Hook suplex city'd the fuck out of the old man

Taz must be so fucking proud.

He killed Jericho 


viralbop

Favorite dialogue from the match: "Hook was just punching him in the throat."


TheMTM45

That was fun. Nice win for HOOK

> because Jericho was involved if you find someone un-entertaining i don't think that's a bad reason to think it's "bad and wrong" when they're on the screen


Cymraegpunk

I don't even like Jericho (admittedly mainly for thinking he's a bit of a creep reasons) and even I think some of the reactions where a bit ridiculous. You'd think we'd watched an all time stinker instead of a middle of the road TV wrestling match that made the young guy look good.


space_peg6549

Rather it was just hook killing jericho


Stumblebee

This feels like a big win for HOOK. Say what you want about Jericho, but him losing still carries some weight.


Impossible_Fox_3676

Look what it did for Action Adretti


man_with_known_name

I’d argue Action is more well known thanks to the win vs if he didn’t get the win.


Leoxslasher

Well if Marko Stunt defeats Chris he will also be a bigger personality but it won’t do any more than that. It’s what you do with the wrestler after the big win, Tony just forgets them and switches to pushing a new rookie


man_with_known_name

I’m not disagreeing but if the argument is, is Action Adretti is a bigger star before or after the Jericho win, the answer is obvious.


MagicMoocher

Jericho got suplexed on his head 18 times and lost via roll-up. Ok dude....


thecolbster94

Gotta protect the image of the out of shape 53 year old alcoholic


NotYujiroTakahashi

Dick Togo & Jeff Jarrett would be proud


thecolbster94

lmfao it's totally that, isnt it?

School-boyed is not a clean victory. It’s just says Hook got lucky


PintmanCostello

Hook basically dominated Jericho, and you're still complaining. Some of you will just complain for the sake of it at this point.


MagicMoocher

I praise AEW 99% of the time man. It's OK for me to not like one thing on the show.


rocketsauce2112

Hell yeah. This match fucking ruled. Jericho be like: Oh fans are deciding they're tired of me and think I've gotten stale. Well I'm going to have a totally different presentation that is really reminiscent of his WCW period with his entrance and mannerisms, I'm going to get suplexed a bunch of times on my fucking head, I'm going to totally put over this very popular young babyface, make him look fucking fantastic, still hit my awesome Lionsault, get the crowd hot for a couple of my big spots, then lose totally clean to an inside cradle. People will still find some way to complain because it's Jericho, but y'all I've been watching this dude kill it since I was in middle school. He's one of the greatest wrestlers in history. He has built up so much goodwill with me. I can never act like Jericho is anything less than an all-time great even when he spins his wheels for a bit.


HugoTheHornet88

I'm huge fan of him. He's had an amazing career. But I'm also very tired of him. The audience is clearly tired of him. A break would do him and the AEW fanbase good.


rocketsauce2112

He's probably going to be retired before too long. I say, enjoy him while it lasts. At his age, the more time you take off, the harder it is to come back. He's in great shape. He's being paid a lot of money. The time to use him is now, in whatever the best way is to use him.


academicfuckupripme

A smart political move from Jericho to earn back some good will. Still should have ended via a proper pin and not rollup, though.


HatchettheFly

A roll up is a pin...


academicfuckupripme

Well, you get what I mean. A roll-up has the connotation of being flukey. It doesn't carry the same weight as a standard pin.


bucsfan4ever12

You people are neverrrrrrr satisfied

ThisHumbleVisitant

Looked like a human suplex machine out there but I digress


ajtct98

I think we will all have to wait until next week to see if HOOK has been allowed to escape the Jericho Vortex But that this ended in a roll-up has me worried ngl


ShortyBus124

HOOK should've squashed him


billingz23

Hook skips leg day


IntelligentAd5460

this shit sucked


YoAadiBro

They’re gonna kill u but you’re absolutely right


NameNameson23

What, you didn’t like the slowest suplexes of all time, some bad botches, and then a roll up? How dare you
