On This Day in AEW History

[Tyler2]

@Tyler2 Jericho is the master of changing gimmicks but he hasn't had a break since starting. He's one of the best to ever do it.

It's just crazy how it's like as soon as he stopped using judas the crowd started cooling off. There was a time where it almost seemed like he had the midas touch in wrestling. Casuals and diehards loved him and he seemed like he could do no wrong

Fair points all of them. He's got control over his creative and it might be the fact he's either exposed himself as not being as good as he was not surprised he's in his fifties doing a full schedule will be draining. Or he's just ran out of gimmicks and is just declining steadily. It's up too Tony Khan to tell him but Tony won't as he doesn't work that way which is fair enough . Maybe he could get Chris Daniels who's similar age to Jericho and Has done a lot.in wrestling not Jericho level but high enough too be a highly respected guy.

Maybe Jericho should take a break, get some new gear. And comeback with Enemy as his theme song

I don't even think a break would help if he comes back doing the same stuff. He needs to just turn babyface and play the hits, have his legends tour which he's afraid of. Try this hard to get heels over instead of babyfaces maybe

Yea we need time of n then legends tour losing to Jay White and other heels who need the rub. Good call Chris

I thought it was gonna happen during/after the MJF feud but then he just turned heel and formed 2 more stables

the fact he teased going face with kenny of all people and went lol jk im heel again is annoying. tho ig at least they actually pivoted and big bill getting over

That was at least a legit pivot but I'd call him weak for doing it as fast as he did instead of actually trying to get over as a face again, he took the easy way out

at least theyve not lazily thown sammy back with him - tho even he has a belt i still feel he is on thin ice and under papa rhodes strict supervision

Rumor mill said Sammy said no which is both believable in ways and not bc I 100% buy that they would have asked him and that he may have said no, I'm just less certain that he'd have been booked the way he has if he turned down a pitch lol but if he turned it down and in the same breath pitched the Dustin thing, I could see it

 

[Bad News Booty]

Unfortunately Jericho seems to love only being a heel and I don’t see anyone making him not be

Chris always has decent ideas. You're bang on point with him giving the rub to others.
