I don't see why Jericho hated this match. I mean yeah, it sucked for him not being able to see out of the mask, but the ring work was good . . . not Jericho good, but still pretty good.
And as for the comparison between collegiate freestyle/greco roman and pro wrestling, technical pro wrestling is a completely different thing. You're a fucking mockery, asshole. Go tell me that every Japanese and Mexican wrestler who earns less money than Cena sucks. Then go tell everyone else. See how many people you can get to laugh at your childish opinions.
@Draykid ok then,every Japanese and Mexican wrestler who earns less money than Cena sucks, because its a business and your goal should be to make the most money you can, anything else and youre a M-A-R-K, you wanna know why keiji mutoh is a bigger draw than tanahashi?? because mutoh doesnt has a personality and character and didnt get shanked by his bitch, not because mutoh can do a moonsault
Hahahahahahahaha. You're like a child. CM Punk was one of the only heels in the time he was around to actually remain a heel, in the company, cutting regular promos, getting real heat for an extended period of time and won a few world championships. And yes, JBL worked some incredible matches. And the fact that you have the balls to diss Eddie Guerrero who is universally loved in pro wrestling only further proves your stupidity.
@Draykid cm punk was a shitty heel who got cheered, thus failing at his job, him leaving will not affect business in any way shape or form, hes not going to tna and roh is no competition in any way shape or form
and mutoh is a bigger draw because he's just flat out better overall and has a non faggot character, and jbl hasnt ever had a good match, he was shit and didnt draw shit, only reason he got pushed was because he was rich in real life and buddies with vince
@Draykid First of all steiner is a REAL wrestler, not some play pretend wrestler like jericho, who would get his short ass kicked in a real wrestling match
Number 2, Steiner is a legend, which jericho is not and in his prime a WAY better wrestler than jericho ever was, so in short steiner >>>> jericho
@Draykid speaking of booking, everytime steiner faced jericho, guess who was booked to go over?? not the midget from canada, but the all american wrestler from michigan
jericho is a nothing, a midcarder at best, as proven by his abysmal run as undisputed champion
@BigBlackBootyDaddy Oh yeah and Scott was a SUCH a wrestling superstar despite having nearly zero mic skill, can't wrestle a match without botching a move, and having like 5 good storylines in his career.
If it wasn't for Scott's body NOBODY would give a shit about him.
@BigBlackBootyDaddy Reading your comments is hilarious. I would just like to say that Steiner, in his day was a decent tag team wrestler on HGH. Now he's a terrible worker on HGH. Jericho is an all around better worker, always has been. Case closed. Calling Jericho a midget is funny too since Steiner only has a couple inches on him lol.
How many world championships does Steiner have? And when did he hold that single championship? In the dying days of WCW, that drew pretty much zero since they had to give tickets away to fill arenas.
Steiner's abysmal match with HHH at Royal Rumble 2003 is enough proof IMO.
And Mutoh gets a bigger draw because he spent years wrestling matches against legends and giving some of the best moments in pro wrestling history in order to build one of the most memorable characters ever. And, in case you never noticed before, people care as much about his shining wizard and moonsault as the character itself.
He wouldn't have been booked in a winning effort against nearly every legend in nearly every major pro wrestling country if he WASN'T one of the best ever.
He also looked real good working half of the technical matches in the last 5 years of WWE history. He also looked real good every time he pushed the wrestler he was supposed to brilliantly.
@Draykid and not drawing a single fucking dime and being in vince mcmahons own words the WORST drawing wwf champion of all time, all his technical bullshit didnt mean shit when nobody will pay to see him ass,jericho is nothing but an overrated midget
By your measure, Cena is one of the greatest wrestlers ever then, which just goes to show how unintelligent you are. Highest-paid, highest drawing =/= best. There is zero correlation. If there was, Hogan wouldn't have earned a cent.
@Draykid it's a work you fucking idiot, it's FAKE, not to mention a BUSINESS, therefore the person that draws the most money is the best, nobody gives a shit if you can do a goddamn 630 moonsault if you cant put asses in seats, and if it came down to it, vince mcmahon would have rather have cena then jericho because cena makes MONEY, jericho doesnt, end of story
Just because it's a work doesn't mean technique doesn't factor into any of it, you fucking retard. You know what else is a work? Hundreds of boxing matches, asshole. And given the fact that thousands of fans of technical wrestling know Jericho is one of the greatest technical wrestlers ever, on par (as a WRESTLER, not as a money cow) with guys like Kurt Angle, Chris Benoit, and any other technical wrestler you can think of.
@Draykid you idiot, if people gave a shit about "technical" wrestling, they would go watch the real thing at a high school gym instead of the shit on tv, benoit was a "technical" wrestler too and he put the biggest black eye on the wrestling business of all time, so fuck him and kurt angles a pilled up drunk so his opinion dont mean shit either, jericho is a non drawing midget, a midcarder at best, hulk hogan is the biggest name in wrestling because he put asses in seats, jericho never did
Right, and that's why CM Punk has been one of the top heels in the WWE, and why Kurt Angle, Benoit, JBL, Eddie Guerrero worked some of the GREATEST matches ever in some of the most legendary storylines ever, and why Daniel Bryan, Punk, Jericho and all those legends made it to the WWE, and why ROH exists, and why in Mexico and Japan, technique and wrestling ability reign supreme.
@Draykid jbl worked some of the greatest matches ever??, thats news to me
cm punk is one of the top heels? which is why hes quitting right??, not like it matters anyway, nobody pays to see cm punk or to see him lose, no loss really
why do you think vince is so eager to keep rey mysterio instead of cm punk?? because rey mysterio makes MONEY for vince,eddie guerrero was a drunk drug addict who made no money for vince, funny how all these "technical" wrestlers are the worst drug addicts of all
@BigBlackBootyDaddy Can I get a source on Vince calling Jericho one of the worst drawing champions ever? That's incredibly hard to judge seeing as how his reign was only 98 days. You wanna know who was the REAL worst drawing champion? Big Daddy Cool Diesel. Shocking, a guy with "personality" who isn't a "vanilla midget" didn't draw shit. You're a fucking elitist moron. Go suck Hogan's dick.
@brocklock09 It was either HBK or Diesel, I know both didn't do well but this was during an economic down period in the WWF where virtually only Bret could draw. At the same time, HBK's comeback after 02, he headlined WM23 which was one of the most bought Manias of all time.
@BarackSays Yeah, but as a champion he's not a big draw. It's not a knock on the guy, it's just that people don't want to see him as champion. They don't mind him wrestling for the belt, just defending it.
I can tell how he says this is a bad match. His footing was off a lot during the match. An he seemed to have trouble seeing where the middle of the ring was.
@arseniclullaby87 This was a gimmick that Jericho used while he was wrestling in Japan. He used that gimmick only one night. Anyone, correct me if I'm wrong.
its not an overly bad match at all, infact its pretty good but when compared to his matches in WAR before and New Japan after this it is as bad as Jericho said it was
The gimmick bombing had nothing to do with Jericho's performance (even Sasuke has botched spots in Tokyo Dome matches with Liger of all people). The reason it wasn't over was due to the fact the NJPW fan base hated it the moment it was conceived.
The crowd is fine, it's a typical crowd for Junior wrestling in the Tokyo Dome. The Japanese fans of pro wrestling are the best in the world. Actually respectful.
@bloobloo78 As i understand in Japan, wrestling is VERY popular and the crowds very unlike American crowds sit and observe. Back then, you will find the crowds were often silent even with A+ matches. Maybe the same now days but i don't watch Japanese wrestling these days.
@252Dazz252 i dont get why people keep saying that. no they don't. during good matches they get loud as hell to the point where you can barely hear the announcers.
@bloobloo78 Well, hear from Jericho himself. To the right in the related videos watch the video titled "Jericho talks about Super Liger" that should convince you.
I've been looking for this match for so long. Jericho said it was a crap match and I had to see it for myself. He botched a lot of spots but he was a little hard on himself.
Wow dude! Cant believe you uploaded this! I have been looking for it for ages since I've read Jerichos book. Apparently this is one of his worst matches ever!
I don't see why Jericho hated this match. I mean yeah, it sucked for him not being able to see out of the mask, but the ring work was good . . . not Jericho good, but still pretty good.
