Let’s call a spade a spade and admit that Chris Jericho is active in the ring at an age when most pro wrestlers retire. At 52, The Ocho still displays phenomenal athleticism between the ropes. Maybe it’s the DDP Yoga or Jericho is just born awesome. However, naturally, Jericho’s performance in the ring is a far cry from what he was like in his 20s. After his recent match in AEW, Jericho took flak from the fans.
The recent edition of AEW Dynamite saw Chris Jericho and Saraya facing off against Adam Cole and Britt Baker in a losing effort. During the action, Jericho had Cole locked in a somewhat breakable ‘Walls of Jericho’. At this point, Britt Baker made her way into the ring and caught Jericho in a LockJaw. While Jericho struggled, Saraya broke the hold, saving the day. Fans on Twitter have interesting remarks on the match and Baker putting Jericho in the LockJaw.

It’s worth noting that aside from being a wrestler, Jericho is also involved in the management of AEW. The former AEW World Champion is also a mentor to younger talents. At this juncture in his career, Jericho aims to help put over younger wrestlers.
Nevertheless, the wrestling legend has nothing left to prove in the ring but help build the future of AEW. Jericho recently revealed his regrets about not getting to wrestle two wrestling legends in his prime.

Despite having a storied wrestling career, Jericho stated on Talk Is Jericho that he regrets not having the chance to wrestle Macho Man Randy Savage and Bret The Hitman Hart.
“Savage is on fire right here, man. What a f—ing talent. That’s one of my biggest regrets — I never got to work with Bret or Savage, even though I was in WCW with both of them!”
