Do you care about 'Painmaker' Jericho?

[champchumpchange]

This 'iteration' of Jericho headlined Dynamite yesterday.

What are your thoughts on this side of Jericho?

[bearned]

Jericho has a pretty high success rate with his ‘gimmick’ ideas but this one is a miss.

[Chiral]

Like in a "please give me twelve so bad it's good Painmaker movies" sort of way.

[HIM]

I've thought that character of his is the lamest Jericho character he's ever been in his entire wrestling career. Like, I'll take Finn Balor flopping like a fish on the ground in that Roman match over Painmaker. Get that bum outta here.

[Clash, Never a Meter Maid]

He looks like a weird antagonist in some surrealist Italian art movie with his mask and hat and bat. More than anything he makes me laugh.

[Billie Gein]

alternative option: Yes, he's just a dork with lip/eye paint.
I love 'midlife crisis' wrestling gimmicks like the American Badass Undertaker, that time Hulk Hogan started wearing the 'FUNB' Stone Cold vest, Macho Man in late 90s WCW with his harem of valets. I'm all for that stuff, I want more of it. I want Jericho to be given complete free rein over the Painmaker storylines in AEW, I want him to do everything he wants and go all the way with his gimmick because it will be glorious entertainment for me.

[The Ichi]

It's dumb and one of his worst characters.

However, I want this rumoured movie like I want oxygen.

[XIII]

I care about it for the memes and meme potential. 😂

[Hacksaw Chuggin']

I'm probably the biggest Jericho mark going, but it does nothing for me.

It doesn't matter if you care about the Painmaker because the Painmaker doesn't care about you. He only cares about violence.

[Wieners=$$$]

Don't care for it, but I get it. He's a theatrical wrestler, and wants everyone to know when he's going to be at his most violent.

I do appreciate that it's a bit of an homage to Cooper🤘

[Jacy Jayne Atomic Dog AMV]

Painmaker movie could outdraw Morbius and Kraven The Hunter

[Go 2 Sleeeeeeeeeep!]

I think it'd be better received if the mask didn't look like it came from Party City.

[Captain Stud Muffin (BLM)]

F*** no

He just looks like a big clown. Well bigger clown than usual

[This Player Hating Mothman]

Also nobody suggest ways to fix this don't you f***ing dare try to script doctor the Painmaker it's absolutely the best it's going to get. You can only ruin this beautiful cringe convergence if you try to fix any aspect of it. Making any one component better will only make the overall package worse you can't do this.

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

It's fine, like it's something Jericho, a delusional heel, is trying to sell as dangerous, in reality I think it's just him trying to be more violent. It seems like it works well though

I think a movie involving it would be some good B Horror chaos, so I think it'd be fun

[Gerard Gerard]

Not to repeat myself but he's going for Cactus Jack with it and keeps landing on Dude Love unironically.

[FinalGwen]

In theory, it's fine. Never gonna be Cactus Jack, but it's fine. But that makeup just kills it with the 'I've just bought my first eyeliner and i will use so much of it' vibe. Chris, there are people on the roster that are really talented with makeup, they can help you.

[This Player Hating Mothman]

The Painmaker is like Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way but for middle aged men

[Hypnosis]

I do like how hilariously terrible it is.
