WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle recently took part in a Q&A session with Pro Wrestling Junkies on Facebook, and had tons of praise for AEW star Chris Jericho. Angle went as far as saying that he's jealous of what Jericho is being able to do at his age. Angle acknowledged the fact that Jericho has been wrestling for around three decades now, and is still doing well in the squared circle. He finished off by making a bold statement, and said that Jericho might go down in pro wrestling history as one of the Top 5 wrestlers of all time.

Chris Jericho, at 49, is still one of the most popular wrestlers today
Chris Jericho is still killing it in the ring as well as in his promos, around three decades after he made his pro wrestling debut. He was an incredibly popular Cruiserweight star in WCW during the late 90s, and carried his momentum over to WWE in late 1999. In WWE, Chris Jericho became one of the most successful World Champions of all time, and elevated the Intercontinental title like many few have been able to do.
Chris Jericho signed with AEW in early 2019, and was crowned the promotion's first-ever World Champion months later. His World title reign gave AEW some much-needed exposure in mainstream media.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
