At Extreme Rules, Intercontinental Champion Rey Mysterio will battle Chris Jericho in a No Holds Barred Match.

Since being drafted to SmackDown, Chris Jericho has collectively held the WWE Universe, his fellow Friday night Superstars and General Manager Theodore Long in absolute contempt, voicing that there is “a conspiracy” against him. Is it is only natural that he would end up clashing with one of SmackDown’s favorite sons, Rey Mysterio.

At Judgment Day, Mysterio reigned supreme against his outspoken adversary in heroic fashion, going so far as to pin Jericho with the 619, the very move that his outspoken opponent promised the WWE Universe would not happen. Jericho’s defeat did not teach him humility, but rather further fueled the fire of his discontent and the resentment that he seems to feel for his surroundings.

The intense rivalry between The Master of the 619 and the first-ever Undisputed WWE Champion has quickly grown past chair throwing, match interference, and general contempt. For one thing, the Intercontinental Championship is a title that both Superstars hold dear. During an interview with Jim Ross and Todd Grisham on SmackDown, Mysterio voiced his hope to one day be among the greatest Intercontinental Champions of all time. Chris Jericho has held the title a record eight times, and seems to have made it his personal quest to break his own record. Furthermore, Jericho’s shown Mysterio tremendous personal disrespect over the months, even going so far as to infer that he is a coward who “hides behind a mask.”

At Extreme Rules, both Mysterio and Jericho will have the chance to do whatever they wish to each other, in a match specifically designed to hold nothing back. When the growing resentment between two elite Superstars is given such an open playing field on which to focus their volatile emotions, there is no telling who will come out on top.

Don’t miss Extreme Rules Sunday, June 7 at 8/7 CT, only on pay-per-view.

I love the idea of a rematch with the two, but the stip seems pretty random.

Yeah but that's this PPV for ya. No Holds Barred is less random than any other stip would have been.

Should be a good match anyway. I'm actually glad the stip (hopefully) won't take too much away from it, whereas others really would.

Well most stips made so far, besides this one, makes sense. Hell, probably each one. The Samoan Strap kind of came out of nowhere but it was a challenge not just a random stip added so I guess it works.

This one just seems out of nowhere. Still should be ftw though. - Could we see an eventual hair vs. mask match?!

Please no. Hair vs. Mask would be dumb. I'm so bored of them teasing a Rey unmasking. No one wants it, so why bother making out like it's a possibility. I hope this ends the fued to be honest. As great as they are together I want to see Rey facing up and comers and making them look a million bucks in defeat and then dropping the Title to someone like Morrison or Ziggler, or even Ortiz.

KenTheKiller · 05-23-2009, 03:39 PM

I can't see him facing Morrison, though it'd be great probably.

I want Jericho/Morrison to feud for real after this and maybe Rey/Shelton.

RaiZ-R · 05-23-2009, 04:06 PM

Oh yeah, I keep forgetting Morrison is a face now. Haha!!

Tough titties Raiz, Meltzer reports this will lead to an eventual Mask vs Hair match with the fued continuing some time after this and Mysterio's mask being a big focus in it.
