Jericho Vs Claudio Match Discussion

[Captain Stud Muffin (BLM)]

Pretty meh on him winning as I am tired of Jericho but I will let it play out

[Deleted]

fun match, the "sports entertainer" as the ROH champion is pretty funny.

doubt anything in this run will be as entertaining as that little scuffle during the live thread about it though lmao

[Facetious]

Jericho wouldn't be champ if he wrestled Gresh. No way in hell would the Judas Effect hit

[Lizuka #BLM]

It works for invigorating interest in ROH for whenever the show kicks up, plus you could make a big thing out of the first episode having him lose it back. Be a good way to start the show off on a strong note.

... Even if truthfully I only actually want an ROH show so they'll stop doing ROH stuff on Dynamite.

[kingoftheindies]

I have said for a couple months Jericho going the ROH title route since he's pushing Sports Entertainer was the next way to go... and Ian's commentary after the match pushed that Jericho is a disgrace to what ROH stands for.

Also makes me think the ROH tv deal is very close to being announced

[Fade]

Honestly thought the match was great. Put respect on Jericho’s name. Considering his age and wear and tear, what he does, and has been doing, is kind of no-joke f***ing crazy.

Angle wise, yeah, I dig it. Kind of makes me curious about ROH.

[XIII]

Really good match. Jericho has turned back the clock. I have no problem with him holding any title right now.

[MrElijah]

I honestly thought Claudio would win it. Shit, Chris Jericho as Ring of Honor World Champion. WCW, WWF,AEW and ROH. Also is he the only guy to have matches for the WCW, WWF and ROH Belts?

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

I'm gonna say this should be Appreciation, not Discussion, these two went out there and had one of the matches of the night. An absolute banger, and honestly, it was a good decision for Jericho to win, because it sets up the Garcia split all the more

Jericho being the top guy on ROH when it potentially gets TV is crazy, but 2022's so crazy, this isn't even top 20 crazy lmfao

Hardys obviously didn't wrestle in WCW but they did win the tag titles

Yeah, putting the belt on Jericho doesn’t make sense unless they’re about to announce a TV deal or they’re using him as a sweetener to finalize a TV deal

[Convoy]

Feels like a ROH announcement is on the horizon. Or they are going to hype the rematch for ROH's next event (Final Battle?).

Also, to give credit where it's due, Bryan Alvarez called this weeks ago and got zero traction anywhere.

Matt did appear in WCW if that counts for anything.

I'm pretty sure Bryan's source on AEW stuff is Tony Khan himself or someone really close to him so if he puts something out there it's usually pretty close to accurate.

[dynamitekidd]

Great match. Jericho was working.

Alvarez also seems to pick his spots on stuff. He really nails some AEW stuff in this really low-key way that doesn't seem like it's a leak or a scoop, and then makes clear that if he's not saying something, it's because he doesn't know. I wonder if him being more of a radio personality than his peers lets him get away with admitting ignorance more, since it gives him opportunities to lambaste people from Twitter.

[Cyno]

I was shocked it happened. Though Jericho is one of those guys who would totally fit in with previous eras of ROH while also representing the antithesis of what they stand for. Whoever beats him is going to get a nice rub.

[mcmahonfan85]

i really hope they don't start playing hot potato with the belt

[The Prince That Was Promised]

Doesn't really matter if they don't get a TV deal. It was still the right decision though.

[Ecks Ecks Ringout Ecks Ecks]

Wanted Claudio to win, but that was a hell of a match, and Jericho definitely deserves credit for busting his ass. That powerbomb/rana spot was crazy.

I'll reserve judgment on the forthcoming angle. Could be a lot of fun, but it'll depend on booking and ROH's presentation/future in general.
