Ben Stiller Reacts To Kris Statlander’s Tribute, Matt Menard On Leaving JAS

In a video posted to Twitter following Wednesday’s episode of AEW Dynamite, Matt Menard cut a promo on how his group was doing after parting ways with Chris Jericho.

Menard, Angelo Parker, Daniel Garcia, Anna Jay, and Jake Hager all left the Jericho Appreciation Society this past August. He said,

“Who knows? What’s happened for the last six months? What’s happened for the last six months? That’s what I wanna know. I know we left Chris Jericho in August. It wasn’t supposed to be like this. You know the balls that it took to leave that man? You guys know the story. I gave him everything. Everything. But at some point, at some point in everybody’s life and everybody’s career, you realize that you reached the ceiling. You reached the ceiling. Is that what you want to hear? You have to make a move. So that’s what we did. That’s what we did. I thought I was on a team with men. I thought I was on a team with a bunch of men. But it’s dead! I find out. I find out that I’ve got a guy that wants to run around and dance like like he’s at a nightclub every night. Garcia, I love you, I love you. You’re in this tournament. You’re in this tournament now, okay? Do you have any idea how big this opportunity is for you, I know you do. Get your head in the game. On the other hand. I’ve got Angelo Parker, my friend since the third grade. He’s running around like he’s never seen a woman in his life, like he’s never kissed a girl, like it’s his first time. Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me? Do you think I have this kind of time to waste? Huh? Do you? Everyone on my team. Everybody. Do you think I have this kind of time to waste? Running around kissing girls? Running around and dancing? I got a three-year-old son at home who depends on me to come home every week. I can’t let that boy down.”

“It wasn’t supposed to be like this.”

Kris Statlander paid tribute to Ben Stiller’s Dodgeball character at AEW Full Gear 2023, and Stiller himself reacted to the former TBS Champion’s attire.

Statlander’s ring gear was inspired by White Goodman from the 2004 comedy for her TBS Championship match and she did the cobra gesture during her entrance.

Statlander lost the TBS Title to Julia Hart who pinned Skye Blue to win the gold in the three-way match at AEW Full Gear 2023.

Statlander tweeted, “I promise you @BenStiller I won’t lose the next time”

Stiller saw the post and replied with a combination of emojis as you can see below:

I promise you @BenStiller I won’t lose the next time https://t.co/QydH5KBp5X
