Chris Jericho is a veteran in the pro wrestling business. Jericho has competed in numerous companies all over the world in his career, which has spanned more than 30 years. His most recent accomplishment drew a lot of attention in the pro wrestling world.
Jericho has been one of the mainstays of AEW television since he debuted back in 2019. Since then, he has taken part in many memorable feuds and competed in high-profile matches.
The Wizard also won the ROH World Championship on AEW Grand Slam after beating Claudio Castagnoli. While speaking on the latest edition of his Hall of Fame podcast, Booker T noted that Jericho winning the ROH World Title was the right call.
“I think it’s smart trying to put some light on that Ring of Honor title, that Ring of Honor brand. I don’t know what that Ring of Honor brand is anymore, other than it being a part of AEW now… I haven’t heard about any Ring of Honor shows. But if you’re trying to keep that name alive, that Ring of Honor name alive, to have the title on someone like Chris Jericho, I think it does that, you know? I think it’s important if you plan on doing something with that brand down the road, it’s important to keep that brand live.”
Le Champion also has no shame about competing at the age of 51. We will have to wait and see how he will be booked as the ROH World Champion in the coming weeks.
