Chris Jericho has been in the professional wrestling business for a long time, and he’s still going. Throughout the course of his career Jericho has won numerous championships, but it sounds like there are two title wins that are near and dear to his heart.
During a recent episode of Saturday Night Special, Chris Jericho talked about his favorite title wins, and he mentioned the Undisputed Championship before explaining why winning the AEW World Title was so important to him.
“The Undisputed Championship is one just because of the monumentalness of it but really honestly winning the AEW title for the first ever AEW World Championship because, and I say it all the time, when AEW started it was a gamble. People forget that. We started originally and we had an ad revenue share on TNT which means if we get ads we get a piece of it, not enough to sustain a company but we did such good ratings out of the gate that we signed the four-year extension for $175 million.
A lot of that first three month period was built of the back of Chris Jericho and the feud I had with Kenny [Omega], Hangman [Page] going into the Cody feud and just the fact that we took a chance to make this company something special and it worked because of me and everybody else but it was on my shoulders and suddenly I was able to give some of it to Kenny, some of it to Hangman, some to Cody, some to The Bucks as they became more well known and then we brought in Mox and the Inner Circle became huge. Then Max [MJF] got more steam and Jungle Boy, darby, Orange Cassidy, Britt Baker, Shida and now we have this team of twenty backs to hold this company on, and the passion of Tony Khan.”
