Professional wrestling legend and future WWE Hall of Famer Chris Jericho who is a former six times WWE World champion and currently working in the AEW recently revealed his desire to work with the younger talents in his current professional wrestling promotion the All Elite Wrestling.
Chris Jericho is one of the biggest legends in the world of professional wrestling. He started his professional wrestling career back in the 1990 and he showed high potential from the very first day of his in ring career. He got his first big break in 1996 when he was signed by WCW after working in the ECW for a short amount of time.
Chris Jericho Wants To Keep Working With Younger Talents In AEW
In spite of being vastly talented he had never been treated as a main event star or not even an upper mid carder in the WCW. In 1999 he was signed by WWE for the first time and this was the first step for him on to the ultimate success. He was not pushed as a main event star instantly but the way he made his debut by confronting the Rock, it was quite obvious that WWE had big plans for him.
In the Vengeance pay per view event of 2001, he defeated Stone Cold Steve Austin and the Rock in one single night to become the first ever Undisputed champion of WWE. At WrestleMania X8, he defended the Championship against Triple H on the main event of the show.
In early 2018, he left WWE forever and started working on the independent circuit and also worked in Japan. In 2019 he joined the newly founded professional wrestling promotion All Elite Wrestling. He is still active in the AEW and he is currently one of the biggest stars of the promotion.
Chris Jericho who is a former six times WWE World champion and currently working in the AEW recently spoke on the Extreme Life Of Matt Hardy podcast where he revealed his desire to work with the younger talents in his current professional wrestling promotion the All Elite Wrestling. He said;
“We’ve revamped ourselves and evolved. We never had to wrestle each other. We’ve done that before. The key to us staying at a certain level is working with younger guys. It elevates them and it elevates us too.”
“All my programs in AEW have been with younger guys. I could work Matt. I could work Christian. We don’t have to. We’ve done that before. This is not the fuc*ing nostalgia hour. This is about continuing to strive to evolve, build, and make new stars.”
“The people know our exposure from our time in WWE. Then they see, ‘Oh my god, Orange Cassidy is hanging with Chris Jericho or Orange Cassidy is hanging with Matt Hardy?’ It just works.”
