Jericho wasn't enamored with the idea of losing to Chyna, but knew he had to comply, due to his lower standing in the company. He still put his best foot forward en route to his defeat, and the fans in Detroit expressed far more love and appreciation for him than Chyna that night. As he wrote, "Even though the office and the locker room didn't seem to believe in me, the people still did."

Jericho also noted that once both participants were back in the Gorilla position after the match, Chyna accepted congratulations from the assembled throng of peers and agents in the area, but never deflected any of the love to Jericho for putting said match together.

It's custom to at least acknowledge the person you worked with following a match, if not put over their hand in it to the people that matter. According to Jericho, Chyna did nothing of the sort, "smiling as if she'd just wrestled herself."
