Professional wrestling legend and top AEW Star Chris Jericho took to his "Talk Is Jericho" podcast to speak about a variety of topics such as the surprise he felt from Vince McMahon’s retirement after he was a part of the pro wrestling industry for over 40 years as Vince beat the government and he’s been through several scandals and he will defeat this one as well.
Chris Jericho said:
“40 years plus of wrestling and Vince McMahon synonymous and then done, that quick. Boom, gone.” “And it really did surprise me because, once again, maybe because you and I live within kind of the wrestling bubble where it’s like, ‘It’s just wrestling. Nobody in the corporate world takes wrestling history. He beat the government, and he’s been through this scandal, and he’s been through that scandal, and this one will just go away.’ I was really thinking for a while that it was just going to be kind of a flash in the pan, and Vince would make it disappear like he did everything else.”
Jericho appeared on the “True Geordie” podcast about a month ago and talked very little regarding the allegations Vince is facing, but he did say he was skeptical about the former WWE Chairman facing any punishment and he even believed that the situation would ultimately be forgotten months later.
