Jericho has come full circle. He’s now become the very person that caused him to leave WCW 25 years ago. What irony.

AEW Wrestler: can you please let me win this feud? Jericho: that doesn’t work for me, brother

Well done to Hook for putting over a young and promising talent like Jericho 👏🏼

Jericho's idea of putting someone over is: "you can pin me once but I'll win the overall feud."

It's Like Yeah We Used To Like Chris Jericho's Work In AEW Back When The Company Was First Formed, but nowadays he's gotten pretty stale with his matches, his parings with his own factions and now I currently hate the learning tree Gimmick right now.😑

Chris Jericho creating The Inner Circle was honestly the last good thing he did in AEW. Afterwards were just very questionable.

Chris Jericho has finally enter the "That doesnt work for me brother" phase

Jericho went from one of my all time favs to the CLOUT VAMPIRE

Man AEW is really similar to 2000s WCW. Including an over-the-hill and washed up old man desperately trying to relive a moment that had long past.

Tony Kahn needs to learn to say no. Jericho always stayed fresh by taking long breaks constantly. And he also had Vince to tell him his ideas were dumb.

The modern day Hulk Hogan

AEW has all kinds of problems not only jericho

One thing I don't get is that usually when Chris Jericho is feuding with someone, he loses the first match but then wins the rematch.

Jericho fell off the rails once he dropped the title to Moxley. I completely disavowed him after the MJF musical number. Before that, I got turned off by the OC feud and Stadium Stampedes. The problem is he has terrible ideas, an over-inflated ego that makes him think his ideas are the best, nobody to put a leash on them and tell him No! and he gets enabled by Memeltzer and the AEW stans. At least in WWE, he was helping effective talent and WWE's production value could make his hokey ideas look professional (eg. Owens and the Festival of Friendship)

Jericho is just a small domino on the pile of AEW problems and they are falling down.

I’m surprised you didn’t mention the feud with MJF. Went on for waaaaaay too long, and Jericho won in the end. MJF had to have some short feuds after with Darby and Pillman Jr to get his heel heat back.

You know why Jericho was so praised in WWE because he “reinvented himself” and all his different gimmicks worked? BECAUSE HE WENT AWAY IN BETWEEN GIMMICKS. We’ve been getting nonstop Jericho for almost 5 years now. The best thing he could do is take a year off and come back with a new look and no stable, that’s what always worked for him.

“We’re gonna have HOOK go over tonight Jericho” “That ain’t gonna work for me, rockstar”

Casual reminder that Tony Kahn calls WWE the Harvey Weinstein of wrestling, due to a past owner who isnt even there anymore, while he still keeps Jericho in AEW, and swept allegations against him under the rug.

Tbf if I was Jericho I'm not sure I'd put over Kingston at all.

Cornette’s been saying this for 3 or 4 years now….. they knew where this would go with him.

The problem with Jericho in aew is that all of his storylines, matches, and angles all feel like Vince McMahon is booking them. The stories don't make sense usually, the wrong person goes over, and they prolong the feuds when they should end.

If Chris wanted to do the stuff he’s doing in aew to wwe I’m glad wwe didn’t let this happen cause my god this is horrible like “el ocho” my god 💀 the pool match he had with orange cassidy my god 💀💀

Eddie Kingston is the top guy at Burger King.

The problem with Jericho is that there's always Jericho on Dynamite, he doesn't skip a beat and his storylines are same-ish. In WWE he used to take time off to tour with Fozzy, lol, then he returned with a new gimmick and that freshened his runs; in AEW instead he just jumps from one gimmick to the other without a discernible reason (other than "Jericho feels like it"). The allegations don't help (but that's Tony's fault that didn't put an end to them).

The Inner Circle could have been one of those stables that rotated membership, possibly even replacing Jericho with his protege.

the jericho vortex is real plus the go away heat and please retire chants don't help either

Cool video as always Tom, how about Chris Jericho's Undisputed Championship title reign

Tony Kahn and Chris Jericho are missing out on a golden opportunity to make Chris Jericho a self absorbed narcissist heel. Seriously the JAS would have been way better if Chris Jericho tried to mold every member into a past version of himself, especially if you combined it with his current gimmick. Also him winning against younger talent isn't a bad thing so long as he's a heel that cheats or he's a babyface.

AEW has an everything problem

You forgot jericho vs adam cole feud

He’s not the demo god. Or the pain maker. Or a star maker. Or the learning tree. Feuds with him create jobbers. Just look at action Andretti. Does anyone in aew have more losses than him?

Intersting, but honestly, I think it all went wrong so long ago for Jericho. Not long after Matt Hardy joined teleporting around the arena. The MJF feud was bad. Its all been bad

I just realized why Chris and Eddie were bap bap bapping on the top of the cage at the end of blood and guts RIGHT NOW. That’s how bad that “storyline” got.

I don't know why he hasn't completely leaned into the "Fat Rocker Who Is Passed Their Prime" Gimmick more.

arena empty wrestling is the problem 😂

Jericho was good at the beginning as their first major star but now they are a few years in and Jericho being a major player instead of taking a backseat is part of it

Man, I saw that street fight with big show and Chris. I just wish big show should have done more than that match.

I was done with Jericho when he latch on MJF feud and made MJF cold af. Thanks for the Punk vs MJF feud that made MJF hotter than ever.

You just made the list

JAS vs BCC in 2022 was the worst. It was like an 8 month feud

Can’t forget the Ricky starks feud. That’s when I started to groan

In the 5 years of AEW, the ONLY wrestler to come out of a Jericho angle not having their career hurt is MJF.

It's frustrating that the one consistent brain disease older wrestlers develop is their unwillingness to put newer talent over because of ego, obviously contradicting the one defining life cycle of pro wrestling

Hook should turn on the FTW championship and became TNT champion or International champion a real championship

What about the fuer with Adam Cole?

It was briefly mentioned but the issue of them never finding a way to keep him and Sammy apart and him constantly doing factions is also a major reason. Look at the Callis feud, Sammy turns on Jericho, got suspended iirc and then comes back and is back on Jerichos side again. Hook should for sure leave cause they clearly don't value him having him lose to Jericho for that title, they really need to wrap feuds up better in general

"Eddie Kingston is a top guy" well, there's your first mistake.

The problem is the allegations. Aew never confirmed or denied it. Kylie rae put a heart emoji❤ which makes me think there is an NDA involved because she can't talk about it. Chris jericho is a liar and a stooge and he's the modern day hulk hogan. He's always embarassing himself such as getting into drunken rants on Twitter on Christmas morning.

The beginning of the Inner Circle was really awesome with Jericho but after that there wasn't much happening with him where I said, I was glad that Jericho was part of it.

Jericho doesn't need time off, he needs to go away PERMANENTLY!

Hulk Hogan 2 over here lol

Jericho needs to just do guest commentary!

He has become what he hated about WCW he has become the old white guy that won't leave and buries young guys.

i dont usually agree with a lot of your videos, especially on AEW but this is spot on

Jericho trademarks 2345 nicknames and marks mistake it for “reinventing”. Bunch of fools

After the whole footage debacle I'm just done with AEW altogether. They had me and then lost me, I can't stand Tony Khan and his sheer stupidity along with Jericos's lack of self-awareness

chris is my hero and over the years has reinvented himself multiple times but now he needs to take some time off and think of some new character and gimmick. He can still go in the ring just needs some time off and can reinvent himself again. The Learning Tree is not going to be any good for him.

As a huge kenny fan, I forgot that WreslteDream match ever happened

Jeff Jarrettcho

Chris Overplayed his trait of being able to reinvent himself too much I mean its okay if he reinvents himself but he has to stay away on TV. people are oversaturated with his face always on AEW TV.

This has been a bit of a talking topic quite recently

Jericho being around isn’t the worst thing in the world if they used him right. I feel like it’s a mix of a bunch of thing especially Khan being a huge mark and Jericho starting to get into his own head and listening to his ego a lot more. Jericho is great at doing slight changes to make everything fresh but his new gimmicks of sorts have all been just lateral movements rather than his slight upgrades like “List of Jericho”, his slow talking, Codebreaker and savior. Him having a faction isn’t bad like Inner Circle which turned into JAS I think are good factions but there’s a lot of rehashing I mean JAS is just a slightly different Inner Circle. It’s really only a recent thing where we have been seeing him try and attach himself to a younger talent in order to maintain relevancy in the vain of brining up younger talent when it doesn’t nothing but just hurt Jericho. Now with this Learning Tree gimmick/faction, it’s really dumb why would you want to lean into the things people hate about you unless he’s doing it on purpose to be a heel the way Cody was being a heel by not turning heel. Should have just let Big Bill do his own thing or maybe even stay a team with Ricky Starks since they were actually pretty good together. Him trying to bring HOOK in when HOOK himself has been stuck doing the same thing ever since he debut wasn’t the best thing to do. Look at things the feuds would have been better if they ended sooner, like if HOOK just beat him and left it at that it would be ok. Honestly should have just let HOOK stay FTW champion if he is going to leave or not. Its a title created by his father and its should be doing the same it did for Taz, be a championship to elevate HOOK since he isnt getting shots at other titles instead having loss and regain the title is pointless while its an unsanctioned title

I will say with lionheart, seeing the old lion covers from wcw is pretty cool. Always will be a Jericho fan, but it’s getting old man.

Jericho's social media antics and Kylie Rae incident made him more unlikeable as of late, at least for me.

I remember seeing a comment on the FTW win that went like “I’m glad Hook decided to put over young talent like Jericho, just like the good ol’ 2017-2019 Goldberg”

chris jericho is turning into an old shovel, hes about to find himself in a jeff jarrett kinda way lol

I honestly love the learning tree gimmick (delusional face), and it would be perfect transition for him to become a manger from a wrestler.

Hey, it's the modern-day "That doesn't work for me, brother," Hulk Hogan! Hey, Hogan played bass in a band, and Jericho tried his best with his band Fozzy. The similarities are kinda there.

Chris Jericho needs to not be apart of the wrestling business anymore, period. He's not improved both in and out of the ring. Surely, there's no way he's making more money in wrestling than he does with Fozzy gigs. He should focus on doing Fozzy gigs and stay away from wrestling. He's past his best now. It's not like he needs to wrestle for money unlike some wrestlers.

Has?! No no no they have had this problem

So all young talent should have winning streaks because one loss buries them?

He's not destroying his legacy. We're long past that. It's destroyed. Now we're just seeing how much deeper he can bury it.

Jericho in AEW was my favorite AEW championship run. Didn‘t watch the product lately, but if he is champions again, I will watch again.

First I hated this angle. Now this week has me intrigued as Jericho knows 100% what is being said and this week he seemed to be leaning into it. I now want to see where this goes. He’s still currently cringe but let’s see where this goes this month.

TOP3WRESTLING BACK AGAIN

Whats going on with his chest?

Chris Jericho Shiuld just retire He did everything that needs to be done he is a legend he did pretty much everything

Jericho booked EVERYTHING himself 😂 he probably had a creative control clause in his contract 😂😂😂

Jericho thinks he’s Ric Flair, but he’s just the old guy who swears he can still do it so people let him pretend and clap.

It’s the same as the Hulk Hogan, John Cena, Triple H, The Rock, Young Bucks, Kenny Omega problems what a shocker

I don't get the sentiment that everyone thats older than 30 has to make the new guys look good and do that alone. If they come back they should have some wins as well as some losses, not just be completely buried and made a joke of, imo Jericho shouldn't be used as enhancement talent but at the same time he shouldn't be handed the gold just for being old. If they can keep up in the ring they deserve the same treatment.

The only reason is because if Kylie Ray us the biggest reason why he’s being getting hate even though he’s been having some awesome in ring matches

I hear the argument but I'm loving the learning tree storyline.

Weather you like him or not he's a top guy in AEW. That says everything you need to know about AEW and why their ratings on going lower and lower.

Why do I have a feeling that in a few months we will see HOOK making his debut in NXT?

No rest for the Wicked! No one escapes the thralls of Vampericho!

Jericho's GOATED, and I'm excited for the Learning Tree character. I also don't think this is a Jericho problem. This is a TK booking problem, as most things are with this. I wholeheartedly support the first two on this list happening, but I think they just lasted too long. You COULD'VE worked Eddie back into the BCC/JAS story after Eddie did something else, or at least had Eddie win their final match. And i actually find the Kenny/Jericho pairing to challenge Don's family to be a great touch.

I'm waiting for the sebastian bach gimmick.

Bet...

Jericho has become the thing he hated in WCW

Sometimes I wonder if this is all on Jericho, or if Khan has any incriminating stuff against him to keep sending him out to these shows. I mentioned in another video that this was the exact same thing that happened with TNA after they signed Kurt Angle. Once the initial "wow" factor wears off, that's when someone risks being overexposed to their own detriment. I get it, signing Jericho was a major "F U WWE, we got him" moment for AEW, but since then, AEW had poached a lot of talent off WWE just to flip the E the middle finger, so that makes Jericho less special when it comes to Khan's favorite hobby. Plus, Jericho is seriously out of shape, and again, I get it, age does that to a person, but his character work (ironically his best trait in WWE) has not improved in recent years. This is where logic baffles me, since Khan has so many talents signed onto payroll, so there should not be a reason to rotate Jericho out in order to let him refresh his character and give someone else the time in the limelight. My guess: it's like that guy who keeps cracking the same joke over and over and over again, to the point where it's not even funny any more; Khan is doing essentially that, flipping WWE the same middle finger over and over again to the point where nobody cares, or some are even annoyed by it now.

Was hook standing on a box next to Jericho in that one pic?

Y2j is just hulk hogan in late wcw

I agree he should take a break and has go away heat..but that doesn't take away from the fact he's pretty much a Mt Rushmore wrestler.

Jericho became what he hated

Eddie Kingston wouldn’t be television anyway. What would beating Jericho do for him? Takeshita hasn’t been elevated by anyone, and neither has Hook. They didn’t just feud with Jericho

He'll try another reboot or gimmick soon and TK will love it!

I’m sorry but I would not give A RIP about AEW if it wasn’t for Chris Jericho. Opponents like Hook, Eddie Kingston, etc. were only relevant in the grand scheme of things because they feuded with him. Let us Jericho fans enjoy him while he’s still around.

He needs to get back to top tier again not elevating young talent for a bit by losing to them. We need Jericho, Copeland, Cage 3 way feud for the belt and end with them together out of respect and run with trios belts
