Cerebral Bore posted:And neither would Jericho, ya double dingus. He could even show up and not even wrestle. Jericho works best as an attraction who can be slotted in and out at random and who should go weeks without being seen so he can get shock moves. Chris James 2 posted:New Japan tag matches are completely skippable, though credit to the thought people didn't realize that during the G1, the annual tour that makes it more obvious than most undercard multi-mans are god's own work.

I just checked and lol Chris Jericho has wrestled 9 matches in the last two years The dude genuinely may not be able to physically handle being the main attraction of a new promotion

Draxion posted:We all remember Jericho's IWGP intercontinental title run right Made WWE fans Real Mad (less so than we're seeing currently but still), beat up Naito multiple times, fought on a cruise, and tapped out EVIL. It ruled, needed less being mean to EVIL and more embarrassing Naito and much more making WWE fans mad though

Don't make your champ wrestle every show, what the gently caress is wrong with you people.

Yeah but a champ who literally doesn't wrestle isn't a draw How long can AEW sell tickets with "See our champ I dunno maybe cut a promo" for months at a time

That match with Okada felt like the opposite of a big deal. I would entirely change my tune on Jericho as champion if he had goons, though. This is a perfect role for the Best Friends.

Have your champ roll up, cut a promo, get into a fight. They did that for like 4 months with Steve Austin chasing Rock into WMXV(and the only match on the card worth a drat btw). Its all in the presentation and context.

We know nothing about how the weekly show will play out but continue to think the sky is fallin'

Mel Mudkiper posted:A. There is no reason to be so insulting over a wrestling argument Oh no, not forums  Besides that, you seem to be incapable of grasping that you can, in fact, do poo poo differently than the WWE does given that you brought up Lesnar entirely unprompted, and your opinions are dumb either way because you're literally arguing that devaluing your champion by making them just another guy or gal as opposed to the literal best wrestler in the world that you have to earn the right to even face is a good thing.

Fighting champions are cool, but should strictly be limited to babyfaces (and not even *every* babyface champion). Heel champs absolutely should not be fighting every show.

What if in addition to the Best Friends being Jericho’s goons, what if Jericho also came to possess a whistle that allowed him to control Luchasaurus?

I guess I should rephrase: don't let your champ work meaningless matches. When the champ hits the ring, its like God herself is passing out tablets of wisdom. The entire planet stops and watches. If you cannot maintain that aura as a champ you are doing it wrong. Everyone that put you in that spot should feel badly because they've failed. And there are no failures in wrestling.

The champ doesn't have to have big meaningful title matches every week, but if you're trying to build a reputation for a brand new title I feel like giving it to a fighting champ gives it some credibility

Jericho looked awful and slow at fftf and the Judas Effect is trash. If they're going to put the title on him, which they will, I would rather they do it sooner that later before he totally breaks down.
