These two don't have much chemistry. It's sort of like if I took a can of Spaghetti-Os and spread it over the top of a cheesecake.

It shouldve been a regular match, and having the PPV with several gimmick matches made the Unsanctioned match that sacrificial lamb, some fans already jumped the gun and claimed that Cole is washed...

At his condition and age could he even do anything that wouldn't kill him? He dove from the top rope and hit a guy who was lying on a table. Well, saying "dove" is generous. He kind of fell and jumped badly at the same time from the top rope. So, par for the course? It looked like a feeble old man falling.

*shrug* It wasn’t great. It’s not the end of the world that people seem to go with Jericho feuds for reasons but it did feel like a lot of holding back considering how really enjoyable a lot of the stuff was for the build, for me anyway. Yeah I got that too. I'm still wondering if Cole legit had his bell rung early on, and it effected the match, even though he was able to finish it never left 1st gear. So my thinking is either that, or they're saving the REAL juicy stuff for an even more violent match....?? I dunno. As others said this should have just been a regular match on a night full of special attraction matches galore.

But I can't say for sure, just towards the beginning-ish part of the match Cole is clearly dealing with something. Either he needed a few moments, or he was just selling the moves but it completely stalled the flow of the match, and it never recovered.

The closest comparison would be something like HHH/Orton from WrestleMania 25 where the build demanded something wilder but it wasn't quite there for some reason and whilst that was self hindered with the "HHH loses the title if DQ'd" stip, this was like getting a cat a scratching post with bells and whistles and the cat ends up playing more with the box.

I am still pissed at that match like that should have been a no DQ all time crazy match with them trying to hurt each other HHH/Orton knew they were f***ed when they resorted to hitting their finishers the first 2 mins of the match to pop the crowd

And really, it's hard to judge which was worse out of that and Cole/Jericho because at least Cole/Jericho used plunder.

But hey, at least we got Taker vs. HBK.

How many feuds are dragging on past the point of caring with no progression?
It'd be like if the first book was all about Frodo leaving The Shire.

Long drawn out title reigns and feuds is what he loves, and I can't see it ever changing.

But its only dragging until this Wednesday, is there something wrong with that?
Saraya will probably eat the lockjaw and Britt gets her revenge.

This was especially bad when compared to the Jericho vs Strong match that happened less than 2 weeks ago. That had great brawling and weapon shots, plus it was just fun. I didn't expect Jericho vs Cole to be as playful as that match, but the brawling and weapon shots weren't as good either.
Sometimes wrestlers just don't click. Chalk it up to experience and move on.

Jericho is gonna fireball Britt and it will carry on for another 9 months as Cole declares his revenge and Britt looking like Dark Man at home threatens to kill Jericho.
