Recap from TJ Hawke:

The fans voted Jericho into this match over Randy Orton and Rey Mysterio. Punk was eights days off his loss of the WWE Championship to The Rock.

 

Neither man could get a decisive advantage early on. Jericho managed to send Punk to the floor, and he then hit a baseball slide. Jericho went for a Silverking Dropkick, but Punk managed to send Y2J into the turnbuckle. Commercial.

 

Back from commercial, Punk was getting the heat. They actually went to another commercial at some point. Back from commercial, Punk was still getting the heat. At one point, Punk went for a springboard clothesline, but Jericho avoided it. Jericho made a comeback. Jericho went for the Lionsault, but Punk got his knees up. Jericho reversed that and tried for the Walls, but Punk escaped.  Jericho then hit a super hurricanrana: 1…2…no.  Jericho went for another Lionsault, but Punk got him on his shoulders. Jericho avoided the GTS, and went for the Walls. Punk avoided it. Punk got a nearfall on a neckbreaker.  Punk went for the diving elbow, but Jericho avoided it. Jericho went for the Lionsault: 1…2…NO!  Punk came back with a roundhouse to the head: 1…2…NO! Punk got the Anaconda Vice, but Jericho made the ropes. Jericho was going to the top rope, but Punk kicked his legs out and went for a GTS. Jericho reversed it into a Walls of Jericho! Punk made the ropes.  Punk sent Jericho into the turnbuckles a couple of times, and he then hit a GTS: 1…2…3

 

This was a good television match. They didn’t do anything too crazy, but they kept it simple, yet smart. This was Jericho’s first extended singles match in his fourth WWE run, and he looked pretty sharp even if he maybe lost a step here and there. Punk is on point, as he has arguably never been better.

Match Rating: ***1/4

About TJ Hawke

TJ was a fan of wrestling as a kid (starting around 1999), and his first concrete wrestling memory is some kid bringing Hulk Hogan his old yellow and red gear backstage during an episode of Nitro. Hogan needed the gear to defeat Kevin Nash in a title vs. career match at the next WCW PPV. Nash lost the match and his career, which sadly resulted in the world losing out on seeing Kevin Nash matches for the last 13 years. Like almost all young kids, TJ’s interest in wrestling fluctuated over the years until an episode of Raw on July 3, 2006. TJ was curious and excited to see his beloved RVD show up with the WWE Title belt and what he thought was the revitalized European title. TJ decided he must turn to the the internet to figure out what was going on. Almost 6 years later, TJ is still searching the internet every day to find out what is going on in wrestling. Now though, he writes for the pop culture site (411mania.com), has his own blog (The Best of Chikara), and is the creator of the very site you are reading now.
