In a new interview with Fox News Digital, AEW veteran Chris Jericho predicted that even his harshest online critics will feel sadness once his legendary career ends. The legendary performer suggested detractors who dismiss him for continuing to compete will eventually recognize the special entertainment he has consistently delivered. Jericho emphasized pouring 1,000% effort into every opportunity, always working to elevate opponents, himself, the promotion, and the overall show for the fans. He hopes audiences fully appreciate the moment before it passes.
“I think when I’m done, people will be sad that I’m not around anymore. I think a lot of the people that you mentioned, social media wise, that don’t like me just because I’m still doing this will realize like, hey, we had something pretty cool there, we should have been watching a little bit more because all I ever do is give my best 1,000% for whatever situation I’m in to make it better, to make my opponent better, to make me better, to make the company better, to make the show better.” – Chris Jericho
