10 Most Fake Wrestling Props Ever
8. Chris Jericho's Liquor Bottle
The 2012 CM Punk Vs. Chris Jericho programme was so great on the written page.
Two exceptional wrestlers proclaim themselves the very best, which is determined at WrestleMania XXVIII when Punk retains the WWE Championship. An enraged Jericho refuses to accept the result, and, via a very personal assault that explores and exploits Punk's unique persona, the programme mutates from ego-fuelled competition to animosity-laced grudge rivalry that culminates in a violent Street Fight.
The dynamic, the talent, the stakes, the progression, the stage: it was all completely can't-fail, and yet it failed. It was broadly good-to-very-good, but most fans expected something unforgettable. The first match while very good wasn't good enough to justify the ambitious premise.
Who was truly the best in the world?
On April 1, and imagine the specific embarrassment this caused, it was friggin' Triple H.
Heel plies straight edge babyface with booze was, in theory, a great heat angle that should have made fans furious with Jericho for the transgression.
They might have been, had
A) he not slipped on his a*se and
B) the sugar glass bottle not imploded in his hands well before it made contact, missing the mark like every nine in 10 Shane McMahon punches.
