Chris Jericho recently appeared as a guest on "The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy" podcast for an in-depth interview covering all things pro wrestling.
During his appearance on the program, the leader of the Jericho Appreciation Society spoke about remaining at a certain level and what it takes, building new stars and more.
Featured below are some of the highlights from the interview where he touches on these topics with his thoughts.
On how remaining at a certain level requires working with younger guys: “We’ve revamped ourselves and evolved. We never had to wrestle each other. We’ve done that before. The key to us staying at a certain level is working with younger guys. It elevates them and it elevates us too.”
On how it's not a nostalgia hour, and that building new stars is priority: “All my programs in AEW have been with younger guys. I could work Matt. I could work Christian. We don’t have to. We’ve done that before. This is not the fuc*ing nostalgia hour. This is about continuing to strive to evolve, build, and make new stars.”
On how fans know about what their exposure means: “The people know our exposure from our time in WWE. Then they see, ‘Oh my god, Orange Cassidy is hanging with Chris Jericho or Orange Cassidy is hanging with Matt Hardy?’ It just works.”
