Considering how heavily featured multiple generations of 40+ year-old wrestlers were on this show, there were perhaps better nights for Chris Jericho to be reaching into his past to set up a monster mash with Powerhouse Hobbs, but a bit of speculation on who Don Callis' newest family member might squash is no bad thing.
Big guys from Jericho's past include an in-house Paul Wight and a long-rumoured-to-sign Bill Goldberg, and both of those could be excellent candidates to get beaten further into retirement by Hobbs if and when the match comes around.
Perhaps that makes this "Up" a conditional one, but with more important mysteries on the show, a slightly looser one with an introspective Chris Jericho was the sort of fun lowkey development this sagging Jericho Vs Callis feud desperately needed.
