Chris Jericho is brimming with thoughts and the greater part of them are entirely awesome in light of the fact that Jericho has seen enough to recognize what will work. His IWGP IC Title coordinate against Tetsuya Naito was a truly severe undertaking, however it appears Jericho had an alternate thought for the match.
Jericho and Naito were sandwiched between two other awesome matches. They were after Will Ospreay versus Hiromu Takahashi and with the headliner being Kenny Omega versus Kacuchika Okada. Y2J was on Wrestling Observer Radio where he talked about his underlying thought for his match.
Individuals considered it a “deathmatch” not on the grounds that it was in-your-face but rather in light of the fact that it was in the middle of two extraordinary challenges.
“People said, ‘oh it’s the deathmatch on the card,’ no don’t ever f*cking call Chris Jericho a ‘deathmatch.’ You know I’ll figure out a way. So I started watching Bruiser Brody tapes. I was like, ‘dude if we went out there and was like,’ I wanted it to be very quick.”
“Actually, my original idea was for it to be more of a Lesnar and Goldberg situation where it’s over in like 2 or 3 minutes. Then you put it together and kind of add some New Japan salt into it and I think we ended up going like 15 minutes with another 10 minutes of sh*t outside.”
