His trust in the strength of claudio is amazing

[@Xenosthewatcher]

The fact that Chris was willing to take that kind of risk to put another man over speaks volumes as to what kind of guy he is. Chris is willing to do anything to pull a show off and he should be given all the credit in the world for it. It was an absolutely amazing match and knowing some of the behind the scenes stuff now, it's an even greater match in my mind.

[@zari5291]

True story, me and my buddy Dwayne were in the nosebleeds in Detroit for Blood and Guts, when Claudio got on top of the cage our whole row started chanting “SWING! SWING! SWING!” I shit you not he looked our way and started swinging, cool as hell but scary to watch lol!

Same I was there, my favorite chants were when Justin Roberts read that sign that said "I'm getting married" and everyone chanted "YOU FUCKED UP!"

Absolutely insane and was really cool to see, the whole team did a great job. Jericho is definitely one of the GOATs

I mean Jericho is absolutly over himself, I can't think of any other Wrestler that is in Ring in one of the biggest feuds of the year, plays his role as a heel to perfection and in real life is such a good guy and knows what's the best for everybody that is involved. Everytime I think of who is the GOAT in Wrestling I think, why not Y2J, as a Heel, as a Babyface, as a Wrestler or as a sports entertainer, he just always delivers.

[@stephaniestone2886]

You imagine Jericho slippin out of the swing and goin over!? It'd be like the bump from the old ps2 RvSD when ya fell off the fist 👊💀

I figured they did that hockey fight spot on their knees because of the thumbtacks. I remember noticing at some point that Jericho tried to stand up but couldn't.
