wants some random kid, his nephew, to feel the way he felt. When Bryan stuck his hand out, and asked him for respect, he didn’t care if people called him a wrestler or a sports entertainer, he wanted that moment, and Jericho ruined it for him.
Jericho says he’ll have many more moments like that because he is the greatest technical sports entertainer. Jericho wants him to say it, say he’s a sports entertainer.
HERE COMES DANIELSON!!!!
He takes some offense to Jericho tryin to make him something. He tells Garcia that he can be what he wants to be. He respects them WRESTLING last week, and he agrees with all of us – Garcia is a wrestler.
Jericho asks Garcia if he’s really going to do this? He’s a sports entertainer.
Garcia looks awesomely conflicted. Jericho wants to hear it. Garcia tells him to stop it. He has his mento and his hero here and he isn’t going to make his decision in public. Leave him alone.
Garcia goes to leave, Jericho grabs him, Garcia shoves him down to the ground! He still looks shocked at his own actions.
YOU DESERVE IT chant.
Garcia says although he isn’t the biggest fan of sports entertainment, but that was pretty entertainment.
Jericho has a question; why are people calling him the best. He is the greatest. He remembers every hold Stu Hart taught him, and he knows more about wrestling than Bryan ever will. EVAR!
Danielson has a question; say we ask Stu Hart who is better, what do you think he’d say. If we asked jericho’s hero, Owen Hart, who is the better wrestler? Who do you think he’d say? If we wrestled a match right here, who do you think would win that match?
Jericho tells ihm if he wants that, he’s got it. September 4, at All Out.
Bryan laughs it off as Jericho tells him that the last time he was in the ring with Bryan, he choked him out and put him out for two months and he’s going to do it again. Until then, watch your back…
And of course, here’s Hager to attack Bryan from behind with a huge clothesline!

Winner: Jay Lethal
Holy cow that was amazing! Truly only marred by the rollup ending, but even that somewhat falls in line with who Jay Lethal is being portrayed as, as well as giving an edge for the upcoming trios. I still don’t like it, but at least it can somewhat be explained.

Match Time: 12:47
Sonjay wants us to give it up for the best in the world, Jay Lethal. He tells Dax that he says it’ll be a trios match, but never said who was part of the team. He’s got the scoop. It’ll be Jay Lethal and two close, personal friends of theirs…
MOTOR CITY MACHINE GUNS!!!!
Schiavone is backstage with Thunder Rosa. She is in tears. She is heartbroken. She must step down as the champion. She is no longer able to defend the title. She will be back bigger and stronger with a bigger chip on her shoulder.

Britt asks for a mic. She says it’s a shame about Rosa. She wants to remind us though that she wrestled her entire title reign with a broken wrist, because that’s what a champion does. As for the PPV, they still have Toni Storm to deal with. Lucky for her, Toni will finally be on. PPV where someone gives a damn.

Lol.

Punk is helped out of the ring as Jon leaves through the crowd. CM Punk stops at the ramp, whispers something to Ace, and is carried up the ramp.
Christian Cage is backstage, holding his arm that is braced up. Jungle Boy still wants him at All Out, what say Cage?
Cage extends an olive branch last week, giving him one last opportunity to apologize. Jungle Boy is not smart enough to see what Cage was trying to do. He will never be as smart as Christian Cage. JB has the audacity to challenge ihm to a match at All Out, and to make things better, JB tries to deliberately injure him? That’s fine. Cage has seen it all. He’s done it all. Chicago, IL, All Out, JB will find out he is not average. Want average? Scan the crowd of Ohio. He is an anomaly, he is special, and at All Out, at less than 100%, JB will find out he is not and never will be in Cage’s league. He accepts.
RICKY STARKS IS HERE!!
He wants to get down to business. He has not been in the best of moods because he is both hurt and pissed off. Dealing with Team Taz being over, losing the FTW title, dealing with The Factory, Hobbs turning his back on Starks. He’s got vets telling him this is show business, not friends business. He understands, but he thought he was the exception. He had a friend in Hobbs, a guy who he trusted. Last year, when he broke his neck, Hobbs checked up on him weekly. A guy that wanted to see him make a big comeback, but the thing about people wanting to see you do good is that they never wanna see you do better than them.
Don’t forget, when Hobbs was playing background for Britt in a bedazzled t-shirt. Starks took him with him. If Starks ate, Hobbs ate and he’s got the nerve to blame Starks? He should have known, because when Hobbs decided to turn his back on a nightmare, he should have known. But Hobbs hit Starks in his neck. His neck! Starks was close to losing all of this again. He called Hobbs his friend. What he calls him now? A Low down, dirty, slimeball scheming snake, and where he’s from, we cut the heads off of snakes!
Starks removes his shirt, tells him to bring his five dollar ass to Chicago and fight him at All Out.
MOXLEY IS BACKSTAGE! He’s sorry, is that not what you expected? Best in the world his ass. Those that are shocked are the ones that always tryna write him off. The truth is the answer to any problem in pro wresting is Jon Moxley. Nobody can do what he does. He is pro-wrestling. He’s not just some guy, he is THE GUY! His time is now. We’re living in his time.

Good lord, y’all. This match was balls to the walls. I get it, you know…I get the distaste for the lack of selling, the indyriffic, the super flippy stuff, but the truth is, even if the story isn’t as thorough, there is still one being told, and with the right writers (wrestlers), the story is easy to digest and amazing to intake. This was no different. I said wow about eight times. Just amazing main event.
