Some old wrestling fans stayed back after the game to watch Dynamite. The first match in the show was Inner Circle vs Top Flight. Putting aside the match, many were shocked to see Jericho, the leader of the Inner Circle, in a ‘shabby’ physique. Soon, they started tweeting, and it became a huge thing.
@AEWonTNT came on after the celtics finished and i heard Jim Ross so i kept it on and then Chris jericho came out which was a suprise but an even bigger suprise was how bad he looks. Yikes
After all these years in the business, Jericho has developed a thick skin for haters and trolls on the internet. However, this time, the ‘Le Champion’ fired back.
Chris Jericho trolls the haters on Twitter
A fan showed support for Jericho as he wrote, “People are body shaming one of the greatest wrestlers of all time. The dude is 50+ and probably in better shape than half the trolls on here.”
Jericho retweeted that and followed it up with his response, similar to what the fan wrote –
Awwww they are? Well either way, I guarantee I can do more timed pushups, weighted squats and incline sit-ups than all of them AND still draw record ratings. I have a really thick skin, kids.... 😘 #LeChampion
People are body shaming one of the greatest wrestlers of all time @IAmJericho 😂 . Dude is 50+ and probably in better shape then half the trolls on here. 🐐
Apart from his fans, Jericho found an unlikely ally in fellow AEW member, Abandon. She posted –
Body shaming? Don't know him.
Despite the Twitter drama, Jericho is thriving in AEW. He and the Inner Circle picked up the first victory of Holiday Bash as they defeated Top Flight. Wrestling Observer Radio noted that Jericho turned down many ideas from Top Flight and conducted the match in his way.
