Chris Jericho makes big statement about potential retirement

AEW star Chris Jericho recently opened up about his potential retirement from wrestling following a decades-long and fruitful career. The current FTW Champion is still an active part of All Elite Wrestling's weekly programming, where he's the leader of The Learning Tree. While some of his recent work hasn't pleased the majority of viewers, there's still no denying that Jericho elevates every show he's a part of with his mere presence.

In his recent appearance on the McGuire Show, Chris Jericho addressed his impending retirement from in-ring competition. The 53-year-old veteran stated that the thought of hanging up his boots hasn't crossed his mind yet and that he believes he could still steal the show on any given night with his performance.

"I'll know when it’s time, you know? I’m really enjoying what I’m doing and I’m still contributing at a high level, I can still have the best match on the show on any given night — not every night but any given night. And I just really love what we’re doing with AEW right now. So there’s really no rush on that. And when I know, I’ll know," said Chris Jericho. [H/T: Wrestling Purists]

Chris Jericho praises AEW's scheduling over WWE

A few days ago, Chris Jericho shared his unfiltered views on how WWE's scheduling, when he was a part of the company, was grueling and took a toll on the body. Jericho added that, on the other hand, AEW required talents to work only two days a week at most and that the All Elite management takes better overall care of its performers.

"When I was working in WWE, sometimes we worked Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and maybe even a Tuesday once in a while. That schedule was insane, absolutely crazy. Different city, different city, driving, renting your own cars, all that sort of stuff. When AEW started, that was one of the things: we only work on Wednesdays. Now we work Wednesdays and Saturdays, but still, it’s much better. Our boss, the Khan family, they also own the Jacksonville Jaguars and Fulham Football Club in England, so they treat us much more like an athletic team. We get much better care with hotels, cars, all that stuff is taken care of, which wasn’t the case in WWE."

Since AEW doesn't have a Live Event schedule yet, it's easier on the bodies of the athletes as they don't have to step inside the ring more than once or twice a week.
