Jim Cornette says "nobody gets over" feuding with WWE legend in AEW, dubs him 'kiss of death'
Wrestling veteran Jim Cornette believes no AEW star ever gets over when feuding with a WWE legend. The star in question is Chris Jericho.
The first-ever AEW World Champion has been part of the promotion since day one. He has feuded with several stars including Kenny Omega, Jon Moxley, MJF, and many more. The latest wrestler joining the list is former NXT Champion Adam Cole.
Jericho and Cole have been feuding since the latter returned from a concussion injury. This past week on Dynamite, following an eight-man tag team match, the Panama City Playboy rushed to the commentary booth and attacked The Ocho. This continued backstage until Adam Cole was taken away from the arena.
During the latest episode of the Jim Cornette Experience podcast, the veteran shared his thoughts on the segment. He claimed that every feud that Chris Jericho is involved in follows the same pattern:
“They have made him (Adam Cole) look like a small, tiny simpleton and done nothing interesting, and the Jericho group is the kiss of death because it’s always the same thing. They will do a WWE, sports entertainment style angle where they just beat somebody up unmercifully with no one trying to help, and it’s the same thing every time. Then, who gets over against Jericho? Nobody,” Jim Cornette said. [H/T Inside The Ropes]
