Chris Jericho is one of the few wrestlers active today who has wrestled in WCW, WWE, and NJPW. Today, Jericho is the inaugural AEW Champion and one of the biggest stars in the promotion.
The Influencer has garnered respect around the globe for his work and achievements in wrestling. Jericho's career will undoubtedly go down as one of the greatest. During an interview with FITE In Focus, Chris Jericho opened up about his career and plans for himself in wrestling.
“I just know this, probably about 2016, I thought, ‘Maybe it’s time to start winding down.’ It wasn’t as fun. Then I went to Japan, Jericho vs. Omega, ‘Holy shit, this is amazing. Wrestling is fun again.’ That re-ignited my passion and fire for wrestling."Over the last year and a half, you read the room, what are people saying, what am I thinking? I realized you cannot teach experience and you cannot teach fan manipulation. Nobody does that better than me." said Chris.

"I’m not going anywhere. There is no reason to. I’m still one of the best in the business at what I do; telling stories and crowd manipulation. I can still have a great match any night of the week. I can always have the best story, the best character, the best ‘puppet mastering’ of the audience than anybody in our company and maybe the business. That, to me, tells me I’m not anywhere close to being done yet." Jericho said. (H/T: Fightful)

"when Kingston said don't give the Mimosa match, Chris, don't give me the foolish Chris Jericho, give the Jericho that did this and did that. He basically said give me the Jericho we all came to respect and not. That should have been the last line," (3:12 - 4:10) (H/T: Sportskeeda)
