    Chris Jericho, known for his incredible talent and versatile personas, has had a career filled with memorable moments and characters. Known to reinvent himself according to the time from Lionheart to The Codebreaker; Y2J to The Painmaker he had done it all. However, his latest gimmick "The Learning Tree" stands out as a particularly misguided attempt for now.

      I think that’s kind of the point it’s meant to be a parody of the face of the company, legend, babyface who, in reality, is out of touch, sneakily surrounds himself with other people to get an advantage and backstage politics his way into success.
      That’s why he says “that’s not gonna work for me brother”
      He’s also meant to be an anti tweener, the opposite of stone cold, he’s an anti hero who behaves heelishly but is actually fighting for the fans.
      Chris Jericho is the opposite, he’s apparently harmless and seems to give people advice, but when it comes to it, his out for himself only.

      That's exactly what Vince and co. have always done with any controversy involving the WWE and/or its wrestlers (Shawn's past, Montreal screwjob, Edge and Lita, etc.). It logically shouldn't work, but thanks to human nature, it does.
      Just mock and deny any criticism (legit or not) directed at you until the other side gets tired of trying to get you to own up or they get pressured into giving up by those who are over it. Not to get political, but Trump is good at this too.

      Exactly! I mean look at Daniel Garcia. Khan's booking him in the title picture now, and it would be justified HAD Jericho Appreciation Society put Garcia over sufficiently beforehand. However, Garcia was used as an enforcer/jobber to put Jericho over instead, and when they did focus on him they sabotaged and ruined it, so Garcia's current push seems like it just came out of nowhere.

    Unpopular opinion: I like the gimmick. It should have had someone more obnoxious than Big Bill as a member. Big Bill is trying to make it work but still. It should be a fun gimmick but when the bell rings, Jericho should just flat go in the ring and kick ass. It should be a rude awakening, like a warning - "We're being goofy but don't forget what we can do". The gimmick hasn't been around for long yet to be hated that much. The "hi guys" thing is starting to catch on. I want to see how it turns out.

    This is, by far, the worst gimmick Chris Jericho has ever done. It's bad enough he has to play a fake-ass Mister Rodgers, but banning Taz from commentary because of his feud with Hook, that's just taking it too far. If Taz gets replaced by Nigel McGuiness, I will never forgive Jericho for this. And if those so-called EVPs, "Matthew" and "Nicolas", agreed with this, then they are as bad as he is. For SHAME!!

      No kidding lol He was the first undisputed champion, he was a mutli time world champion, he had gimmicks like Y2J, heel Jericho in a speedo, and the List of Jericho gimmick, he pulled off ridiculous gimmicks and made them amazing, he was an amazing main eventer and mid carder, his feuds with Shawn Michaels are legendary, his team with KO was awesome, he did everything. In AEW he helped start up the company, was the first AEW world champion, led a few factions, and had the Le Champion gimmick. Which is HOF worthy, but not as legendary as his WWE run where he was in his prime and lasted almost two decades. Saying WWE Jericho is better is like saying chocolate is better than fish, fish is good but chocolate is on another level lol

    Jericho is one of the reasons why I started watching WCW. He’s been one of my absolute top favorite wrestlers for over 25 years.
    But now he ironically feels more like Randy the Ram from “The Wrestler” than Randy Savage’s ponytail and mesh spandex shirt era. He looks old and haggard and he’s bowlegged as all hell now from decades of wrestling which makes him look broken down.
    I think Shawn Michaels post-2002 was way better than Shawn Michaels pre-1998 and when he retired he was still in the tail end of his prime and the only thing he was losing was more hair. Jericho is way past that retirement window and is now firmly in that Undertaker after losing to Roman Reigns window. Except Undertaker still had enough goodwill because he only showed up once or twice a year.

    AEW in general need to stop with the "I AM WHATEVER YOU SAY I AM" gimmicks.
    that's what Jericho is doing (and his whole problem is, we aren't getting what we used to get inbetween Jericho gimmicks....A BREAK. He has been on TV THE ENTIRE TIME BETWEEN JAS AND THIS. back in the day, he used to vanish for like 6 months plus, then when he comes back you're ready to see him), that's what the Bucks are doing, that's what naming a match "blood and guts" is.

There's not much talents left from his era like him, there's Christian Cage, Adam Copeland, Billy Gunn, Eddie's gone, Benoit's gone, even Cena who came into business later than him is going to retire, most of them either retired or gone to obscurity. So just enjoy what's left of him, folks. You don't expect everybody to be like Ric Flair.

    The irony is despite all the complaints it's getting a reaction out of people and people talk about it frequently so it's clearly working. If he came out to dead silence and people gave zero reaction that'd be a different story.

    I think since the allegations, people turned on him, regardless if there's a case or not. Even before that, it definitely felt like he overstayed his welcome in professional wrestling. There isn't much left for Jericho to do in wrestling besides helping elevate younger talent. If he had to make three different factions since the start of AEW, I think that's already a little much in a short span of time.

    Nothing against Big Bill, or the Bounty Hunter, but for me it is certainly the worst Jericho gimmick. I mean, he has had some cold periods, or some bad creative in his career before like most everyone else, but I would gladly take any previous version of Jericho over this. Not to mention, as a fan of HOOK's trio I'm annoyed they're currently stuck in this dead-end feud with Jericho. Otherwise, I want to emphasize that I really like most of what AEW is doing lately, especially that last Dynamite, but the best thing I can say for this character is I can always use a restroom/snack break.

And I don't think it's the SA allegations bc at the end of the day, they're just allegations. There's no truth in it until it's confirmed. And I'd honestly be surprised if Jericho was a POS like that. Either way he's still a great worker and I'm gonna really miss him when he retires. I don't think ppl genuinely think Jericho should retire, I think it's kinda like Kurt Angle's "you suck", nobody actually thinks he sucks lol And from what I've heard Jericho's slowing down in the ring, so if they DO mean it, that's prolly the reason lol
