Int Region, Third Round, Embarrassment Match: (4)Bruno Sammartino vs.(5)Chris Jericho

[Dirk]

Yip, Bruno by a mile. The stipulation makes it impossible for Jericho to win... Or does it? I would like to contest that the Walls of Jericho is only a signature maneuver, rather than his finisher. When last did somebody actually tap out to it? I challenge and claim that he rather uses the Codebreaker and the Lionsault to get the win. I'd like to see Bruno pull off the Lionsault.

He could probably could still do the Codebreaker, so he gets the win, but not as easily as he would with the Boston Crab.

Bruno takes this. He was incredibly strong, and would have no problem locking in the Walls on Y2J- it's basically just a version of the Boston Crab.

There ain't no way Jericho has the strength to make the Living Legend tap out to his own Bearhug. Harsh tie for Jericho, but when you compare their finishing moves, you have to give a huge advantage to Bruno, and he goes through here.

Winner: Bruno Sammartino
