While Tony Khan was negotiating a distribution deal for ROH, the decision was made to crown Chris Jericho ROH World Champion after he defeated Claudio Castagnoli.
At this past Saturday’s Final Battle pay-per-view event, Jericho also returned it to Claudio, but a fan didn’t like the ending.
Jericho was defeated by the Giant Swing and had to tap out. On Twitter, a fan reacted to the ending by calling it “dumb.” Jericho was not pleased with what the fan said:
“Hey f*** face. Ever experienced this move? It’s barbaric. I tapped out..you would’ve s*** your pants and cried for mommy.”
Jericho also wrote on Instagram: “The @claudiocsro Swing is inhumane and barbaric and should be BANNED! I defy ANY ONE OF YOU to not do what I did and tap out in the face of permanent brain damage! #TheOcho #FinalBattle @ringofhonor @aew.”
For $9.99 per month, ROH will begin airing weekly television on the Honor Club streaming service. Khan has stated that he intends to limit the use of ROH on AEW Dynamite.
Hey fuck face. Ever experienced this move? It’s barbaric. I tapped out..you would’ve shit your pants and cried for mommy. https://t.co/F9JPEbdEJz
