![]() ![]() The way Jericho wrestled the match seemed similar to how the Great Muta would try to injure or maim his opponents instead of getting a victory. After three attempts, Omega was cut open. Eventually Jericho wedged a chair in one of the corners of the ring and proceeded to throw Omega face first into it. Omega would get in a little bit of offense, but Jericho always seemed to have a counter. Jericho even grabbed a camera and filmed himself flipping off the crowd.Īll of the screencaps below are from NJPWWorld.Com. ![]() Jericho played the heel throughout the match with various tactics, like attacking the referee and the referee’s son, who is a “Young Lion” - basically a wrestler-in-training. Jericho got out of the way at the last minute and Omega crashed. Omega went for a dive onto Jericho when Jericho was laid out on the announce table. Most of the early portion of the match took place outside of the ring. Before the match even started, the two had to be pulled apart so the bell could ring and the match would start. The No-DQ stipulation would seem to benefit Jericho since he was the older of the two and not quite as spry as he used to be. ![]() Rarely does he find himself in these No-DQ types of matches, and it’s been a very long time since New Japan had a match that could get this violent. Omega’s matches can range from comedic to very serious athletic affairs. The match was announced to be a No-Disqualification match, which meant that this wasn’t going to be the usual Kenny Omega match. They clashed again at a press conference, which saw Jericho toss a table at Omega. The attack left Omega a bloody mess and showed a different side to Jericho. I was proven wrong again when Jericho showed up in Japan to attack Omega after one of his matches. Jericho’s been quoted on several occasions as saying that he would only wrestle in WWE, so the moment this happened was very surreal. Like many others, I was proven wrong when a video aired of Jericho challenging Omega to a match. I honestly thought they might have a match or interaction on Jericho’s cruise that he has planned for later this year. The build for this match was beautifully done with the rivalry starting on Twitter. This was largely due to interest in the Alpha Vs Omega dream match between Chris Jericho (Alpha) and Kenny Omega (Omega, obviously). Wrestle Kingdom 12 has come and gone, and New Japan Pro Wrestling picked up some new fans along the way. ![]()
