What's the story?
Ahead of their planned match at NJPW Power Struggle on November 3rd, Chris Jericho who is the current IWGP Intercontinental Champion had some harsh words for his future opponent EVIL.
He stated that while this will be the biggest match of EVIL's career, it will just be another win for Chris Jericho. Jericho also revealed that he went after EVIL because Evil had the heart to attack him after his match with Tetsuya Naito.
In case you didn't know...
Chris Jericho won the IWGP Intercontinental Championship by defeating Naito at NJPW Dominion this year and is currently feuding with Naito's stablemate Evil.
The heart of the matter...
Chris Jericho ripped on EVIL and had a lot of strong words for the member of LIJ:
"It's the biggest match of your career, EVIL, And it's just another match for me, you're just another guy on the list of people I've beaten over and over again. From The Undertaker, to Naito, to Shawn Michaels, to Eddie Guerrero, now, EVIL. You get to be on the list, man, you get to be on that prestigious list of people who got beaten by the greatest of all-time. It's good for you, but it's also bad for you because I'm gonna kick the s--- out of you."
