In one of Mia Yim's recent tweets, a fan decided to insult former WCW Cruiserweight Champion Disco Inferno by claiming that nobody ever paid a dime to watch Inferno wrestle and further called him a joke and embarrassment to Pro Wrestling.

AEW World Champion Chris Jericho was quick to respond, as he replied to the fan stating Disco Inferno was truly great at doing his job and the former always loved working with the WCW veteran.

Totally not true jerkoff. @TheRealDisco was great at what he did and I LOVED working with him. So shut your ass and eff off. https://t.co/x9T6nc5FCD
