Tony Khan recently appeared as a guest on The Masked Man Show for an in-depth interview covering all things pro wrestling and AEW.
During the appearance on The Ringer-hosted program, the boss-man at All Elite Wrestling and Ring Of Honor spoke about Chris Jericho with show-hosts David Shoemaker and Kazeem Famuyide.
Khan specifically noted how the leader of the Jericho Appreciation Society is looking and performing better than ever after going through blood clot issues while in England at the end of 2021.
“At the end of last year, it’s crazy to think that Chris Jericho was out with a blood clot, was actually stuck in England, and couldn’t fly back," Khan stated during the interview. "It ended up being the best thing that’s ever happened in Chris’ career, and one of the best things that happened to AEW because Chris came back better than ever, looking better than ever, lost 31 pounds, and looks like 5 or 6 years ago when Chris was really in peak shape."
The AEW and ROH President continued, "Now he’s back in that shape. We’ve never seen this Jericho in AEW, which is scary because he’s been in so many of our biggest moments and was our first champion. He’s probably as strong a wrestler as we’ve ever had in AEW and he’s better than ever right now."
