One of the first matches between Chris Jericho and Dr. Luther took place in 1991 in Canadian National Wrestling Alliance (CNWA). Since then, the two men have been good friends behind the scenes.

Luther never took off like his friend Jericho, but he has still performed all over the world for different promotions. In 2019, Luther joined AEW as a wrestler and producer. Chris Jericho was ecstatic to have his friend work alongside him, and posted the following on Instagram:

“After 30 years of riding the roads and taking bumps worldwide, @dr.luther signed his first national US contract today w @allelitewrestling! #Luther has impressed a lot of people over the last 4 months and finally was rewarded with the chance of a lifetime, not just in the ring but in the @aewontnt office as well. Can’t think of anybody more deserving of this shot and even tho he is one of my closest friends, be warned...he’s gonna TEAR OFF SOME FACES in #AEW!” Chris Jericho posted on Instagram.

The two men seem to share a special bond and it’s good to watch Jericho’s friend sign his first national US contract for AEW. The two competed against each other in a tag team match at Jericho's 30-year anniversary show in All Elite Wrestling.
