The Inner Circle comes and Jericho says that they are “back in black.” Jericho makes fun of The Pinnacle by calling them the “pineapple” but says that the beat down they received gave them a lot to think of. Jericho says that they made a lot of bad decisions and hurt people and they apologize for that, including to the fans. Jericho says a lot of that is a result of MJF.
Jericho says he isn’t smart at a lot of things but he is smart at pro wrestling, which is why he brought MJF into the group. He says he didn’t do it to take him under his wing but he did it to put him under his thumb because he knows how talented he is. He says that they knew MJF would eventually show his true colors but they never thought MJF would outsmart them.
Jericho says that MJF is not as good as he thinks he is and he’s bought into the hype and calls him a “mark.” Jericho says they are going to change that to being a “Max” instead. Jericho says MJF will never be as good as him.
Jericho calls Tully Blanchard a third rate member of the Horsemen and ranks him between Ole Anderson and Paul Roma. Jericho makes fun of FTR and says he doesn’t even know their names. Jericho says that everyone says how much upside Spears has but he’s never seen it. Jericho says that the Inner Circle will once again dominate and they will shove the Pinnacle’s heads up each other’s asses and form a human centipede.
Jericho says that they have been waiting for a particular match since last year, so why wait anymore? May 5 The Pinnacle vs. Inner Circle in Blood & Guts! Jericho says that the worst is yet to come and God help The Pinnacle for it.
