Top AEW Star Chris Jericho recently did a live Q&A with the fans, which he calls “Saturday Night Special” on his Facebook. During the Q&A, Jericho talked about some of his favorite incarnations of the Jericho character.
This is what Chris Jericho said:
“I always say at this point, I love Le Champion.” “Just the fact that we were able to change the wrestling world by starting this whole brand and company out of scratch and really becoming a money making, viable alternative for people right off the bat. I also loved ‘The List Jericho’ thing I did with Kevin Owens, the suit and tie Jericho with Shawn Michaels and tag teaming with The Big Show.
Jericho then talked about the changes they had to make during these tough times and that they are here to entertain us by doing the best they can.
This is what Chris Jericho said:
“Brodie Lee was supposed to debut last Wednesday in Rochester which is his hometown.” “That place was going to be sold out and last week was supposed to be Blood and Guts, we do the best that we can. We know it’s not the optimal time but it’s important to us to continue to entertain you guys and we know that it’s tough at home. If you guys are doing what you’re supposed to do at home, then we are there to entertain you. To me, it is essential, entertainment is essential to keeping your guys minds off of all these things that are going on right now.”
Jericho then talked about disliking not having fans in attendance, but having the responsibility and knowing the importance of providing entertainment to the people in difficult times like this.
This is what Chris Jericho said:
“It does stink.” “We are dealing with the cards that we’re given. This is a worldwide pandemic. It’s not like a choice that we’re making, it’s not like we have an alternative.”
“90% of the people have been really appreciative of the fact that we keep continuing to do this, and as long as people want to watch us do new shows then I’m all for it because it’s a part of what I do. I can’t just bury my head in the sand somewhere until this is done, I have a responsibility to help people and to entertain people.”
