4 Ups & 3 Downs From AEW Rampage 100 (July 7)
Downs...
3. “Bump And Feed Guy”
Rare Chris Jericho commentary moan alert!
Usually, the JAS leader is solid on announcing duties for Rampage. Some won't mind this sort of thing at all either, but his persistent use of insider terminology this week was unnecessary. Saying, "Jeff Jarrett is over here in Edmonton" is one thing, but calling Jay Lethal "the bump and feed guy"? Nah.
That phrase implies that Lethal deliberately gets up from one bump to feed into another, so it doesn't work in the context of TV. Keep this stuff backstage, please. Later, Jericho also said the main event tag was waking the live crowd up, suggesting they were sleeping for most of the night. That one was weird.
Look, this is a minor gripe, and it's the kind Jericho himself would tell your writer to 'go f*ck yourself' (or something like that) on Twitter for. However, it's worth noting that some of his lines took away from the matches because the message clashed with what was being presented.
