25 Worst Wrestling Moments Of 2024
7. The Opposite Of A Money Segment
Chris Jericho and Orange Cassidy's 2020 programme was lightweight comedy during AEW's best-of-times, but by Jericho making a literal big splash into a vat of orange juice for the big climactic moment, the company couldn't be accused of not splashing out on adequate props.
That's why, three years later and outside of the restrictions brought on by the pandemic, there was no excuse for how lame their car/coins stunt was.
Dating back to the original story, Jericho was looking for $7000 in damages caused to his white jacket, and when Cassidy paid up he did so in the form of coins dropped onto a car that - that week only - we were told meant something to the Learning Tree leader. Even well executed it would have felt fake-feeling, but well executed this was not. It turned out that the amount didn't really make for enough noise nor damage, nor was the visual remotely impressive or long lasting.
Like the dollars themselves, the whole angle fell disappointingly flat.
