AEW Star Chris Jericho believes Nick Gage went far too extreme with the stipulation. The leader of The Inner Circle thought of handling the matter violently due to Gage's extremity.
Speaking on a recent episode of Talk Is Jericho, the AEW star discussed numerous topics, notably his match against Nick Gage during the Fight For The Fallen episode.
Chris Jericho explained that Gage kept using weapons like glass tubes to such an extent that he felt things were getting excessive. However, The Demo God realized that the GCW star wasn't doing it intentionally:
“And then, before he goes to get more light tubes, he comes back and does it some more. And I’m like, ‘You’ve done it enough, dude.’ He came back the second time, and this time, he was really getting me. If you see this one here, this is not a razor. It’s not a gimmick. It is a literal light tube glass abrasion from that sticking, and that’s why I was like if this motherf*cker keeps going. I’m going to have to kill him because enough’s enough already. But I don’t think he was doing it maliciously. That’s just him in this zone,” Jericho revealed.(h/t- WrestlingInc)
