During a strong Raw contest between The Miz and AJ Styles, Chris Jericho sat ringside and did guest commentary, offering insight into "The Phenomenal One's" skills, but also maintaining that no matter where a talent has been before, WWE is a whole different ball game. Jericho's musings were interrupted, though, when Styles caught Miz with a spinning back fist. Thankfully, this one didn't knock out any of Miz's teeth, but it was hard enough that JBL compared it to the spinning back fist of Japanese legend Kenta Kobashi (simply referred to as "Kobashi" by the announcer). Chris Jericho then remarked that Styles's back fist feels like Kobashi's, too. The only problem is that Chris Jericho has never wrestled Kenta Kobashi. Jericho competed in Japan, but never for All Japan Pro Wrestling or Pro Wrestling NOAH, the two companies for whom Kobashi wrestled almost all of his career matches. Pro wrestlers lying - I don't believe it, either.
