Finn Balor respects Chris Jericho's contributions to the wrestling industry, saying "The Wizard" transcends promotional barriers and eras in time.

Finn Balor is a journeyman of the wrestling industry following in the footsteps of names like Eddie Guerrero, Dean Malenko, and Chris Jericho. Currently, Chris Jericho is still wrestling and some would argue, including Tony Khan, that Chris Jericho is having the best year of his career in 2022.

He's been able to adapt and change his character to suit multiple generations and I feel like he is a treasure of this industry," said Finn.
