Great Debate: MODERATED BY ERIC BISHOFF!

Jericho looks great in his suit

1. Why do you hate each other so much?

He says thanks for dressing for the occasion. Orange puts on a clip-on tie. Jericho talks shit about Cassidy. 

1. Who is the bigger wrestler and bigger star? Jericho says its him, of course. Cassidy says nothing. 
2. Bischoff asks about climate change: Jericho says this is stupid, has nothing to do with anything. Cassidy spews some facts about climate change and how bad it is. 
3. Why is OC so popular? Jericho goes off on smart marks, says he’ll go back to being mr jamba juice and jericho won’t tip him. 
4. Why does this rematch mean so much to both of you?

OC says HEY CHRIS SHUTUP. He says Jericho tried to embarrass him, but he doesn’t care. He does care about the match, because its the biggest match of his life- but also jericho’s life. What if Jericho loses to the guy who puts his hands in his pockets? He gets intense. Look at the man who’s going to embarrass you. 

Britt Baker with MJ jersey on, she says Swole has to fight Reba. Baker forces her to get in the ring. Reba does well looking like she doesn’t know how to wrestle, but she dominates Swole early. Reba misses a moonsault, Swole hits Reba with Dirty Dancing. *½

Mox DECKS darby to start. Darby has blood coming out, Darby gets up, slaps back, gets killed. Big chops.

Darby has the best suicide dives
