Sans nécessairement nier qu’il a eu des offres de la part de la WWE pour un retour cette année, Chris Jericho affirme que les spéculations à ce sujet ont été souvent exagérées.
Jericho, qui a finalement décider de demeurer à la AEW après une pause d’un an, a mentionné dans une entrevue pour Ringer Wrestling que les fans ont imaginé bien des choses sur son avenir en tant que lutteur.
“The interesting thing about fans — going back to what we said earlier about having a career where you can watch anything online — is that fans in this day and age, they form their own opinions and then it becomes law because the opinions spread. Whatever people believed or didn’t believe, I was not ever a part of any of it. I think the best part was there was so much speculation of what is he going to do that either way, with the tribalism of wrestling nowadays, there’d be people happy about it and not happy about it.”
Jericho préfère par ailleurs se concentrer sur les fans qui affichent une attitude positive et qui sont là pour vivre de bons moments, sans se casser la tête.
“This is the worst thing ever and this is the best thing ever. I’ve never really focused on that side of like, this is terrible and it’s never going to work. To me, anything can work and you always want to do your best to make it work. I focus on the people who are excited about things and the people who want to be entertained and want to be happy and want to have fun. That’s kind of the crowd that I focus on.”
