Super Liger (Chris Jericho) vs Koji Kanemoto - Part 01

The first (and only) Super Liger match. Chris Jericho wrestles as this masked man.

Japan's Tokyo Dome. January 4, 1997.

This is the match that Jericho talks about in his book (Chapter 45). I think he was a little too hard on himself, but I'll let you decide.

Part 01.

(You can find this match, and more, on the "Around the Globe with Lion Heart Chris Jericho Double DVD-R" through the great folks at Highspots.com)

@BigBlackBootyDaddy Nobody pays to see CM Punk? LMAO!

Fail much?

@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.

[mmscott9]

@BigBlackBootyDaddy Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Go back a second.

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.

@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 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.

[BarackSays]

@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.

[brocklock09]

@BarackSays Actually, wasn't Shawn Michaels the worst drawing champion the WWF ever had?

[BarackSays]

@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.

[BarackSays]

@BigBlackBootyDaddy Not to mention you say Jericho would get his ass kicked in a real fight when he has won a fight against Goldberg. Go away troll.

[BarackSays]

@BigBlackBootyDaddy At least Jericho never wore a purple thong.
