[1998-04-09-WCW-Thunder] Interview: Chris Jericho

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

Jericho demands that Skee-a-vone calls him by his proper name in a funny moment. Jericho claims that Prince Iaukea weighs too much to challenge for the cruiserweight title and asks him to come out and step on Jericho's scale to prove it. Iaukea is within the weight limit and Jericho argues that it's not calibrated properly before finally bashing him over the head with it. Kudos to Jericho for trying to make something out of a nothing match that is really beneath him at this point.

Jericho claims that Prince Nakamaki weighs too much

 

Fixed for accuracy.

I love that Jericho calls him Nakamaki. It could come off as disrespectful but it really makes you want to see Jericho get beat up at every point. Iaukea weighs in at Jericho's demands and gets hit in the head with the scale as a result of his troubles.

Tony Skeeavone stands by with Chris Jericho, who makes an amusing reference to the fan run-in on Raven. Jericho is incensed that the fat and out-of-shape Prince Nakamaki is getting a Cruiserweight title shot despite weighing more than Jericho's slim, trim 224 3/4 pounds. Iaukea weighs in at 218 pounds, but Jericho determines that the scale wasn't calibrated properly, and does so over Nakamaki's head.

When somebody gets you excited for a Prince Iaukea match, they are doing a great job.
