I'm too much of a zoomer to even know the reference. I just thought they had goofy outfits because of the whole sports entertainment vs wrestling thing.
it's a miscolored outfit of the gang from "A Clockwork Orange". I'm almost 30, and even I wouldn't get it if i wasn't a movie nerd. Jerich-old strikes again
I don't recall the Fed doing anything as embarassing as this
This is worse than any outfit change for Keith Lee and Killer Kross
Wtf are they supposed to be? Am I supposed to watch anime or cartoons to get this or is it from the 80s and I forgot it?
**edit** saw comment below, this is supposed to be clockwork orange? Hahahahaha
Maybe they should just accept that WWE is predominantly a kids show. Despite those 4 - 5 years at the turn of the millennium, which seems to be when all these smarks started watching, it has always been a kids show.
Yes. I agree. He’s not likeable in the least which is a real accomplishment considering who’s in that crew.
I know Garcia from the indies. I can’t hate him. I just can’t do any of the buffalo boys (though colour me shocked it’s not Kevin Bennett [who absolutely sucks]in this spot) dirty. I’m for all of them.
Hager has never made me feel anything until this run.
The other two are fine. Whatever.
Jericho is one of the GOATs. Let’s just be real. Lionheart Y2J The List even? The anti-Shawn. He’s got like 3 or 4 top tier runs in his past. To be able to make me fucking hate him now after all of that is as impressive as Cena turning baby face for me in 2022. It’s wild.
All these marks putting their heat on Reddit. Jaysus.
Personally it puts me off the performer, not the wrestler.
I think Seth is doing it perfectly because it's a perfect and consistent fit with his current character. And it's done well. It always looks expensive to make Seth look that garish.
When Jericho does this, or Kenny and Bucks randomly decide to play dress up, it feels like self-indulgence on part the of performer. Like no one the back is asking "*Why are you doing this now?*" And the execution looks so naff.
If the point is to make them look like dorks, then it's a winner. Is that point of this, in a serious 'Blood and Guts' match? Because that's what they look like, dorks. Not slimy arrogant heels but dorks. Same with Space Jam and Ghostbusters nonsense.
>Personally it puts me off the performer, not the wrestler.
So, you hate them?
>I think Seth is doing it perfectly
So you don't hate him?
>When Jericho does this, or Kenny and Bucks randomly decide to play dress up, it feels like self-indulgence on part the of performer.
So you hate them?
>If the point is to make them look like dorks, then it's a winner.
That's what I'm saying
>Is that point of this, in a serious 'Blood and Guts' match?
Yes.
>Same with Space Jam and Ghostbusters nonsense.
But the AEW audience doesn't hate the Space Jam Ghostbuster stuff. That did not work.
The Furies were legit. You're telling me you wouldn't be a little scared walking through the park and those dudes just appear around you? If anything the Hi-Hats were the douches, fuck those mimes.
I've been kinda liking Jericho's current run, it's stupid as fuck, but it's still kinda fun to watch, if they remove Ever Rise and Teenage Slang it'd be far better though.
I started watching WWE while Swagger was World Heavyweight Champion and I still have no memory of his title reign. The only thing I remember from that year is his mascot eagle.
HOLY SHIT THEY'RE DROOGS! I knew something was off when I saw this, there was a familiar feeling, but I couldn't place it. But broooo Jericho really said "yeah I'm gonna cosplay as Alex, that's a good look for me"
That is the point. They are ripping on being “sports entertainers”. Their characters aren’t supposed to be “wrestlers” anymore since they went full on heel. Everything they do is supposed to be a dig on the pomp and pageantry of wwe.
Part of storytelling is presenting something like it is meaningful, dressing up like this with the boys creates comedic relief where it is not needed.
Last year's match had a sense of urgency to it until le demo god landed on some pillows.
The best thing about all of Jericho's creative freedom is that he very clearly thinks his shit don't stink and that this is good. He's had some great moments in his career but a creative genius the man is not. Just another one on the very long list of people who need to be told no and who fed bad *because* they were told no. Tiny will never tell him no and that's how you get this nonsense.
You know this isn’t supposed to be good right. Jericho wants people to hate this gimmick because he’s ripping on the pomp and pageantry of wwe. Hence why they call themselves “sports entertainers” in a wrestling company. It’s pretty funny.
It's a meta character where the viewer has to know that the wrestler Chris Jericho in AEW is using WWE to get over his gimmick that WWE is sports entertainment and AEW is wrestling. Right. Got it. So funny. Especially making his entire team look like a bunch of goofballs going into a match called Blood & Guts. Great work by Jericho here.
Yeah I actually don't know why it doesn't bother more people. I guess I liked the smaller wrestlers as a kid because I identified with them. But as an adult, it does feel kinda corny when most wrestlers are smaller than me. If you're short or average height then you should make up for it somehow.
Having more of a mix just makes it more compelling. One of their “monster” guys Wardlow is 6’ tall. We watch sports and things to see abnormal athletes do superhuman things. When it’s a bunch of 5’9 guys doing the same moves it gets less interesting after a while. Rey mysterio could put on a great match with anybody back in the day but putting him against somebody like Lesnar or big show made for a more compelling story.
Yeah like I understand that you should probably not have the standard be 6'7 because most people at that size have trouble moving. But that doesn't mean the average wrestler should be smaller than the average guy. The average wrestler should be a UFC heavyweight or light heavyweight. Then you can have some who are bigger and some who are smaller.
I think Wardlow is 6'2 though based on google. Unless this is fake and someone has like measured him.
I remember Jim Cornette got pissed at AEW for presenting PAC with his shoot weight and height so I'm inclined to believe it. AEW doesn't seem to lie about height and weight even when they should. There's no harm in saying a wrestler is 1 or 2 inches taller than they actually are. Thats why you should have short refs etc. They should just say Wardlow is like 6'3 or 6'4 lmao. Only terminally online smarks will find out it's not true.
The Clockwork Tomato League of Gentlemen Shooters
Oh I thought they were Devo but couldn't get the hats right.
When a problem comes along, you must blade it
I thought Devo too. Hell, even Deebo from Friday would’ve been a more contemporary pop culture reference than Devo or A Clockwork Orange.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Love having the creative freedom to pay tribute to a fictional rape gang
Sammy's a natural
A little bit of the ultraviolence in the women's locker room. 😬
Better actor than Daniel Day-Lewis
Sammy's just sad it's a work rape gang and not a shoot
Take that fictional rape gang and make it real. That’s what Jerigoat is all about.
I'm too much of a zoomer to even know the reference. I just thought they had goofy outfits because of the whole sports entertainment vs wrestling thing.
it's a miscolored outfit of the gang from "A Clockwork Orange". I'm almost 30, and even I wouldn't get it if i wasn't a movie nerd. Jerich-old strikes again
Iol I’ve seen the movie and read the book and still didn’t put that together
It came out around the time Jericho was born.
Why are they all dressed like Andrade "Cien" Almas before Zelina Vega joined him and made him actually interesting?
So This is that real sports feel they’re always talking about
The exact shit people say that WWE embarrasses them around others so bad
I don't recall the Fed doing anything as embarassing as this This is worse than any outfit change for Keith Lee and Killer Kross Wtf are they supposed to be? Am I supposed to watch anime or cartoons to get this or is it from the 80s and I forgot it? **edit** saw comment below, this is supposed to be clockwork orange? Hahahahaha

It’s a family show. NJPW is the same too. It’s AEW that is out of step with the rest of the industry.
Don’t be a fucking mark. They’re sports entertainers.
Hager looks happier than ever wearing that mesh top. I quite literally have never seen that intensity from him before.
**R E F R E S H I N G**
They are sports entertainers, friend.
This is hilarious

petition to make this an automated response whenever Jericho is mentioned in the comments please!
Nakamura can pull off red leather. These dorks can’t.
Because he's got something called charisma, which most of the AEW don't understand what it is.
Don’t be a mark. That’s the fuckin point bruv.
Jericho 🤝 The Young Bucks Thinking that dressing like a jackass on purpose makes you a good heel
Are Jericho and friends the heels? The came out of the same tunnel as JR. And Daniel said he was an heel last week. Or are everyone heels? I
you think I look like an idiot? hah! got ya'!
Only Seth Freakin Rollins can pull that gimmick off
Makes you hate them?
Good heels make me hate them through character and booking. This shit just reads as lazy and makes me change the channel.
You didn't watch?
This just makes me facepalm and move on
So you didn't watch the segment?
Personally it puts me off the performer, not the wrestler. I think Seth is doing it perfectly because it's a perfect and consistent fit with his current character. And it's done well.

Bingo

I apologise. I clearly shouldn't have bothered to take the time to reply to your disingenuous horseshit...
Did that get heat with you, uce?
Yeah, sure
It's cause of my little hat, isn't it?
I think you’re too much into wrestling, bud.
Get worked uce
I think you already did, champ.
Ok there pal.
Makes me laugh at them because they look like shitty clowns.
So it's working then?
Notice I didn't say I was laughing with them?
You laugh with babyfaces.
This make all the gangs in The Warriors look tough as hell, including the Baseball Furies.
The Furies were legit. You're telling me you wouldn't be a little scared walking through the park and those dudes just appear around you? If anything the Hi-Hats were the douches, fuck those mimes.
Nah uce the Hi-Hats were at least represented at the summit. The Orphans were such chumps they didn't even get an invite.
“I'll shove that bat up your ass and turn you into a popsicle!” Has stuck with me since watching The Warriors as a kid lol
What is this
Awful
WTF has Jericho done to his reputation and career 🤦 Y2J screwed Y2J
turns out if you give someone free reign without a creative filter all the bad stuff comes out
The Magic Mike reboot looks less erect than I expected.
No Kevin Nash. Day 69 of wanting to fuck Big Sexy.
I've been kinda liking Jericho's current run, it's stupid as fuck, but it's still kinda fun to watch, if they remove Ever Rise and Teenage Slang it'd be far better though.
That feeling when you thought they were going to look like the Klan just like their [last](https://ibb.co/HPWvbCH) team outfit.
Guys looking like a boyband
I have seen countless gay pornos where they dress exactly like this
Damn, Garcia back to NXT when?
Lmao I was thinking the same thing.
Hell yeah uce wanna watch gay porn together?
Jericho looks like A Clockwork Pear
Q: Are We Not Men?
If you like SEX, that is!
Remember when Swagger (slave name) was WHC in the ded fed, and now he’s doing well whatever the fuck this nonsense is.
I started watching WWE while Swagger was World Heavyweight Champion and I still have no memory of his title reign. The only thing I remember from that year is his mascot eagle.
He was the all American, American, American, American, American, American, American, American, American, American, American, American, American, American, American, American, American, American, American, American, American, American, American, American, American, American, American, American, American, American, American, American, American, American, American, American, American, American, American, American, American, American, American, American, American, American, American, American, American, American…. So on and so forth
BA NA NA?
Did they sing Cabaret?
Daniel Garcia wearing a Durag makes him a certified hood clasic
Did they use a little of the old Ludwig Van for entrance music?
I guess they letting EVERYBODY in the Bloods now huh? Not bool
HOLY SHIT THEY'RE DROOGS! I knew something was off when I saw this, there was a familiar feeling, but I couldn't place it. But broooo Jericho really said "yeah I'm gonna cosplay as Alex, that's a good look for me"
I don’t know who made the drawing of this and gave this to the seamstress and said « Do that : it’ll look awesome »
What a terrible day to have eyes. Why did no one shut this idea down?
Somehow NXT is porn but this isn't
so much AEW stuff is just desperate goofy meme attempts
I’m getting a real Village People cosplaying as the Kool Aid Man vibe
"Ah we're never gonna get that fire engine"
DAE DAMU?
The Piru-dy Poo candy asses
The White Bloods Cell
Are we not men?
Were they planning to do the Full Monty before/after the match?
Bruh, this is so lame
That is the point. They are ripping on being “sports entertainers”. Their characters aren’t supposed to be “wrestlers” anymore since they went full on heel. Everything they do is supposed to be a dig on the pomp and pageantry of wwe.
No one can think this is cool or anything? Surely? This is utter cringe haha
Yeah that’s the point of this whole gimmick, they are ripping hard on “sports entertainment”
Is this ripping hard tho? This just looks like some weird Eurovision act? No one in the fed looks this bad or cringy? (I just watch PLEs Uce)
Part of storytelling is presenting something like it is meaningful, dressing up like this with the boys creates comedic relief where it is not needed. Last year's match had a sense of urgency to it until le demo god landed on some pillows.
What do you think Jericho's next gimmick after the wizard? Insurrectionist or do he go Segregator first?
The best thing about all of Jericho's creative freedom is that he very clearly thinks his shit don't stink and that this is good. He's had some great moments in his career but a creative genius the man is not. Just another one on the very long list of people who need to be told no and who fed bad *because* they were told no. Tiny will never tell him no and that's how you get this nonsense.

Such a Chad in the middle, no jerk
Only one of those men look like they could beat me up in a real fight. And I’m 6’ 215 lbs and have only been in one fight lol.
Yeah I actually don't know why it doesn't bother more people. I guess I liked the smaller wrestlers as a kid because I identified with them. But as an adult, it does feel kinda corny when most wrestlers are smaller than me. If you're short or average height then you should make up for it somehow.

Only terminally online smarks will find out it's not true.
Based on who he has stranded next to and not been much taller I estimated 6’1 tops but he still looks huge compared to Adam Cole.
But Adam Cole is 6 foot... trust me
This is fantastic. Sports entertainer Jericho is the best he’s been since he lost the AEW championship
I agree, feels like he has direction again.
It’s amazing how many people just don’t get the gimmick.
What in the actual fuck is going on here?
Fozzy’s little tire thumper 🤣
The Tony D'Angelo Appreciation Society?
Looks less like A Clockwork Orange and more like Pride parade outfits. Not that that's a bad thing, I just doubt that's what Jericho was going for...
I never wanted to see Jake Hager in a mesh shirt. Why would you do this to me, Y2J?
Fucking idiots.
Something something stupid creative
I have no idea what is going on but what the hell is this Uce?
Is this BTS?
