5 Reasons why AEW is Chris Jericho

#4. Masterclass Unscripted Promos

Need I say more

Go back to last week's edition of Dynamite and wrestling fans can see why Chris Jericho is the heart and soul of AEW. A good pro wrestler is one who can think on his or her feet and Jericho did just that. Look at how he handled the crowd when they started chanting "We The People" at the sight of Jake Hager.

Only Jericho could have silenced that crowd and so expertly changed the subject. With so many young and fairly inexperienced wrestlers in AEW, that promo was a masterclass on how to stay on target while going off-script. AEW has confirmed that they will not script promos for wrestlers, with the exception of bullet points, if required.

Jericho is old school and that's probably a big reason why he decided to sign with AEW in the first place. He has an uncanny ability to say what he wants and it's the template that other AEW Wrestlers should follow. His promo at Fight for the Fallen was his first totally unscripted promo in 20 years. It's just one reason why he's in the main event.

While still in his early days with AEW, Jericho has already left an imprint that will set the tone for the company in the years to come.
