Best shoot comments from a wrestler....EVER.

 

 

Chris Jericho - Stated June 24, 2002 - Coloumn on his Website

 

 

All right, I've had it. You want a war? Now you've got one. I'm suffering from a bout of insomnia, so I decided to go on the web and check out the reviews of the King Of The Ring from tonight, more specifically on the PW Torch website. After reading what all of you "smarks" (and believe me, you are all still marks) had to say about my match and the show, I am

furious.

 

Everybody has the right to an opinion and here's mine. I am sick of all you holier than thou, pompous, jackasses. That's it. That's all. Baby goes to sleep now. I had one of my best matches of the year tonight with RVD, that featured 20 minutes of tremendous action, innovative false finishes and an absolutely tremendous crowd. It was everything I could've asked for in a match and it was in my opinion, an off the charts performance from RVD and myself, match of the year caliber . I was so excited about the contest and I can humbly state that we stole the show. The crowd was so into it that they were burned out after we went on, quiet for the next 3-4 matches. They ate up every move from start to finish, and they enjoyed the hell out of it.

 

But now I read the opinions of some of you. Many of you state that the match was very good or excellent. I agree. But many others are saying that the match was slow and predictable with one jackass even saying that it was one of the worst matches of my career!!! How can you honestly say that? What the hell do you people want? What is it that you are looking for? We go out there and bust our asses to entertain you (and if the Columbus fans were quiet, they sure as hell weren't during my match, they were entertained) and your thoughts were that bad?

 

Well if you didn't like my match tonight, then you are out of luck if you're a Jericho fan, cause it was the best you're gonna get, jerky. That was CJ at his finest. Wrestling at it's finest. A great 4 1/2 star performance with a tremendous build, a great crowd and an awesome match.

 

If you didn't like it, then stop watching me and stop watching the WWE and take up bowling, cause you will never like anything we give you.

 

I'm the first one to admit when my performance is not up to snuff, or when something was bad and I'm the most self critical person on the WWE roster, but tonight's performance was me at my finest. Didn't like it? Get the F out then and good riddance to you.

 

For all of you that enjoyed my match I say thanks. For those that didn't like it, I don't care cause I'm through with you.

 

I am now finished with the internet and I'm finished with this site because I hate what you marks are doing. You've spoiled it for me. Your negativity is ridiculous. You all come off like a bunch of bitter know-it alls, who won't be happy with anything we give you. Nothing is ever good enough and quite frankly I'm over it. You are the same people that are saying that Attack of the Clones is boring, analyzing every little detail, instead of allowing yourselves to be entertained by it's magic.

 

It seems that some of you wish the wrestling business would dry up and die, because some of you dislike EVERYTHING we do. Is it always good? No, but we are killing ourselves to try and entertain you and if you don't respect that, then kiss my ass. I want the business to be around forever and I am doing my part to keep it great and I did that tonight, no matter what any of you think.

 

Alot of the boys pander to you on their websites, asking for your input and your thoughts and I used to be one of them. Guess what? I'm not anymore. Think what you want. I don't care. Do what you want. I don't care. Respond how you want too as well, because I won't be reading. I don't give a damn about what you think anymore...

 

One of the best wrestlers in the world and one of the performers in the best match of the night and match of year candidate from the KOR,

 

Chris Jericho

[Guest The Amazing Rando]

dude...that was a work.

[Guest Renegade]

Could you post the match review on which he had this hissy fit on?

[Guest godthedog]

it was posted on the torch feedback, look it up.

[Guest AndrewTS]

That was Y2Jobber unable to cope with the fact that his match with RVD at KOTR wasn't universally hailed as the greatest match in pro-wrestling history.

 

In reality, only two comments there were overly critical, the rest called it good but not great.

 

The fact that he rushed to see what Torch readers thought of his match makes a great statement in and of itself.

[Guest eiker_ir]

i agree with Jericho, some people here just bitch about stuff all the time adn are NEVER satisfied. like after years and years of saying their favorite wrestler is being held down and should be champion, then that guy wins the title and they find some way to bitch about it

 

so, go Jericho!

[Guest SP-1]

*no comment*

[Guest AndrewTS]

OH yes...

 

How DARE people complain that the champ is made to clean up dogshit and play second fiddle to the banshee bitch herself.

 

Fuck Jericho.

[Guest The Mighty Damaramu]

Yeah we wanted Jericho to win the title and be credible. Not win it and have his credibility shot to worse than before he won it.

[Guest Vitamin X]

Ifh e hated that, he really should take a look at what people said after his Wrestlemania match with Shawn Michaels, which WAS universally hailed as one of the best ever in his career and was actually a ****1/2 match with importance behind it. Does anyone even now remotely remember that RVD match at KOTR? I remember it being good, not great.

[Guest Blue Bacchus]

AOTC really did suck a big one.

 

I can understand CJs frustration with Smarks and So-Called Smarks. If there was a website devoted to making overly critical statements about me at my job, I'd go nuts. That's why I try not to be overly critical unless it's really warranted (ie HHH's Title reign).

[Guest Anglesault]

I didn't like the KOTR match that much. The first five minutes were Unforgiven 2001 to a tee.

[Guest AndrewTS]

I didn't like the KOTR match that much. The first five minutes were Unforgiven 2001 to a tee.

Which was a better match, natch, even without the ladder-induced brutality. Had a (refined) ECWishness to it.

[Guest The Hamburglar]

Unforgiven 2001 was possibly RVD's best match ever. He like, sold the arm and everything, to the extent that he couldn't do his leap to the top for the 5 star. Apart from the rehash bits of Jericho's ladder match with Benoit, that match rocked the house. I'm still undecided between that and his match with Austin as to what RVD's best match was...I despised his matches with Lynn, needless to say.
