10 Wrestlers Who Absolutely Love Moments You Hate
9. Jericho Thinks His Barbed Wire Experience Was Good For The Business - AEW Dynamite Fyter Fest 2022
Seemingly out of the gates, what could've been a genuinely barbaric Barbed Wire Everywhere fight between warring bitter rivals Eddie Kingston and Chris Jericho during Dynamite: Fyter Fest Week 2 this year, soon devolved into an over-stuffed cauldron of unwanted chaos as The Jericho Appreciation Society inevitably intervened - despite their one-time Shark Caged status - and the titular savage tool found itself being largely nullified due to cheap looking set-pieces.
Yet, that still couldn't keep Le Champion from claiming that the largely criticised attempt at intense pro wrasslin' violence was actually a "good for the wrestling business".
As the broken nose-suffering star put it to Absolute Geek Podcast later down the road (via Fightful):
"... I think everyone enjoyed it and those types of matches are good for the wrestling business because people get a little bit too 'Oh, it's not real,' and someone gets cut on barbed wire and it changes people's perception."
It must be said, that there is a way of delivering the sort of aforementioned brutality that can make an audience sit up in their seats and wince whilst also giving them a deeply entertaining bout which tells a rather compelling story.
This wasn't it.
