Jericho "sees the stones last week" every week 😂
So true 🤣
I still love Jericho 💯
Me too buddy!
@@kapilsharma4195 💯
Damn even with the aligations 😂
@@mike_3613 what allegations pal
@@mike_3613 what allegations pal? Don’t be a sheep
GOAT
Jericho and Kevin Owen's segments was 🔥 the list of Jericho was is my all time favorite
It was a helluva turn, too! "Hey why's my name on this list? Oh s***!"
So good Jericho doing interviews - adds context, class, facts etc - talking as a big AEW fan it's better having someone like him than Tony Khan all the time who gets lost in his marketing and has felt a bit tainted recently. It's good to have more wrestlers talking for AEW and talking about all the great things. The future is bright. Great interview.
Check back on this comment in one year 😂
@@UnderScoredd troll
@@davidcoombsbestmegadethalb9780he is right, AEW can't focus on their own shows.
Dear Christopher inrvaine I love your band fozzy and your music I really want to be in the learning tree you are my hero Chris Jericho
Im glad Jericho is helping the wrestling business im glad he is doing great things in life
Great interview! I love the new Learning Tree gimmick. The smile and wave kills me every time lol
Good interview, Mike!
This was so good, It was a good length but I actually wish it was longer! Jericho has so much wisdom.
I swear Jericho sees the stones once a week 😂
Haha I thought I was the only one who saw that lol 😂 he really does see them a lot. Well maybe that’s his hero man. As long mick jagger can keep going at his age Jericho sees himself doing the same lol and shit I don’t blame him. If you can still go at that age by all means keep going. But work safer lol
@@porkchopexpress6890he can’t still go. 😂😂 boring ass matches
Always something new when Jericho being interviewed.. his positivity & willing to share is great for the pro wrestling community. we all should learn from the learn tree 😅😊
Learn what not to do
My favorite era of Jericho was the 2008-10 massive heel turn, I’ve recently rewatched a bunch of Raw/Smackdown segments of his promos during this time and I swear at times he was trying to hold back from smiling from how vigorous & annihilating his verbal attack in his promo was 😂
Loved his work with hbk one of the best storylines of all time
@@darmon931 The very beginning of Jericho’s 08 heel turn that began from Jericho initially turning heel by smashing HBK’s face into the TV amidst the Highlight Reel. He became an epic heel right after that
@darmon931 agreed. They do rivalries on a and e with Rollins vs hhh and booker and stone cold. Those are not real rivalries Hbk and Jericho was!
I was 1 of the only fans cheering Jericho at Dynasty & got tickets to Dynamite next month in Des Moines. Never retire Le Champion
🤮🤮
One of the all time greats
The learning tree 🌲
Oh he works like he's 53
Proud to be a Jericho fan to this day. I remember seeing him in WCW and from then on, I was a fan!
I will go to every single AEW show if they’re in Australia
Me too
Jericho looks good. Hes great on the mic. He needs a new gimmick like "the list" but im positive he will make the learning tree cool.... hes always ahead of game
AEW ❤❤❤
Becoming an interviewer 101: Squint your eyes when you ask a question. (This ensures everyone knows you are legitimate and knowledgable about what you are asking. Even when you have no idea what you are talking about)
Im glad y2j is going great in life
I am here for the learning tree 🌳
You can certainly sit under the learning tree that is Chris Jericho. 😊
Celebrities was huge
❤
Jericho is the man
love seeing AEW outside of tbs/tnt
One of the greatest of all time. Some say he should take a break due to overexposure but I say enjoy Jericho while he's still there.
Sports media is so much better than the so-called wrestling media who have their own agenda.. not these guys they just love all of pro wrestling just like me
HEY GUYS! 👋👋
1x World Wrestling Entertainment Champion 5x World HeavyWeight Champion 1x All Elite Wrestling Champion 1x Current For The World Champion Chris Jericho
Where is the WHL
No need to say “yeah” or “right” after every sentence. Let interviewee talk . Saying this in nicest way
Yeah
Jericho is starting to look like Jeff hardy. we like him but it's not the same. it's not a hater thing, it's a fact thing. Jericho is luckily great on the mic and that will help a career last with dimishining skills, changing up move sets to adjust help but not much. Love the guy but gotta be honest.
He was past his prime 6 years ago. It's crazy goin back and seeing his stuff from from the early 2000s to now. Like quit embarrassing yourself dude
Chris looking like Wolfgang from Gallus
He literally works like he’s in his 50s stop!
He used to be one of the greats
growing means going back to cities where you held the same events and getting considerably less attendance when you come back?
Whomp whomp
AEW doesn’t have a match issue so much as storytelling issues.
Sorry chris you do work like your 53
Please AEW come Wales Cardiff love meet you chirs and MJF
Becky has the same size build as most of the guys there 😂😂
Chris Jericho is Best Wrestler + Entertainer
I'm happy he is in AEW if he was in wwe now wwe would force him to retire
#1 in what?!?!? 😅…Jericho does know that ratings are public information, right 🤣
I love Chris Jericho, but WWE is the best. Period.
He was a big part of making wwe good for a long time
At least wwe doesn't do mark booking
@@42069LT yes it does
How about asking him about the incident with Kylie Rae and the supposedly NDA agreement she may had signed
Was 10. Milluon fans now 1_2 milluon
His in ring work is a lot worse than it was 10 years back his promos and ability to re-invent himself are still top notch.
I think he'd be smart to switch to being a stable manager over a wrestler
Him and hook has no chemistry in the ring
Why not talking about Kylie Rae? What he did to her?
Starks
Uery True chirs
Jerichos Reputation is tarnished unless he pulls off one crazy stunt that no one has done before . He needs a popularity reboot .
No he doesn't
How is it tarnished? Empty words unless you can back them up
What growth if not b on network
Unless Jericho is 100% convicted for what he's being accused of, I prefer to not have that cloud my judgment of him. As an in-ring worker he is clearly past it. You'll never see him deliver stellar matches anymore, it's virtually impossible at this stage. With that said, he's still exceptional when it comes to gimmicks creation. Very few can do it like him.
Whatever happen with those allegations against him with sexual assault on a female wrestler? Her name was like smiley Kylie or something
God dude let Becky enjoy being a mom for a while
Whats a aew.
MJF AMAZING for AEW done really great there uery good on mic 🎤 to
mjf is only over with the wwe conditioned audience and he's every aew haters favorite
@@imobjectivelybalancedonTHEball stupid comment
I wish that people stop trash talking AEW- it’s a young company.
Tony Khan needs to hire a team to run things because he has no idea what he's doing. They have all kinds of talent but a terrible booker.
@@kevingipson6810 these comments are so tiresome now
"Growth" 😂
Aew hasn't done shit yet it's not even close to tna in there hey day
🌳 🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳
AEW growth? What AEW growth? Every possible rating and metric is down
Jericho doing his job promoting AEW doing the best he can with its current state
TMZ sucks but I do love Chris Jericho
Should’ve asked about the nda’s smh
Brotha you work like you’re 80. You certainly still have value but do less in ring or at least get into the shape you did after Vince called you fat
Yup and there it is for all the people who keep saying AEW can never break 1 million viewers like wwe.
AEW is only in the USA and Canada only. Once they break out to international like how wwe has their deals or what not. Aew would easily break a million viewers when they have the international market. For them to have the numbers they do now in just the USA and Canada is pretty damn good for a company who’s only been around for 5 years.
They can barely break 700k now, they have a lot of work do to break a million again. To do that, Tony needs to step aside and let someone who knows how to book, book. They are the UFL to the NFL at this point.
keep the tribalism going
Yeah stopped watching a few minutes in when I realized this interviewer was just gonna meat ride and lie to Jericho the whole interview to stroke his ego instead of asking him the questions fans want to know. This is why ppl don’t take TMZ seriously
You are amazing everything you do chirs pound say am fan of yours from Japan ECW WCW WWF TNA WWE Japan AEW
Talented mid carder at best who has always come across like thinks hes bigger and better than he actually is. Decent hand in the ring. Over shadowed by Austin, Rock and others during his run in WWE, failed to really break through in to the main event for any length of time. Became undesirable and a small fish in a big pond in WWE as younger talent began to rise up so left and became a big fish in a little pond over at AEW where id imagine he thought his star power would shine brighter than everyone else and he could recieve a ego boost pat on the back for helping AEW become a bigger than it actually has.
Now he can kiss goodbye to going out on the Grandest Stage of Them All in WWE at WrestleMania for instance or perhaps even a HOF induction...instead he will wave goodbye one day in front of 5000 fans with barbed wire sticking out his ass and that will be that.
"AEW Growth" 😂😅
WWF is better tho
wwf was definitely better than wwe but aew's the best wrestling promotion of all time
@Amberh2432 hey Do you live under a Cave there on fire AEW is the one that is mehhh
This has nothing to do with the WWF And for the record it's not the WWF anymore it's the WWE weird comment to make.
WWF was better at bullying and robbing their "independent contractors", toxic work environment, backstage sexual predator behaviour, racism, discrimination, backstage politics, etc. 🤡💩🗑️🤦♂️
Jericho needs to go.
Aew #1
The Jericho cruises WERE fun and games until he invited MVP. TMZ should ask the truly hard hitting questions, like what’s up with that NDA & Kylie Rae? Jericho is a legend but his AEW run currently is as trash as his lack of integrity.
Growth!? Nah! Hopefully isn't Chris Jericho who said it cause he's seen at all doing it since 1990 and wrestling prime was in 2000s. Chris Jericho no offense but just retire! You're comic but not like with Kevin Owens but ridiculous. The learning 🌳!? And with Big Bill!? Who you feuded almost 8 years ago with Kevin Owens vs him and Enzo Amore. You touched the bottom by long. Even worst than losing to Fandango a 🕺 at WrestleMania who did only that relevant or Heath Slater at NXT or losing intercontinental title to 🇨🇳 which is been woman even if the result was reversed and you were champion with her but you felt embarrassed more losing in Chicago with AJ Styles to The New Day who are 1 of the best stable of all time and was 6 months champions and would have been other 9 longest tag team champios beat by The Usos a year ago. I used to idolize you
Touch grass nerd
of-course aew's grown, 4 ppv to 8, 2 hours tv to 5, and the best roster in the industry
Damn did Jericho hurt you this bad? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@imobjectivelybalancedonTHEball so delusional. What is this? Meltzer math? 🤣
@@jamesdarwinsmithii7039 you might as well get used to hating because aew signs all the best wrestlers in the world and puts on the best ppv’s in the business and ain’t going anywhere but up. 5 years later still singing the same old song lol.
Growth?😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hope Cornette sees this 😂
AEW is not growing lol
Tell him to retire
We don’t like Jericho
Why
Haters gonna hate
Then why are you here still supporting him stupid lol
Aew growth? LOL you mean aew decline
You have to retire jericho look what your company is doing to edge .. that spot was stupid its like when you watching this shitshow your watching wiley cayote and roadrunner,.. and khan saying aew is the safest wrestling comp. In the world??
A person who can’t spell coyote correctly shouldn’t be allowed to make comments. Goof.
This man came all the way here just to make a hate post lol
@@demetriusb.7885 what its an opinion brahh
@@demetriusb.7885these marks and trolls just want to feel good about themselves, but they live in a grudge that never goes away. Their all sick in the inside, sad.
Was 10 mill fans now 1_2 mill..diff era now like bowling need new young fans jer is the talent .
AEW is a joke to pro wrestling
that is wrong
AEW is losing fans week after week. Trash. Why interviewing him you got nothing important to do LOL
