Callis informs that he’s a huge fan of Tanahashi, who has great timing and is a wonderful storyteller in the ring. Callis believes that Tanahashi could have went to McMahon 5 years ago and been the top guy in WWE because he truly understands and appreciates the North American style. He says that Tanahashi might be the best worker of the last 10 years.
Callis also informs that Naito is a great performer, who might be somewhat upset about the ‘double main event’ booking of this show. Callis points out that after winning the G1 Tournament a couple of years ago, NJPW took away his Championship challenger spot at that year’s Wrestle Kingdom event.
Now a few years later, Naito finally gets his spot in the main event of WrestleKingdom, only to see Chris Jericho come in and steal some of the spotlight. Jericho says his job is to sell tickets and if someone gets a little butt hurt over that, so be it.
That sums up today’s episode of Talk is Jericho. You can listen to the show yourself anytime here, and I’ll catch ya next week for another recap!
