Sur son podcast Talk is Jericho, Chris Jericho soutient que son premier “deathmatch” à vie, contre Nick Gage à Dynamite le 28 juillet, mérite au moins quatre étoiles et demi, sinon cinq étoiles sur cinq.
Malgré la controverse entourant ce duel, le match a été somme toute bien acccueilli par un grand nombre de fans. Dave Meltzer avait d’ailleurs donné quatre étoiles au match.
“We did the match with Nick Gage and came up with all the cool spots that you saw. one of my favorite matches. You talk about a five-star match. I don’t know if there’s such thing as a five-star deathmatch. Of course, there should be and of course there is. In my opinion, it was a four and a half, five-star match. If I were doing an addendum to my List of Jericho book. I [will] put it in there as four and a half stars [or] five stars. I never had a full-fledged deathmatch before. I’ll never have a full-fledged deathmatch again. But that night, we had a great one,”
Jericho est fier d’avoir utilisé le fameux “Mist” (susbtance lancée au visage de son adversaire par la bouche) popularisé par The Great Muta et, plus tard, par Tajiri. Il en a parlé à Tony Khan, qui a approuvé sans problème la suggestion.
“I was thinking of something towards the end that can really turn the tide cause Nick was using the light tubes and all that other stuff. I thought well, ‘What if I blow mist? Haven’t seen any mist in years.’ Obviously [we] talked about The Great Muta earlier. That is a Great Muta classic, vintage trait. Tajiri did it in WWE for a while.
I thought this will be really cool if I do some sort of a mist. So I told Tony about it and he goes, ‘What color is it gonna be?’ And I said ‘It’s gonna be black.’ He’s like ‘Well that’s great because Muta used the black mist once in 1987 [it] is even worse than the green.’”
