Does anyone remember the match between Chris Jericho and Cesaro on the July 16, 2016 edition of SmackDown? No? We don't either, but it was one Y2J and the 'Swiss Superman' were determined to make memorable despite only being handed a paltry 5 minutes to work with.

Trying their best with such limited time, the duo patterned their match after a real WWE classic from 1994. Watching Bret Hart's infamous Raw match with The 1-2-3 Kid when seeking inspiration, Jericho and Cesaro thought they'd be given way more time and planned on tearing the house down. A mere 5 minutes later, they were out of there.

Worse, Cesaro wasn't even handed an entrance, something he giggled about on the podcast. Talk about limited, there was little even world-class workers like these guys could do with 5 minutes of TV time. Regardless, they lifted some sequences from Bret vs. Kid and tried to make it work.
