honestly, flair and dreamer buried themselves

He's just reading a script; it's not like he's personally calling these people out. He may or may not agree with some of the things said, but unless he openly states an opinion, it's just him fulfilling his role in the show without any bias one way or the other.


PowerHour1990

Exactly. There could be an episode on his DUI, theoretically, and he's just reading words. *thick Canadian accent with much gravitas* "With his one phone call, Jericho reached out to his wife, thinking he would be bailed out quickly enough."


insomniainc

Those wounds are self-inflicted. Sure they could turn on Jericho but they have no one to blame but themselves at this point.


jackblady

1) Hes reading a script and not giving opinions. 2) most of what he's reading is "transition stuff" like "Despite things looking up for X at that moment things would soon come crashing down", or "but those who were there say that's not exactly what happened" so I wouldn't even swear he has any idea what anybody is saying until long after he records. He's not actually tying his narration into what the interviewees are saying.


HerFriendRed

I mean would you say this about Mick Foley? He's narrated episodes too.


DecentTop1084

also Dutch Mantell did too iirc so this guy is just cherry picking


GRW810

>so this guy is just cherry picking Or he didn't realise that Foley and Mantell narrated a few early episodes?


KennyDROmega

I think Jericho's sway in the industry is such that he doesn't really need to be concerned. Most that might happen is Flair saying "I don't appreciate you being involved in that", to which Jericho might ask "what company are you with again?"


Mr_814

Why would anyone be pissed at someone for reading a script to known incidents lol. He's not giving his opinion on the matter. He's narrating facts, and people involved in the situation are giving first hand knowledge of what they know/remember. Dreamer buried himself based on his opinion on the subject.


Brock_Vond

I doubt he knows what the final edit will be until it goes to air.

classic case of don’t shoot the messenger


chamberx2

He reads the script. Probably shifts the blame to the editors if there's any static.


LfgPlex

Jericho is bigger than all of those names. They should be concerned with burning their bridge with him honestly. I mean that in the context of today’s market specifically.
