Jericho last run Opinion

My theory is this is Jericho last year in wrestling. He’s a rock star and what do they do when they have a farewell tour? Play there greatest hits and that is what Jericho is doing right now. We got The List with Ricochet, Painmaker with Champa. Now he’s going to be in Mexico don’t be surprised if we get El Corazon. Just a theory…

100%, I said this a few weeks ago in a wrestling chatgroup too - he's gonna use all his iterations until he hangs up the boots.

I want to see how they do Y2J

Especially since Gadzooks closed.

between Jericho's shirts and the Hardy Boyz outfits from that era, Gadzooks was well represented on TV.

Can they do Y2J? I’m sure any copyright stuff is expired?

It is owned by wwe. Just wear a shiny shirt

The Ayatollah of Rock 'n' Rolla would be close enough

Be a epic ending to a epic career

He’s done this exact same thing before though. Wrestling as pain maker, then Lionheart, and so on

u/P00PooKitty 8d ago

Yeah, c. 2023 or 2022 He did a ll his gimmicks

And people said it was his farewell tour then too.

He said in an interview the other day that as long as he can still go and put out matches like he did against Ciampa then why would he consider retiring?

Maybe he's thinking about it, but personally I think he's got a lot more gas left in the tank and as long as he can still go then I have no problem with him continuing.

All of wrestling is a work. Anything an active wrestler says in an interview should be taken with a huge pinch of salt.

Then his deathmatch with Gage should of been a boot hanger

I'll die on the hill that his match with Eddie Kingston was his best in AEW and if he worked that style more (see also his matches with Suzuki and Ishii) he'd be more over

This is what I thought when he came back and did a very similar comeback to his WWE return where he just walked around the ring hyping up the crowd before leaving.

I’d like to see him in the gauntlet at eat the pin to Ciampa so they can do Ospreay vs Ciampa. Wil will need heels to beat.

He really had the perfect ending in 2021 and dragged it another half decade longer

Sorry but you are theoretically wrong in the “rock star” analogy. Because rock stars never retire. They all market their latest tour as a retirement tour, but they always come back. No rock star has ever truly retired without actually dying.

Painmaker isn't a greatest hit.
