Jericho told Fox News Digital in a recent interview he wanted his career to be remembered similarly to a great rock and roll band.
“I think it’s like a great rock and roll band, you know?” he said. “I mean, the Rolling Stones just put out a new album, and it’s amazing, but the Stones have been 60 years and some of the eras you like, some of the eras you hate, some of the eras you wish they would have gone away, and some of the eras you wish they would have done more, and you’re still glad that they’re here. I think when I’m done, people will be sad that I’m not around anymore.”
He said he believed people who dislike him currently may miss him once he hangs up his boots.
“And I think a lot of the people that you mentioned social media wise that don’t like me just because I’m still doing this will realize like, hey, we had something pretty cool there, we should have been watching a little bit more because all I ever do is give my best 1,000% for whatever situation I’m in to make it better, to make my opponent better, to make me better, to make the company better, to make the show better, and I’m very proud of all the work that I’ve done,” he said.
“And that’s why I still do it, that’s why I still love wrestling and making documentaries involving wrestling, per se, because I think it’s such a wonderful sport that really does tie the world together, wonderful form of entertainment. I live my dream doing something that I always wanted to do and here I’m doing it almost longer than anybody else at a high level. I think that’s something to be proud of.”
Jericho is currently competing in AEW, returning to programming in April. His documentary, “Vietslam,” released Tuesday as well.
In the ring, he started a feud with Ricochet and ended it at Double or Nothing in a Stadium Stampede match.
