#1 Doing Right: Chris Jericho

Call him Lionheart, Y2J, or Le Champion, just don't count him out yet.

Many fans had mixed feelings about the announcement of Chris Jericho signing with All Elite Wrestling.

On the one hand, they were excited about the prospect of the long tenured, multi faceted performer strutting his stuff in an all new promotion. On the other hand, there were fears that Jericho could be the herald for a whole slew of aging talent, turning AEW into a mockery of what brought WCW down back in the late 1990s/early 2000s.

A top AEW star just called one of his colleagues 'spoiled' and 'narcissistic' HERE.

But as it turns out, Jericho has been fantastic in AEW. From his formation of the first great heel group of the new era, the Inner Circle, to his hilarious yet compelling interview segments, to his penchant for referring to himself as 'Le Champion' Jericho was everything you could ever ask for in a top heel champion.

Best of all, long time wrestling fans are finally getting to see a full fledged version of Jericho's somewhat comedic Lionheart character from his days as Cruiserweight champion in WCW.

The Painmaker is arguably having the best run of his entire career right now in AEW, and for that the promotion is to be commended. Jericho may have lost the AEW World Championship to Jon Moxley at Revolution but it was his title reign that helped establish All Elite Wrestling.
