Chris Jericho has been a very hot topic over the last few months ever since he challenged Kenny Omega to a match at Wrestle Kingdom 12. Omega accepted the challenge, and their epic match is set to go down at the Tokyo Dome in a matter of hours.
Over the course of his career Chris Jericho has wrestled the best of the best, and at Wrestle Kingdom it will be Alpha vs. Omega.
Jericho has wrestled all over the world, and he’s made quite a few friends along the way. Now the first ever WWE Undisputed Champion is dedicating his Wrestle Kingdom 12 match to two friends who are no longer with us.
Chris Jericho shared some fan art featuring an illustration of him with Chris Benoit and Eddie Guerrero, and he dedicated the match to his fallen brothers.
The post is a sad reminder that unfortunately the wrestling world has lost some of the greats all too soon.
It’s also a reminder that not everyone gets to have a lengthy run at the top like Chris Jericho has had.
Man, definitely a sad reminder of what we missed indeed. I’m not sure if they’d still be wrestling at their ages if they were still alive, but I’m pretty sure they’d still be involved in pro-wrestling in some capacity, be as an agent or whatever. I know he’s probably getting a good bit of undue heat for dedicating this match to them, especially Benoit, but that doesn’t mean he’s not allowed to mention them. They were all friends so, yeah, chill internet.
