"It just comes off phony" - Wrestling legend slams recent segment involving Chris Jericho and popular star on AEW Dynamite
Jim Cornette recently criticized the technical aspect of Chris Jericho and Eddie Kingston's segment last week on AEW Dynamite.
In the segment, Kingston talked about wanting to make Jericho bleed and proceeded to challenge him again. Shortly after, Jericho popped up on screen with the Jericho Appreciation Society and Tay Conti already attacking Ruby Soho. Conti finished the beatdown by slamming the car door to Soho's right arm, further proving that no one is safe on The Wizard's animosity against Mad King.
During the latest episode of The Jim Cornette Experience, Cornette stated that AEW should've allowed Kingston to talk for a long time during the segment. The legendary manager claimed that the video patching of Jericho was pre-recorded and it looked fake.
"But goddamn, let Eddie Kingston talk about the guy for 30 seconds, 40 seconds and then if he pops up on the screen, then it's not just so obvious that the director was waiting to patch that video in until the first mention of Chris Jericho's name, it just comes off phony. They couldn't even play the music cue that was worked out ahead of time that quick in the first segment." [from 2:53 - 3:20]

While it seems that their beef ended at Blood and Guts, it only just began last week as Mad King was eager to see and taste Jericho's blood.
