Its just a miss. I mean ok he going to be more hardcore mode that night. But when the look is nothing more than a party City mask and a few lines on your face. How should I be scared of that or am I even suppose to be?

Needs a new hat, I suggest a bowler.

No thanks, just seems like plain old Chris to me.

He's a heel. I don't really WANT it to be cool, that's not really Jericho's job. He's the "sports entertainment" jackass who is so insecure, he ended the Inner Circle because he could not handle Santana and Ortiz questioning him, so he surrounded himself with sycophants.
He should never be "cool".

Dude's trying to go full Hellraiser and is barely able to reach Heckraiser.
Just stop already.

Dude's trying to go full Hellraiser and is barely able to reach Heckraiser. Just stop already. See, that's another thing where even though I still like the concept of "Heel does lame thing but thinks it's cool", it being Jericho kinda spoils it. "Old people shouldn't be dressing up and trying to be flashy." My father (and my grandfather) would both be reading him the riot act over his immaturity in doing that. I can hear their angry rant in my head.

I hated it in NJPW, I hate it here. He looks like a rich kid who wanted to experiment being a Hot Topic goth and I'm just not with it. This is up there with his evil Liger character that bombed in NJPW as his worst character.

It would be awful if he were doing it as a face, but since he's a heel, it works.
I see it as Jericho's character wishing he had an unlockable "Badass" side like The Demon, Kishin Liger, etc. and instead just coming up with this lame-ass dad rock bootleg.

More than almost anything else in life. The Painmaker is so badass!

As I said in the Dynamite thread: Jericho is one of my all time favorites. But whenever he reverts to his Painmaker persona, all I can think is:

It’s hilariously try-hard at being an edgelord, even moreso than any of Bray Wyatt’s personas.

It’s cringe. I do not use that word, and it’s overplayed, but it is.

He's f***ing Chris Gaines only less convincing
It is some of his worst work. And this time he tapped clean! Isn't he Dangerous Chris??? He is a clown, and dresses accordingly

Maybe they should've made Jericho doink. It'd be better than this
