I love how the major stipulation for Labor 3 is Jericho having to do a move off the top rope like this is Bill Watts WCW. …I didn’t think of that until now. It’s probably not intentional but with David Crockett backstage, I’d love for that to be the reason.

I said this before on the Dynamite thread, but. I mean "Oh no Jericho's gotta fight.... Another middle aged man pushing 50 who spent most of his mainstream American career as a jobber." Don't get me wrong, I don't know much about Juvi's career other than his late WCW days, and his WWE work, and that he's a troublemaker who gets fired a lot, but after what I just saw... This seems... Underwhealming as a "Labor" Chris Jericho & Juventid Guerrera have a lot of history. Jericho is the one who unmasked him in WCW. Maybe they will play into that, maybe not. It's actually pretty exciting to see what happens.

These matches seem backwards...

I demand a Psychosis run-in.
Shit, dial up MLW and tell them we need LA Park.

I appreciate the story of bringing Juvi back up. AEW likes their callbacks.
Although, the last time I heard anything on Juvi, it was when Silver King died in the ring during their match.

What I love about AEW is outside of WWE it feels like literally ANYONE can show up
Tonight we had Haku, Nick Gage, an NWA Womens Title Eliminator set up, and TANAHASHI on the same damn show... and now we're getting JUVI next week
I keep saying it but what an amazing time to be a wrestling fan!

MJF too cheap to get him there live so he rigs up a projection device!! BRILLIANT!!!!

Seriously though, Juvi/Jericho is one of my all-time favorite WCW matches and as many as troubles as Juvi has had over the years - mostly self inflicted - I'm glad he'll get to be back on national TV for an important angle. I hope he brings it.

It makes sense to me. Jericho isn’t a high flyer anymore, so he has to pull something out of the bag of tricks he hasn’t done in a long time to win.

And also, as someone said, he just about survived a damn deathmatch where he was beaten with light tubes and thrown into glass. So I’d say going up to the top rope would be a monumental struggle a week afterwards.

Oh man, the WCW nostalgia tripping in me almost hopes MJF brings out Perry Saturn next and makes Jericho wrestle him while wearing a dress.
