5 Ups & 4 Downs From AEW Dynamite (April 3 - Results & Review)

3. LionHOOK Segment Is Bad, Again

HOOK Worcester
AEW

Chris Jericho "called out" HOOK.

He asked HOOK to believe in him as much as he believes in HOOK. HOOK again said he didn't quite trust him, but said he did believe in him - so much so that he'd requested a LionHOOK match for Collision. Jericho agreed. As for HOOK's lack of trust, Jericho also said he wouldn't expect anything less. What. What is all of this. It's terrible, circular nonsense. Just be a tag team. Don't dawdle. Or, better yet, don't be a team and have Jericho go away for a long stretch of time.

They'll be facing Shane Taylor Promotions on Collision, and as talented as that team is, they are losing because they are losers. This continues to be a desperate bid for relevance on Jericho's part, and again, the question must be asked: who is buying a ticket to watch this storyline between HOOK and Jericho to play out?

Does anybody earnestly want this?
