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. And the whole idea is for him to be worn down. First he went against a guy whose specialty was a chair, then he went against a deathmatch legend, now he has to go back to the cruiserweight style... something he hasn't done in years against the man he unmasked... One of the Labors is gonna involve him fighting Lance Storm isn't it?

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. Unfortunately Saturn's health is pretty bad or at least was

Jericho: F***. Well, I’m good, needed some time off in September anyway.

Which is still an impossible challenge...just not for the reasons it used to be.

I was trying to think of an opponent from Jericho's past and a stipulation for it and all could come up with was making him let Gedo drop him on his head lol

What I would love is if Ciclope came out with Juvi, and a few other luchadores, and at the end of the match he tears off his mask, it's Dean Malenko, and he helps Jericho win.

The Juice is Loose! And also, as someone said, he just about survived a damn deathmatch where he was beaten with light tubes and thrown into glass.

One of the Labors is gonna involve him fighting Lance Storm isn't it? Non-zero chance of Lance doing that, honestly, which is nuts. But yeah, I love that MJF is trying to break Jericho physically, much like how he tried to break Cody mentally with the belt.

They should get Lenny Lane to come back wearing the Juvi mask, and for Jericho to stiff him on the payment again.

Has Juvie wrestled much lately? The latest match I could find was him wrestling in 2018, where he looked in great shape and could still move very well. So I assume if they are letting him be on National tv that he still is in good shape.

Labor no.5 is that Jericho has to use every single one of his 1,004 holds in the match.

One of the Labors is gonna involve him fighting Lance Storm isn't it? Exactly. I mean, yeah, MJF wants Jericho to lose, but at the same time, he's throwing him out there in matches designed to take their toll on his body. Because MJF is the smartest heel in wrestling. He wants to win, but knows how crafty Jericho is, so he might find a way to beat his guys. But if every match sees Jericho getting beaten down and hurt, eventually, it's gonna take a toll. And Jericho has no idea who or what's coming next. MJF does. So he can go out, act outraged that Jericho won, because of course he is, but then have another trump card waiting in the wings. By the time Jericho gets to MJF, there won't be much of him left.

I feel like we're getting Jericho's greatest hits. Maybe we'll get high ponytail Jericho next week. Maybe Labor 4 we get Y2J.
