Loss Posted November 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 Chris Jericho dispatches a cameraman to follow him to a room where he has Chyna tied to a chair. He does his first serious promo (his first serious promo ever?) by yelling at Chyna. This was pitched by Jericho as a way to start making his character more serious. He wants Chyna to say he was the better person and she refuses so Jericho smashes her thumb multiple times with a hammer! Pretty wild angle.

Tim Evans Posted September 5, 2015 Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 Chyna's selling of the hammer shot is something else. The makeup job is pretty extreme and Jericho comes off like a madman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingus Posted September 5, 2015 Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 Watching this segment at the time, it felt really creepy in a bad way. Of course all wrestling is fundamentally based in violence; but having a man tie up a woman and then torture her with tools... that's a whole different level of violent shit. Jericho was acting like a 70s-rape-movie villain, not a wrestling heel. And I damn near stopped watching the show when somehow this turned Chris BABYFACE for their next match.

Zenjo Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 A torture porn segment where Jericho ties up Chyna and attacks her thumb with a hammer. Yeah this is the sort of thing you should be showing to kids. The Attitude Era continues to plumb the depths of bad taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loss Posted October 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 What's amazing is that this is sort of what turned Jericho babyface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteF3 Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 Jericho was on his way to turning babyface already, and this feels like a pretty desperate way to undo that. I would say that they should have done something like this in the ring to have more effect, but that would probably just get the crowd on Jericho's side even more.

Superstar Sleeze Posted March 18, 2018 Report Share Posted March 18, 2018 I did not think it was a very convincing performance by Jericho. He should sounded more like a lunatic. He was too coherent. Chyna actually did a great job. Pointing out she would just be lying and she did a great job selling the hammer shot. Pretty big misfire here. Jericho has the guts to try crazy things so I give him props for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
