Chris Jericho is arguably one of the greatest wrestlers. The multi-time world champion has been praised over the years for being able to reinvent himself. The veteran is a key member of the AEW roster and is now leading the ROH brand. However, even Y2J isn't immune to being trolled by fans on social media.

The Learning Tree is the current ROH World Champion. The 54-year-old has been winning championships since beginning his career at the age of 19. Jericho has had successful runs with WWE, WCW, ECW, NJPW, and others. He's also found success in other areas, mainly heavy metal. The Canadian superstar is the lead singer for Fozzy, a band that has released eight studio albums since its formation in 1999.

Jericho recently commented on legendary Iron Maiden drummer Nicko McBrain's recent announcement that he would be retiring from playing live. Blabbermouth covered Jericho's remarks. The AEW star said that McBrain had earned the right to step down from touring. This led to Jericho's roasting in the post's comments section on Facebook.

The majority of the reactions aimed at Jericho were negative. Many readers cracked light-hearted jokes, with the strong feeling that the former WWE Champion thought too highly of himself.

There were others who threw in some pro wrestling humor, while some may have taken things a bit far with personal shots at the inaugural AEW World Champion. Several people also called for Jericho's retirement from both arenas.

Fozzy released its last studio album in 2022, titled Boombox. Jericho uses Fozzy's Judas single as his entrance theme in AEW.
