Chris Jericho Comments On WWE Rumors, Says Fan Opinion Can Become Law When It Spreads
Chris Jericho responds to the rumors.
Before his return to AEW in April, there was a bunch of speculation and discussion surrounding the wrestling future of Chris Jericho. Many fans believed that he would return to WWE, which added a bigger surprise element to his AEW return.
Speaking with David Shoemaker of Ringer Wrestling for a new interview, Jericho was asked about the reports/rumors of him possibly having talks with WWE during his free agency period.
“The interesting thing about fans — going back to what we said earlier about having a career where you can watch anything online — is that fans in this day and age, they form their own opinions and then it becomes law because the opinions spread. Whatever people believed or didn’t believe, I was not ever a part of any of it. I think the best part was there was so much speculation of what is he going to do that either way, with the tribalism of wrestling nowadays, there’d be people happy about it and not happy about it. This is the worst thing ever and this is the best thing ever. I’ve never really focused on that side of like, this is terrible and it’s never going to work. To me, anything can work and you always want to do your best to make it work. I focus on the people who are excited about things and the people who want to be entertained and want to be happy and want to have fun. That’s kind of the crowd that I focus on.”
Jericho clarified his comments by leaving things up in the air.
“I’ll leave that for another day. I like the idea of the intrigue.”
