On his latest “Talk Is Jericho” podcast, veteran wrestler Chris Jericho spoke to the Dudleys and Hardys about their recent match at TNA’s Bound For Glory.
Jericho had favorable comments to make about not only the match itself but how TNA pulled off the PPV comparing its presentation to how AEW presented their shows during a recent stint at the ECW Arena.
Interestingly, in a comment that is sure to put the rumor mill into overdrive, Jericho felt that the way TNA presented the PPV made it look like the “second biggest company in the world” – without specifying which promotion it was behind, no doubt an intentional choice of words.
“I don’t think I’ve watched an Impact, sorry, a TNA match in ages, if not this decade at all. I was so impressed. Well, first of all, you guys had a match. It wasn’t even the match. It was the beginning part before you guys even locked up. It was the end part after it happened. Like that, I’m getting little goosebumps. That’s pro wrestling in its ultimate form. That’s all that matters is that emotion and that reaction.”
“That was one thing. Two, that f*cking crowd looked huge. It looked huge. It was like a WWE-level crowd. The place was packed. I was watching this, and not saying anything out of school here, but comparing it to watching Dynamite when they were at the ECW Arena, which looked like a Tony Condello taping. Sorry, it did. TNA looked like the second biggest company in the world, you know, and that was amazing. And the presentation was amazing.”
Jericho’s comment come at a time when the 55-year old wrestler is under contract to AEW but sitting inactive for the last several months. His contract with AEW is set to expire at the end of the year with rumors that he’s looking to jump back to WWE for one last run there. However, AEW President Tony Khan has also been singing Jericho’s praises lately, stating that he would love to have him back with the company.
