Guest Fight Me. Posted November 5, 2017 Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 Video: https://streamable.com/oijxe Wrestling legend Chris Jericho and Kenny Omega will finally meet inside the ring at Wrestle Kingdom 12 on Jan. 4, as the two will headline New Japan Pro Wrestling's marquee show. The promotion shared the news via Twitter: The two had been going back and forth on social media for weeks, and they had this exchange Saturday, one day before the official announcement: https://twitter.com/IAmJericho/status/926639988216868869 https://twitter.com/KennyOmegamanX/status/926825273034653698 Omega defended his IWGP United States Championship at Power Struggle, defeating Trent Barreta, before Jericho cut a promo that was shown on the big screen. Calling himself the "best wrestler in the world" and the "alpha," the 46-year-old made his challenge, which the champion immediately accepted. Jericho also alluded to a potential fight in a tweet he sent out ahead of Omega's match, and the latter promised to elaborate later Sunday: https://twitter.com/IAmJericho/status/926995199750008833 https://twitter.com/KennyOmegamanX/status/927026641817047046 Jericho hasn't been seen inside the ring since a July appearance at WWE SmackDown Live and hasn't fought outside of WWE since 1999. Wrestle Kingdom 12 will take place at the iconic Tokyo Dome and will see Kazuchika Okada defend his heavyweight championship against Tetsuya Naito in the main event. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2742586-chris-jericho-vs-kenny-omega-announced-for-njpws-wrestle-kingdom-12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willows Way Posted November 5, 2017 Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 So is this a partnership or is a similar thing to Brock with UFC? Cause im assuming Jerichos still a WWE guy. Either way this is fantastic stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BestInTheWorld614 Posted November 5, 2017 Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 I think Jericho is a WWE guy but isn't under contract with WWE. I'm sure he talked to Vince and Triple H about this. Jericho is as company as company gets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muur Posted November 5, 2017 Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 Him and Omega have been insulting each other on Twitter for a while (Reddit has been orgasmic over it) so I'm not surprised, they're probably gonna have a match with it all being a work.

The Nerd Posted November 5, 2017 Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 Going to be amazing to see Jericho go off the rails a little bit more due to be having to work with the style of WWE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willows Way Posted November 5, 2017 Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 Yeah im expecting an awesome match but not MOTY caliber cause yes Jericho is older. However i am excited to see what he can do outside of WWE limits as far as his moveset goes. Really hoping to see the Lion Tamer again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LEGION Posted November 5, 2017 Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 Im literally expecting one of the best matches of all time. Seriously. Jericho needs this imo The same card also has Naito vs. Okada and (probably) Tanahashi vs. Ibushi on it though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey D. Jiggy Posted November 5, 2017 Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 I was hoping for Omega vs. Ibushi. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AONO. Posted November 5, 2017 Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 Very strange and very interesting for sure. Jericho is past his prime, and would definetly be a dream match if he was younger. But I really don't doubt they are capable of puting on a 5 star classic. Will they? I guess it remains to be seen. And strange as in... this came out of the *censored*ing blue. But yeah, Jericho is a WWE guy and a professional. He can be a critic of them, an objective one too, but I don't believe he will have some heat or whatever. @ Creep about that getting Y2J to NJPW instead. Well it can go either way, and he can be a mediator of sorts to Omega. But as some people pointed out, it really feels also like he wants to do something in Japan. It is a part of his career that he never forgot and he is a big fan of Japan wrestling (and in general). So it has to be a cool thing for him to go back to that ina way and try some stuff since he is pretty close to retirement. But it's hard to doubt that his final match won't be in a WWE ring.

Willows Way Posted November 5, 2017 Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 Im so glad this is happening on a New Japan show. Without a doubt we will see the best match these two can put on. WWE would hinder the shit out of both of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will probably be just trash. Omega is overrated and Jericho is Goldberg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
