10 Best Wrestling Matches Of The Week (July 11)
3. Chris Jericho vs. Neville (Beast In The East)
Chris Jericho signed on for a WWE tour this summer that originally did not plan for any televised matches. As Beast in the East came closer to fruition, one lone Y2J match became a broadcasted gift for all of us wrestling fans.
Neville is a highly athletic performer who blended wonderfully with the Fozzy frontman. This match was a perfect show opener that reeked of creativity. The two were reversing so many maneuvers in unique ways, like when Jericho halted a Neville hurricanrana attempt, then shifted his opponent into the Walls of Jericho.
The ending saw Neville going for his Red Arrow, but Jericho lifted his knees to block the move. He then put Neville into the Liontamer for a submission victory.
The Jericho win was totally unexpected but doesn't take away from a very good performance by both men.
