“Three years ago those same people that are chanting please retire were saying Jericho’s the greatest of his generation. Kenny (Omega) vs. Jericho at the Tokyo Dome was the match that changed the course of history and everyone was talking about it and how great it (was). So, I think the biggest thing is just that I’ve been around for so long, working on top, never getting hurt, so I’m always here. It’s not like I force myself onto the shows because my ego is so big I can’t handle not being on it.”

“I work for my boss who puts me on TV because it draws ratings. There’s a whole thing, Jericho has go-away heat, like that’s not true. Look at the ratings every week. I mean, not every week, but I’d say 80 percent of the time my segment goes up. It’s one of the biggest gainers on the show. There’s a lot of people that just refuse to believe anything else.”

“The facts are I’m still one of the most valuable characters on the show for many different reasons and if I told Tony Khan I wanted to take six months off, he’d say, ‘Are you kidding me? There’s no way.'”
“Sting at 64 retired and everybody’s different. To me, when the please retire chants were going I was laughing because it’s like I have zero intentions of that. I mean, I’ve got a six-pack and I can do a moonsault and I know exactly what I’m doing in the ring. I know how to write storylines, I like the company I work for, I like my boss, I like the guys and girls in the company. Why would I want to retire? What’s the point? Just because somebody told me to? F**k off.”

“You retire when you know it’s time, when you know it’s right and it’s not the right time right now, it’s not. I say it all the time, I know as long as I know I can still have the best match of the night, not every night, but I can still do it, I’m gonna stay. As long as I can still continue to have good ideas and feel motivated and passionate, I’m gonna stay.”

“I still look like Chris Jericho and act like Chris Jericho and work like Chris Jericho so until that moment where I feel like okay, this needs to stop, I’ve got no intentions of it. Like I said, there’s no timeline on it. It could be this week, it could be five years from now, I don’t know.”

Lol the trashiest news paper in the UK he went too. How bigs his head. Another ego way outta check. It's always the ex WWE stars that say the stupidest crap. Are the ratings up when he's on?

Did anyone ever see the 4chan post when a wrestler from aew was on it saying this type of crap. It was either Shawn spears or this douche .

Said stuff about Samoa joe getting released from WWE. Knew lots of stuff too. Said TK likes to get loaded on snow. Kylie Rae done some weird stuff as well. Just by the way I'm reading this in full context makes think it was Jericho.

Must be a pretty bad night of matches.

I like how he basically said, “people loved me 3 years ago and now they want me to retire it makes no sense”.

Well that’s kinda how time works Jericho.

I still think Jericho is worth having on TV even if it's not on the upper card of it.

Dude will never willingly retire and TK feels like he owes Jericho since he was the first bonafide HoFer to sign on for AEW. We are stuck with him til he croaks
