Nick Gage: Eddie Kingston vs. Chris Jericho Barbed Wire Everywhere Sucked

Nick Gage weighs in on Chris Jericho vs. Eddie Kingston’s barbed wire battle. 

The Painmaker returned to AEW at AEW Dynamite Fyter Fest week two when Jericho battled Eddie Kingston in a barbed wire everywhere match to culminate their feud. The Painmaker previously showed up for a deathmatch against Nick Gage in July 2021. 

Gage, who is considered to be the king of the deathmatches, brought pizza cutters, light tubes, and more to his bout against Jericho, giving the match an authentic Gage deathmatch feel on national television. 

Speaking on Rewind, Recap, Relive, Gage weighed in on the barbed wire everywhere match between Jericho and Kingston. 

“Let’s keep it real. Jericho and me in a deathmatch was awesome. Then they tried to write Jericho and Kingston in that barbed wire everywhere garbage. That match sucked. Just calling it how I see it. I’m sorry, but if you’re going to get thrown in barbed wire, and you have a shirt on, that barbed wire is going to stick to your shirt and rip your shirt. You’re not just going to come off the barbed wire. Then you’re going to get hiptossed into a barbed wire net. You don’t lay pads down underneath. I do like Chris. He’s very nice to me. I’ll be on the Jericho Cruise coming up in 2023. I’m not wrestling, just doing a meet and greet,” he said. 

Jericho was victorious in the deathmatch against Gage and the barbed wire everywhere match against Kingston.
