Lance’s Version of Jericho’s Opponent at WrestleMania
Lance Storm gives you his version on whom Jericho should be facing at Wrestlemania 25 to defend the legends that he has been disrespecting. Here is an excerpt from his blog he has posted.
Chris Jericho has disrespected Ric Flair, Roddy Piper, and Ricky Steamboat, an actor who played a wrestler once in a movie can not be the guy to step up and defend these legitimate wrestling legends, it has to be someone within the business and it has to be someone big. There aren’t a lot of people I can see in this role either, which has me concerned. It has to be someone on the level of those Chris has disrespected or higher, and it has to be someone who can have a decent match, which makes for a fairly small list of candidates.
Steve Austin would be my first choice, but I guess that all depends on him. The fact that he is just going into the HOF this year makes him a perfect candidate in that he’s young enough to still be seen as a active wrestler, and this could be his last match, defending the HOF’ers he’s about to join. Hulk Hogan could also do it, although the match level would drop considerably. I keep hearing Flair’s name come up but I really hope that isn’t the case. Last year was one of the classiest things this business has ever done, and Ric coming back would really take away from that. I don’t think Piper’s body has more matches in it, and I really have no idea what kind of physical shape Steamboat is in. I’d love to see Steamboat – Jericho almost as much as I’d love to have a match with Steamboat myself, but it’s been a long time since The Dragon was in the ring and I wouldn’t want to see a rusty or winded Ricky Steamboat. The only other name that I can think of that works would be Bret Hart but I don’t see that happening either.
