Chris Jericho Reveals Favorite Tag Team Partner Of All Time

Chris Jericho is a veteran in the world of professional wrestling and has competed in the ring for over three decades. He has been a part of numerous tag teams over the course of his career.

Le Champion recently interviewed his father Ted Irvine on an episode of his Talk Is Jericho podcast. Among various topics of discussion, Jericho revealed who his favorite tag team partner of all time is.

He revealed it to be none other than The Big Show. Here is what he said:

“Show is my favorite tag team partner of all time, by far. That was because I was tag team champions with Edge and Edge tore his Achilles tendon and he was going to be out for eight months. They didn’t want to strip me of the titles, so Vince wanted me to have another partner because we were going into a feud with DX. A lot of people wanted to put me with a young guy and I said, we can’t do this, DX will eat you alive unless I have somebody that’s a world champion level.

I suggested Kane and Vince suggested Big Show. I said, great, but no more comedy and he needs to get rid of the one-sided strap. I wanted him in tights.  He wanted a singlet. I said we are going to remember how big he is and he is going to be a giant with me. Vince said, ‘Absolutely.’ That’s where it started.  Every match we ever had, I won because of him. He would always knock the guy out. Then we got so close, we ended up being like an old married couple where I would have an idea and then he would come up with an idea. I would say, ‘yeah that’s good, but mine’s better.’ He would say, ‘Fine, I’ll just sit here and be a big stupid giant and won’t say a word.’ We had a great chemistry and a great friendship. He was an excellent partner for sure.”

Jeri-Show had a great run as a tag team as they were the Unified Tag Team Champions. They feuded with the likes of D-Generation X.

Jericho is currently the leader of the Inner Circle and remains a highlight of AEW Dynamite.
