On the latest episode of The Kurt Angle Show, Angle and co-host Paul Bromwell watched the 07/05/01 episode of SmackDown. There, the young Jericho (in his Y2J gimmick) opened the show with Spike Dudley.
Bromwell commented on the longevity of Jericho, that the ‘Le Champion‘ is still opening shows at 50, and three decades into his career. Angle agreed and heaped some praises on the “Demo God”.
“He is incredible. For him to be able to do what he does at this level, at this point in his life is unreal,” Angle commented. “He hasn’t skipped a beat since the day he started, he’s an amazing talent, and he continues to be.”
Angle is absolutely right. Not only Jericho puts on stellar and unique matches like Blood and Guts and Stadium Stampede etc, but he also grooms the young wrestlers in AEW like Sammy Guevara, MJF, Santana Ortiz, and more.

Angle later looked back at this rivalry and commended Jericho over his relevance to this day. “I’m so jealous of that son of a gun. He’s my age, and how he’s still able to go at this level like he’s doing right now, especially after 25-30 years in the ring, he’s phenomenal,” Angle said once.

“He might go down in history; this is me speaking, but he might go down as top five of all time. He’s still as good as he ever was. I wouldn’t mind having one more round with Jericho, but that’s not going to happen,” Angle snubbed the possibilities of another feud.
