“I don’t choose anything. I might have a suggestion, but most of the time it’s Tony coming up with who he wants me to work with. I know for example with Mark Briscoe, both of us wanted to work with each other and knew we could have some great matches. I loved working with Mark, and what a great kind of mini-feud, or I guess it was a feud," he said.
Jericho further stated that he still works for his boss and has never said "no" to Tony Khan for anything:
"So yeah, I still work for my boss, and I have never once, as far as I can remember in the six years I’ve been in AEW, ever said no to something. I might not like something, but I got to try and do my best to make it work or maybe come up with something that, maybe, is a better idea as long as the boss likes it. If the boss wants to do he wants to do then that’s my job. So that’s what we do.” [H/T: CVV]
