Chris Jericho - The Elite of All Wrestling

Chris Jericho is AEW - 

Chris Jericho is truly a living legend of Pro Wrestling, after being in wrestling over 30 years, Jericho has been everywhere and done it all.

In his early years to working All over his native Canada to Smoky Mountain Wrestling all the way through to Many Companies in Mexico and Japan and then to USA with  ECW, WCW and WWE and becoming a wrestling star, Best Selling Author, a Podcaster with Talk is Jericho and Front man and Rockstar with his band Fozzy, Chris Jericho has achieved so much his resume speaks for itself. 

I've seen Chris Jericho Wrestle at a WWE House Show in Cardiff, I saw his Band Fozzy again in Cardiff, Wales at Cardiff university, i then saw Fozzy again a few years later in Exeter and own every Chris Jericho book ever released and also the owner of many Jericho T shirts, Chris Jericho is a name known all over the world in so many different genres.

Chris Jericho doesn't need to do anything else he's achieved so much and his legacy as one of the best not just in wrestling but in all entertainment is solidified forever.

However Chris Jericho doesn't see it that way he decided he had something else to prove and wants to leave a new legacy in Professional Wrestling .

Chris Jericho as WWE Undisputed Champion in 2001

Let me take you back to Chris Jericho in 2017, it was thought by many that Chris Jericho was going to be WWE for life. 

Chris Jericho has been in WWE since 1999 and had a tremendous  run with the company (with some gaps in between for Music and other projects) however two fellow Canadians changed the course of Chris Jericho wrestling career and the status quo. 

Those 2 men also changed the course of Pro Wrestling forever those two men were Don Callis and Kenny Omega.

Don Callis came to Chris Jericho with the idea of Wrestling in New Japan Pro Wrestling  vs Kenny Omega, Chris Jericho not under contract to WWE at the time decided he would take the match, from that moment on modern pro wrestling changed forever.

Chris Jericho vs Kenny Omega at NJPW 

Chris Jericho vs Kenny Omega at Wrestlekingdom 12 made a huge difference to New Japan Pro Wrestling and It broke the attendance record at Toyko Dome.

NJPW World is New Japan Wrestling online streaming service for their shows they found their subscribers went through the roof, the match was given 5 stars by Wrestling observer and it showed fans all around the world that Chris Jericho is still at the top of his game and we could do so much more than what WWE was offering him.

Where Chris Jericho intelligence, foresight and brilliant wrestling mind came into place most was that while in Japan he has a completely different character he didn't bring the same Chris Jericho we had seen for years to that Kenny Omega Match.

Chris Jericho completely changed everything cosmetically about himself, Gone were the scarves, lists and sparkly gear.

Chris Jericho had Fozzy Song "Judas" as his theme song he wore black make up on his face, he had this violent, aggressive demeanour  about him, he attacked Omega before their match at a press conference, he threw objects at the journalists in attendance and told Japanese fans and Wrestlers how much he hates them and how much better he is than them.

Chris Jericho has this attitude that he is the king of Japan and that all of Japan owes him something and should bow down to him. 

Chris Jericho said himself that he realised that there was this new world outside of WWE and that now was the time for him the explore this. Chris Jericho with this new character went on to face Naito, Evil, Okada and now looks like he will at some point in the future go on to face Hiroshi Tanahashi.

Chris Jericho is proving that he is The Elite of All Wrestling, he's changing, evolving and making everything he does mean something,  Chris Jericho is using his skills and melding them and blending them with Pro Wrestling in 2019 to help All Elite Wrestling move forward with a new innovative style of wrestling.

Chris Jericho also brings all his years of TV experience to an All Elite Wrestling Roster, may of whom who have not wrestled regularly on TV before, that experience is invaluable.


Chris Jericho has such a huge name value and is something fans old, new and disenfranchised will recognise instantly.

Chris Jericho is  one of the most hated bad guys in all of professional wrestling in 2019 which is by all means something that is not easy to do, to bring out real hatred in the fans. 

Next on Chris Jericho list is to become AEW World Heavyweight Champion that match takes place on 31st August 2019 at AEW All Out Event in Chicago 

All Out Sold out within 15 minutes of going on sale on Friday 14th June 2019. 

Chris Jericho is leading a new era, a new Philosophy and a different way to doing things.

The last piece of the puzzle is AEW World Championship if Chris Jericho can defeat Adam Page he cements his new legacy.

 Chris Jericho is ready to change the universe, doing it his way by his rules and Chris Jericho wants a thank you from everyone.
