Jericho cannot be harmed by losing and certainly cannot be harmed by losing to someone as insanely over as Orange Cassidy

Yeah, Jericho had absolutely nothing to lose there. Unless you plan to IMMEDIATELY put him back in the title picture and even then Jericho doesn't lose credibility by losing to one super over guy and title shot qualifications are... flexible.

My only worry would be what you do with OC if he beats Jericho since you'd want to capitalize on that and I don't see an obvious direction for him.

Completely agree with you, but they're absolutely saving OC's big win for when they have a crowd

I always thought this sort of stuff was cheesy when WWE did it and really didn't expect AEW to actually make goofy charity stuff entertaining

Its kind of a shame that lady had such standard favorites and didn't name her puppies Jack Evans and Diamante.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
Well

I needed that

Even though i now saw Orange Cassidy lose twice in fifteen minutes.

Nonsense. I have not yet begun to defile myself.

I was honestly okay with everything in that match except the orange juice spot, since I have no idea how that wouldn't be a DQ. Even the announcers were noting Aubrey looking right at it

this glorious monument

So yeah when the chips were down ultimately Jericho didn't take a singles loss to either Jungle Boy or Scorpio Sky either. He's only lost to Moxley and his next loss will probably be to Moxley again.
(Also somebody here did subtlespoilers a few days ago so I was 99% sure what was going to happen anyway).

with that match against Jericho, OC should be able to go over anyone in AEW that's not Moxley or Jericho, so I'm hoping to see him go on a hot singles run, or maybe mix it up for the TNT title

I keep going back and forth on this and the longer this goes on the more I feel like you'll get just as a big moment when it's the first time it happens with a crowd.

do we believe AEW would put big Plat on OC regardless of his t-shirt sales?

he might have a hard ceiling at TNT champ

I think there's fundamentally an odd and contradictory idea to make the decision to run shows without crowds but not want to pull triggers without a crowd. Where does that leave you?

They were willing to debut Brodie and FTR (and Archer?) and Cage and give Shida the title so I don't think that's AEW's fear. I think they just didn't plan t put OC over there because there was no clear next step. And Jericho is working with younger talent and making them look good, but he's coming out on top 99% of the time. So that's where we are.

It's going to turn against Jericho eventually if every match with him is the same old song and dance. No one wants super cena anymore, even if it's the cheating evil super cena.

Chris Jericho is presented as one of the best wrestlers in the company and he has a 3-1 singles record this year, one of which was a squash against a jobber.

A top guy winning TV matches is not bad booking
