Does AEW have what it takes to one day surpass WWE? Let us know in the comments below!
No lol no company ever will. WWE is in a league of their own
Do they need to even, to be successful? No actually. Loaded question just to stir the pot of online discourse.
As a moneymaking commercial machine, not a chance, as a wrestling company, yes absolutely
@@LiamAddison08 That doesn't even make sense.
@@sameoldsameold9239 yeah it hurts doesn't it knowing that aew will never surpass wwe
If you don’t believe Jericho is the greatest, most influential thing to ever happen to wrestling, just ask him.
Great comment
Nice one
😂 brilliant
🤣🤣🤣
He is in his own right😁😎
"i believe Chris Jericho is the best thing that ever happened to pro wrestling"

Such a Humble interview from chris. Hes always so humble for a guy who apparently invented pro wrestling
Humble 😂😂😂😂
Chris Jericho is basically a wrestling god. He said so.
JBL is the first
Just got back from the hospital.. I am in complete remission from cancer.. THANKS Y2J x

I just graduated and it was all thanks to Chris Jericho

The Sun rising tomorrow morning will be due to Chris Jericho. 😂
What would we do if it weren’t for Chris Jericho ! I mean the guy planted every single tree in world! We should all be thankful
Thank you Chris Jericho without you i dont think wrestling would of exsisted
Are you serious. I love Jericho but wrestling has been great without him and it will be fine when he retires
@@813South I guess the sarcasm went right over your head.
@@gmac673 With these wrestling fans you never know. Remember there are some that think Orange Cassidy is mainevent talent and they think he is better than Omega
@@813South read their comment again. It clearly obvious that it’s made with tongue firmly in cheek.
@@813South Say whatever you want about Cassidy but he has fucking great matches and is an absolute workhorse.
Such a humble man.
😹😹💀
Gotta love Jericho....after all these years he's always managed to stay so humble!
So humble ! He only considers himself a legendary rockstar !
@NHL94Rebel then why are you even here? Virgin boy.
He used to be a wrestling star dude. We all loved him. Now he's lowered him to embarassing the wrestling business performing in this outlaw company in ridiculous fire ball throwing shark cage matches..death matches..lights out matches.. barbed wire everywhere sparkler on a table matches. Good grief it's such weak indy shi*. He's literally made me throw away all my Chris Jericho books I cherished for so many years on my shelf
@@FreeThinkAlways never read one of his books but I'm very curious how they were.
@@FreeThinkAlways Jericho is and always will be a legend I honestly give him mad props for still being able to wrestle on a high level not a lot of greats can still hang right now and Jericho can
Jericho: ***clears throat*** Me.
If only the rest of the world saw Jericho as Jericho sees Jericho 😂😂😂😂
I love him but not as much as he loves himself
@@stewartfan717 loved him a few years ago, his stuff in wwe was good, Japan good, start of aew.. good, post Cody feud… awful, downhill ever since
The man is a legend. No one can take that away from him. But my god he has just become insufferable since he went over to AEW.
Aew Jericho is painful
He needs time away and when he comes back he should work less. He’d mean much more to AEW that way.
I remember watching jericho in his WCW days monday night jericho, he's always been a sensational talent in the ring and on the mic, i'd like to see him an punk go at it in AEW.
“Anything I do is gunna be good” bro the painmaker exists 😂😂
Also, his entire discography
People rip into Chris Jericho but I think they all forget how much experience he has, how much of a name he is in Wrestling. AEW would not have taken off without someone like him coming onboard. As good as Omega, the Bucks etc are, they are not Jericho.
They haveing taken off they are very stagnet at the moment they a have lost viewers by the hundreds of thousand s

WITH HIS BARE HANDS
What I love about these interviews of guys that worked at the company for a long time, is that Vince just isn't what so many fans believe he is. He was totally cool and nice to Jericho out the door. Even had him on Broken Skull Sessions and he openly discussed AEW there. I think anyone that comes in and does good work for Vince, he personally cares about as a friend or even family, even if he's the one feeling like he has to let them go. Which is why he has let people go, and then brings them back later. He always leaves the door open.
“They say Chris Jericho is bigger than Jesus!,….I’m they” - Chris Jericho
WCW Jericho would hate todays Jericho.
So modest
Best decision by jericho…
Everyone gives him crap for being arrogant but think about it everything he tries he is successful in it, wrestling, singing,not so much acting but the masked singer and everytime there is a pop culture show they get him to talk about it bc he is so talented at running his mouth.
Jericho does make anything he's involved in better.
Moxley started bleeding when Chris mentioned his name
Y2J once saved me from a burning building. Oh, and he cured my cancer too. Thank you, Chrissy.
Jericho the LEGENNNNDDDDD
5:15 the originals made AEW safe for CM Punk, Bryan Danielson, Adam Cole.
CM Punk: having to endure the Page promo, the locker room broke out from the Elite and mega (the lawyer of AEW) which ended in a brawl, Jericho saying Punk is a cancer, the Elite and Jericho breaking out fake news to Meltzer.
Bryan Danielson: Suffering a huge concussion in Anarchy at the Arena (the match stipulation Jericho created and match in which he was part for his concussion)
Adam Cole: suffering a huge concussion at Forbidden door.
Yeahhhh pretty safe to say Jericho only cares on "cementing his legacy" no matter how much damage he does to AEW actually.
These are always legendary
Jericho = GOAT
When was this interview filmed? Jericho mentioned Punk without shitting on him...
Chris Jericho is the greatest. Just ask him yourself. He will tell you himself.
I want him to talk about his crazy hotel adventures 😂😂😂
His AEW work is almost as good as Fozzy.
Ouch 😂😂
AEW is almost as good as AWA in 1990 too
@@MasteroftheDDT That's not fair. At least AWA had wrestlers.
I don't think the real question should be can AEW surpass WWE. WWE is Disney, they're a full fledged global media company. All AEW needs to do is focus on the US, Canada and Western Europe... This is the part some people who don't like the WWE product anymore don't understand. When WWE is breaking ground on a new market, they're not concerned whether or not we like the segment with Jinder Mahal, and we all know damn well the Punjabi Prison Match VS Orton will be garbage with a sprinkle of Khali run-in... But the Indian market doesn't know that... That's billions of people exposed to WWE watching THEIR guy win the title... AEW can take 30% of the US/Canada market, which is more than enough to be a money making, profitable business, be where WWE was about 25 years ago size-wise and still make a LOT of wrestlers a LOT of money... They're playing on two different levels which is EXACTLY why Tony Khan keeps saying "We're not competing with WWE." Because they're not on the same economy of scale as WWE.
...not a great example. While Great Khali is a national hero in India, Jinder didn't even manage to get over there because they know damn well he's a Canadian. His World Championship run was a deliberate attempt by WWE to expand into India, and it _flopped._ They even had to cut down the number of shows they did on their tour there because it simply wasn't selling.
Regardless, it's not like AEW could ever surpass WWE, that's like asking whether any restaurant chain could ever surpass McDonalds. The way capitalism works, once a company establishes themselves as a clear #1 they will remain #1 _forever_ no matter what, because the majority will continue to flock to whatever the majority are already flocking to, like a snake eating its own Big Mac. Although I think if there's one market where AEW could _easily_ overtake WWE if they continue to focus on it, it's the UK.
@@ArcaneAzmadi I agree with most of what you say, but being #1 isn't forever. Something eventually changes that shakes things up. SEARS Roebuck was the #1 retail store for almost 90 yrs, then Wal Mart came along and they fell way out of 1st place, then Amazon came along and put them clean out of business. Its all about how long it takes to innovate beyond the competition...
I like how you play clips at the end but don't think them. Genius marketing move
Chris Jericho likes himself a lot of Chris Jericho.
Where can I watch the full version of this interview?
GOD IS JERICHO
That's really nice of Jericho to take credit for everything Cody did
Jericho sounds like Hogan talking about TNA
Tony Khan actually has money and sources at least unlike Dixie and Hulk for TNA haha
And Hogan was right.
@@philedmond Yeah, but he's a wrestling nerd, so his booking and writing sucks.
The beginning of AEW was so exciting… but man it’s so uninteresting now
i agree , the first 1 year was very exciting . But now its like blahhh . Nothing exciting about it now because no more wwe guys are jumping over
The last dynamite was great! Also CM Punks return and collision starting is going to be a new chapter for the company
I might not be a genius like Chris Jericho, but I did stay in a Holiday Inn last night.
Damn Chris Jericho and Chris McClain (Total Drama) have a LOT in common.
There are elements here of the Chris Jericho that everyone loved, but there's a lot of Hulk Hogan in this interview - you know, the guy Chris Jericho criticized for keeping young guys in WCW like himself down. A lot of his statements here sound like Hulk trying to justify his contract and booking in WCW.
The difference being that Hulk honestly COULD justify it, just by being Hulk Hogan. Production was often greater than what you had to tolerate (TNA stint notwithstanding). Jericho has never been that dude, and never will be. His ego has been out of control these last few years. Combine that with him being a snake that always latches on to the latest “hot” act and siphons all their heat, and I’ve absolutely come to dislike him lately.
Jericho has put over pretty much every young wrestler he's worked with. Has he won some matches? Of course. But his name wouldn't have value if all he did was lose. Show me who Hogan put over in WCW besides Goldberg who was already over? Jericho has put over Starks, Action A., MJF, and countless others while elevating people like Sammy and the inner circle (now JAS) along the way. Your argument is based AF and shows you don't watch the product. Honestly you wasn't even worth making this comment for.
@@emailjustinbyrd no one has gotten more over from working with Jericho in AEW. A few of them were over with that fan base before feuding with Jericho anyway and luckily haven’t been affected, but others like Eddie Kingston have suffered from a program with him. No one in any of his factions benefit from the affiliation, Sammy Guevara should try to break away because it has probably stalled (definitely slowed)any progress he could have been making these past couple of years.
@@emailjustinbyrd I can't agree more with what you've said.
@@gmac673 Err, but it's just not true.
Jericho having the main title solidified it as legit and then him having it put Moxley right in the centrepiece of the main event. Although Mox was a draw, the feud with Jericho made it legitimate.
His feud with MJF also moved the guy on from his endless dreary Cody feud and then the post Cody confusion he was in.
The two Stadium Stampede matches were excellent and the first in particular is one of my favourite matches ever. He was involved with them in a big way.
He's kept Jake Hager on telly when it would have been easy to lose him a la Miro or Lance Archer.
His labours of Jericho feud was pretty fun.
He's stalled a bit since forming the JAS because most of the JAS are pretty terrible and Sammy has far outgrown that angle now, but first half of AEW Jericho was on fire and making stars and angles left right and centre. If anything the JAS is the problem at the moment because they're still trying to book the JAS like the Inner Circle but whereas the IC were cool heels, and then tweeners, the JAS are just dull and full of undeveloped characters. I can't even tell you who's in them to be honest.
Jericho is in need of freshening up but people saying he never puts people over or spitting on him are being disingenuous. He doesn't have to be your cup of tea, that's cool, but the online mob mentality against him that's growing is just full of untruths and half remembered nonsense.
Jericho is awesome he oozes confidence and bravado his been successful at everything he has attempted held multiple titles for different wrestling companies check been in competitive matches with the very best in wrestling check cut promo's with the very best check successful podcast check lead singer of a popular rock band check made some popular songs with the band check now he's trying to help a Young wrestling company grow so it can someday compete with the WWE check people give him crap for being arrogant but the dude has earned the right to be a little cocky he's slowly becoming a genuine Goat entertainer/wrestler.
Watching Jericho talk I imagine is like watching your family being assassinated in-front of your very eyes
he is right about all the things he talks about in this video
The comments passed the vibe check 😂
Bot comments
Bigger than he was as Dean Ambrose? What fantasy world are they living in? They work 3 times a month. At best
Chris Jericho is the Stephanie McMahon of men's wrestling.
he as invented MEN!
i love how all the comments are about how much jericho loves himself but i think we all love him equally as he does and eat up everything he says, and i don't watch aew at all.
Who wants TV Time??!! I know I do!"
Chris Jericho, Le Champíon, the best in the world at what he does
This man is clearly high of the smell of his own farts.
It's a shame, he's been in the biz for so long that he knows a lot of cool deets but you can never know how truthful and real what he says is.
2:40 'Recruiter'
Ohh he said that anyway
Chris Jericho did so much for AEW, but I don’t think AEW elevated him at all. WWE made Y2J and reached the top with them
The video has been up mere minutes and already have plenty of anti AEW comments. The IWC is truly... something, if not predictable. 🙄
its just weird man. People like to pick sides. Be apart of "the good guys". Same thing as actual politics 😅
Love how one comment calls them low budget, when WWE constantly makes cuts to have worse entrance themes (With only exceptions being top stars), removing details titantron videos and replacing sets with just giant screens that play pretty simple animations and tons of duplicate belt designs...
Still happy both companies exist though as competition is far better for fans and wrestlers rather than a monopoly at the top.
@@ProWrestlingPsychology101Exactly. Plus at least politics can effect people's lives. Wrestling is just wrestling, these tribes need to get over themselves.
It’s the younger generation that doesn’t know how good the late 90s were with competition. WWE fans don’t give a crap about the talent or what they do if they are released. Not to mention competition equals more money for their sports entertainers. I had no watched WWE that much in the last decade and AEW made me actually enjoy wrestling again.
the amount of hate AEW gets from WWE fans is insane. but if anything, it proves to every moderate person that they view AEW as competition otherwise why else do they talk about it so much?
Vince also told Bret, Hall and Nash to "take it" when WCW offered. You're not special.
And now he's just like the Hulk Hogan of AEW
No, he isn't. This is ridiculous unfounded nonsense and I'm more than fed up of it.
Does Jericho always have the main title? Nope.
Does Jericho always win his feuds? Nope.
Does he habitually lie? Not that other wrestlers say.
Does he get hired only his friends? Nope.
Does he wrestle the same match and same feud to preserve his legacy? Nope.
Jericho isn't anything like Hogan. Jericho DOES believe his own hype but, frankly, he should because he's great. And all the same marks moaning about him how all agreed and moaned that he was held down in WWE by HHH or whoever... now they've turned on him because he dared say anything about the all saving all saintly CM Punk, and stood into locker room leader mode. And got himself over.
How dare he be successful. He's only ever any good if he's not pushed and then the moaners can moan about that instead. But frankly, I'm bored with this moaning.
@@JeremiahEcks777 these paragraphs defending Jericovid 😂
@@NickRaymond871and yet he pull out a lot of good point there.
So he's the guy people actually pay to see and who draws the money while no one else cares about the flippy dippy indie darlings?
No he actually puts talent over
Is there somewhere to watch the entire live show interview?
no unfortunately, inside the ropes usually only kept a few clip here in there but most of the interview are for the people who have the chance to see it IRL.
"Made return safe for guys like Punk" IMFAO 😂😂😂
And he's right.
G.O.A.T.
Is this the same tour where he trashed an English hotel?
I grantee you
AEW and WWE
WORK TO TOGETHER
Chris is the absolute complete goat entertainer wrestler the man
This guy can literally never tell a story without taking credit for the topic
Luckily he is super modest and not full of himself at all
I don’t know if I agree with the comment that John Moxley is bigger than Dean Ambrose and a viewers standpoint. At this current state, AEW can’t even sell 2000 tickets to their weekly show.
Me too
4 minutes in and "SHOCKING" hasn't happened yet
I get to a degree that there was some legacy risk for established names taking an initial dive on an unproven company like AEW but the risk a lot of them like to sell it as being gets hyped more than it really was. Guys like Jericho or JR, and I don’t fault them whatsoever and would do the same exact thing as them if I had the leverage like they did, locked down huge financial guarantees over multiple years whether the venture was a success or failure and had zero financial risk by taking the gamble knowing that they were financially set whatever the outcome was. And judging by what was said at the time they were paid the most they ever had been to make their move. And if it had flopped how hard would it have been to just say why they took the gamble, point out the difficulty of that succeeding and mentioning that they were being paid the most they ever had been to take the risk so they did? Their legacies were long established and I highly doubt they’d have had any major issues going back considering they gave Vince a chance to match the deals and the deals were so good Vince told them to take the deals. Their biggest risk was realistically bruising their egos with a giant amount of money for doing so and Vince laughing about them bleeding the idiot kid who thought he’d actually have a chance to compete with him. And he points out all the time that what he had available with the WWE wasn’t appealing anyways so what was he truly risking? Respect for taking a gamble but doesn’t seem like it would’ve been a hard decision to make and props to them because they earned what they were offered.
Yep ye-yep yep.. werp wa-werp werp.. Im so humble.. lol
bring him back as champ
Aew isn't bigger in the uk 😂 its on itv at 9pm obviously its going to get more views than wwe which is on bt sport at 1am
Im surprised during the interview that CJ didn't play his boombox too loud and get kicked out of the building
Moxley doesn't seem any better to be honest
Anyone know how tf I can watch the full interviews? Not just segments
Vince really loves y2j
We need to be saying "thank you chris"
Respect for going against Gage
Why? He's trash
There's still parts of AEW that I enjoy over WWE, like their tag team and midcard division. But they've added so many former WWE guys and people past their prime that it has affected the "cool factor" it had maybe until a year ago. Jericho can't go in the ring anymore, yet he's constantly on tv and his supposed "mentorship" hasn't visibly translated to the product.
Think that's a really lazy, terrible shout tbh
That doesn't really make sense considering most of the top names early on in AEW were 'former WWE guys'. Cody, Jericho, Moxley, PAC to name a few, they dominated the main event scene early on. Bringing in Miro, Punk, Danielson, Malakai, Andrade and Cole didn't seem to affect the 'cool factor', if anything AEW got hotter and 'cooler' around that time.
What changed was the booking in AEW took a slight dip while WWE saw a surge of momentum with Triple H in charge.
Idk why they think people wanna see Jeff Jarrett in 2023
@@UFCWWE69 Because he's doing gangbusters work. The people who are actually _watching_ AEW are loving what he's doing, he gets mega heat, he's incredibly entertaining, he _can_ still go because he's kept himself in great shape for his age and unlike in the other 3 major companies he was in (WWF, WCW and TNA) he's not in the main event or holding any titles. It's probably the most over he's been in 3 decades.
AEW never had a cool factor.
Where can we see these full interviews?
Without Chris Jericho Hulk Hogan never would have slammed Andre at Wrestlemania 3!!!
someone wanna tell me how to watch the whole thing?
I almost yelled the word "RECRUITING!" out loud to a UA-cam video.
I need to touch grass...
I love the fact that even if it’s 💯% true that Jericho is a giant egotistical ham in real life it just feeds into his on screen persona thus making the perfect Heel for the trudish smarky internet fans
Damn. Jericho is like this company is only alive beavuse of me lol
Hell we all are alive because of him.
The defeat of Rock and Stone Cold on the same night clearly went to his head a long time ago lol
Lenny Lane is still around?
Jericho couldn’t think of the word recruit. Lol
It’s because he was solving complex algorithms in his head during this interview!
The comment section created a meme and its hilarious
how can I watch the full interview?
The delusion in this man is off the charts
AEW tnowh if y2j went to that permotionl and I think it was good idea 💡 and he's work is next level 👌
As long as Vince has his fingers on wwe operation.. the chance if y2j coming back is a possibility
Why is it censored?
AEW is getting better and better. And I love it.
I’m not seeing it. It’s still more miss than hit and it can’t grow it’s audience at all. Having goofy 150lb champions like Orange Cassidy and allowing people like Jericho and Moxley to do whatever they want to the detriment of the show doesn’t help either.
I watched the podcast mox did with renne where he explained everything. Moxley didn't do anything to detriment the company lmao
@@shadowedlvnar1635 Mox has the same match every match.
Driving force to be reckoned with 😂
