AEW Champion Chris Jericho compares himself to Ozzy Osbourne

AEW Champion Chris Jericho has claimed that he always reinvents himself to suit the current scope of time, comparing himself to the legendary musician Ozzy Osbourne in the process. Chris Jericho has been one of the biggest names in the industry ever since he came to the limelight in the 90s.

Jericho uses Ozzy Osbourne as an example

He has constantly evolved and kept himself relevant when most of his peers of the same age group have fallen victim to the claws of time. In an interview with Wrestlezone and 101WKQX host Kevin Kellam, he revealed the philosophy that helps him stay up-to-date with time, citing the example of legendary rockstar Ozzy Osbourne.

“You talk about the new Ozzy [Osbourne] song ‘Under The Graveyard’—it’s number 4 this week. Ozzy with a top 5 song at 70 years old? But the reason is the song is still Ozzy, it’s got a different guitar player, it sounds more contemporary, it just sounds more now. That’s kind of what I’ve always done with Chris Jericho.

“If something starts feeling a little bit nostalgic, I drop it,” Jericho said, “and I have no problems dropping it. It’s great to go back and look at it and remember it, but The List was 2016. ‘A Little Bit Of The Bubbly’ and ‘Le Champion’ is 2019, that’s where I live now.”

One of the greatest of all time

Chris Jericho has been successful in every major promotion that he has set foot on. He is currently the first and only AEW Champion, and is still, at the age of 49, one of the biggest names in pro-wrestling.

With Jericho being one of the top names in the business for around two decades now, there is no doubt that he is one of the greatest pro-wrestlers of all time.
