I want to talk about wrestling from a storytelling perspective, or as you guys call it..."kino".
Could anyone else see the obvious comparisons between Cain and Abel and what we saw tonight between Kevin Owens and Chris Jericho?
>Two "brothers", one clearly more favored than the other by the overseer (in the bible, God, and in this case, the WWE universe)...
>One becoming jealous of this, and destroying the holy bond of brotherhood they had in a shocking way, where the murdered realizes it too late...
Think about what Jericho said:
"why am I on this list?"
He had no clue what was happening - he was too innocent and believing in the bond he had with his brother, similarly:
"And why did he murder him? Because his own actions were evil and his brother’s were righteous."
- John 3:12
Here it is questioned why Abel was murdered, and again, it was unseen and questioned.
I don't know, maybe I'm just tired as fuck but I thought it was really cool to draw comparisons. This was seriously a GOAT segment, it was hilarious, the turn was awesome, and it's setting up a pretty good mania match in my opinion. Feel free to discuss other wrestle kino in here.

Who is Goldberg in this metaphor?

An Archangel sent by G*d to punish the wicked, he has already slain The Beast and will now take back RAW from the forces of evil.

But KO was the favored one by HHH. If your idea was correct, Jericho would be the jealous one who ended the brotherhood.
Stupid idiot.

well...you're TOO EFFING LATE OP
I already drew this comparision for the Undertaker-Kane feud
Taker = Cain (member Cain the Undertaker gimmick?)
Kane = Abel
Paul Bearer = The "Father"
Le "I will not hurt my brother" angle Taker played for so long , then at inferno match, he breaks a Drum on kanes head, sets him on fire
Drum = Rock/Heavy Stone
better luck next time OP

Or maybe Kevin's just pissed because Jericho committed him to a match against Goldberg.
Anything can be traced back to the Bible just because it's the only insanely old literature people still remember. There's probably other ancient stories but nobody gives a fuck about those.
