Twitter users who are not fans of World Wrestling Entertainment or professional wrestling in general are now probably scratching their heads, wondering who the heck this Chris Jericho is who now happens to be the top Trending Topic on Twitter as of this writing.
I really wish I could have gone to the Araneta Coliseum last night to watch the Superstars and Divas of World Wrestling Entertainment’s SmackDown and ECW brands.
Here’s an excerpt from his ProWrestling.net report.
Jericho came out to a great pop. Seriously, there were so many fans that love him here. I brought a sign that said “SD! is Jericho” and he smirked when he saw it. There were Y2J chants that were very loud. He tried to cut a heel promo (the same “You can _____ all you want because you’re all hypocrites, I’m the best in the world at what I do, I guarantee you won’t see the 619 and I will unmask him” stuff) but we were still cheering for him. A lot of signs that read, “Hypocrite,” with an arrow pointing to themselves were in the arena. You could see it in his face, he was genuinely surprised to be so over. Rey got a nice response too. He said hi to a few masked fans. Steamboat was well respected as well.
Jericho, who is @IAmJericho on Twitter, arrived in the Philippines yesterday from Japan, where they also held shows as part of the SmackDown/ECW Live tour in Asia. The Philippine visit was made possible in partnership with Jack TV, the cable channel that airs WWE programming in the country.
