Chris Jericho bringing back the ‘Painmaker’
The match between Chris Jericho and Nick Gage next week will now have a No Rules stipulation, after MJF’s announcement. Jericho’s ‘Painmaker’ gimmick brought him many plaudits during his time in NJPW.
Jericho agreed to MJF’s stipulation for the ‘Labours of Jericho’, where he faces different opponents in successive weeks before facing him. He now faces an uphill battle in Gage, but has to resort to this personality that brings out the best in his game.
Jericho has earlier admitted that Bruiser Brody was a heavy influence in the creation of his Painmaker character. Le Champion studied tapes of the legendary Bruiser Brody during the 30th anniversary of his death. Brody was famous for his wild and robust brawling style, which on occasion saw him legitimately beat his opponents to another point.
