10 Times Great Wrestlers Made Themselves Look STUPID

10. Shark Cage Nonsense Makes The JAS Look Like Stupid Idiots

The whole idea behind having the Jericho Appreciation Society locked inside a shark cage that was suspended in the air during Chris Jericho's barbed wire battle with Eddie Kingston in 2022 was to keep the gang from interfering with the bloody action.

Admittedly, there was always a strong chance shenanigans would literally open the door for some JAS meddling. But it was how the team eventually broke out of their prison that made the entire concept - and themselves - look pretty dumb.

With Tay Melo and a recently turned Anna J.A.S. eventually getting their hands on the cage controls and keys to unlock the structure, it quickly became clear that a little extra rehearsal would have benefitted all involved.

The keys simply did not want to play ball. And despite commentary trying to talk folks into believing Ruby Soho may have potentially pulled off a cheeky key swap, that still couldn't change the fact that the team ultimately just slipping through the cage shortly after made everyone seem like fools.

If it was that easy to slip out, why not do so long before the ladies' intervention? The cage wasn't suspended that high up.

A quick moment of enforced improvisation simply made a bunch of undeniably talented and gloriously silly sports entertainers feel like the wrong kind of stupid idiots on the night, and undermined a big chunk of the stipulation in the process.
