Chris Jericho has never been the kind of guy to hold his council and refrain from speaking his mind. That brash personality was out in force on The Ross Report podcast this week when Y2J flat out said that Brock Lesnar has a tendency to be 'uninspired' during some matches these days. Ouch.

Pointing directly to Brock's recent pay-per-view main event with Braun Strowman at No Mercy, Jericho said it wasn't uncommon for Lesnar to put in a performance like that. Those comments came after Jim Ross had theorised that WWE are set on Brock vs. Roman Reigns for WrestleMania 34's main event.

Ross didn't confront the Canadian's comments head on, though he did defend the use of a single F5 to beat Strowman, claiming it makes the move look stronger. This isn't the first time Jericho has been mouthy about Lesnar. At SummerSlam 2016, he was irate over Brock's rough treatment of Randy Orton too.
