Chris Jericho has been in the professional wrestling business for decades now and he’s achieved major success. Currently Jericho is one of the top stars in All Elite Wrestling and he’s showing no signs of slowing down.
Recently the former AEW World Champion spoke to the Daily Star about his future in wrestling and he noted that right now he enjoys what he’s doing backstage in All Elite Wrestling.
“I don’t know what the future of me and wrestling is. I could quit tomorrow, or I could quit in six years, I don’t know. I’ll worry about that when it happens. Right now, I do enjoy the backstage role of helping guys and girls out with their interviews and promos. There’s a lot of stuff I do backstage at AEW. When we have Dynamite, I get there at 1 and leave at 11 or 12 – it’s non-stop, all the time. That’s fun for me, but to exclusively do just that? I don’t know. I still like being part of the show.”
Last year Chris Jericho became and 8 time world champion when he won the Ring of Honor World Championship. Jericho indicated that he doesn’t feel he needs to win another title at this point in his career as he’s focused on telling stories.
“Do I want to be world champion? If you don’t, you shouldn’t be in the business. But do I need to be? Probably not. I don’t really need a belt to be in the main event so as long as I can continue to tell stories that help grow the show, the talent and me… I just think that I’m really happy with what we’re doing. My biggest goal is to see us continue to build this amazing universe.”
Chris Jericho will face Ricky Starks at the AEW Revolution pay-per-view on Sunday, March 5th. Stay tuned for more updates as they become available.
