I think he's had three of the greatest character runs in the history of the business. But my God, I think he truly believes he's the GOAT. It dawned on me a while ago that his problems with the top guys holding him back in WCW weren’t so much that he was being held back from having a chance to prove himself, but that he should have been one of those top guys.

Yeah, seems like he still has a chip on his shoulder even though he's proved himself over and over. Part of me suspects he signed with AEW because it's his chance to be The Top Guy in a promotion, which he's never been no matter what he says. The ironic part is that if Kenny also signs then Chris is immediately #2 again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're trying to grow an audience and grab those fans who don't currently watch or who ONLY watch WWE (and they are out there), then I'd say Jericho is a much bigger name than Omega. Now if they sign Goldberg, then yeah, Jericho is #2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Web Conn Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Anyone listen to the Store Horsemen podcast its four stand up comedians out of the Comedy Store in LA. Tony Hinchcliffe is the name i guess. It's cool, they scratch their heads at the same WWE booking decisions that the rest of us do. They record it backstage at the Comedy Store when they are all there doing sets at night so there's an air of unpredictability. Joe Rogan just walked onto the podcast once and took UFC questions for 20 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d think between the music, dancing with the stars and that game show, he might have decent name recognition outside the bubble, even if it’s “that wrestler from dancing or that wrestler with a metal band.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Jericho is definitely a bigger mainstream star in America, although I doubt his Q rating is all that high. Amongst wrestling fans, I'm honestly not sure. But Kenny is more likely to be the top guy because he'll be there closer to full time and is a decade plus younger.

Phil4126 Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 I don't think(and please correct me if I'm wrong)that its being said that Kenny Omega is a bigger star then Chris Jericho, because he isn't. I believe that in Jericho's mind, he is going to AEW to be The Top Guy in The Company. Assuming Kenny signs(which we all know he is going to), it's a safe bet given the buzz surrounding him and the less mileage he has then Jericho, he will be the main guy AEW is built around. Jericho becomes a top guy, not The Guy. Now, you absolutely need a guy like Jericho, because as is pointed out, there are the fans out there who only watch WWE. And its a safe bet given Jericho's tremendous resurgence(seriously, he hasn't been this good this consistently in a long time)hearing that he chose to go to AEW instead of going back to WWE will draw eyeballs and help grow an audience. He even said himself that if he goes back to WWE, it doesn't matter. No matter what he does, they will always be WWE. If he goes to AEW and they succeed, he can help take credit for getting this thing off the ground. It just seems like in his mind, this is the modern day equivalent of Hogan going to WCW, when he's really the new Terry Funk going to ECW, and there's nothing wrong with that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As we know from Talk is Jericho, Chris is a proponent of DDP Yoga. DDP is really missing the boat if his next infomercial doesn't tout this as a feature. "BRO! Arthur was a 450-pound shut-in who needed two canes to walk, bro! Now he's 185 pounds, can do parkour and sucks his own dick, bro!" 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got a great head on his shoulders and I hope they strap the rocket on his back. Not really mind-blowing. I've known lots of Indians and Pakistanis who have been friends/dated. Normal, decent people look past that sort of stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of fun threads to revisit, I remember going back through Sebbeh65’s humorous WON quotes of WCW stupidity multiple times when I needed a giggle. Edit to stay on topic: I recently subscribed to the Torch and Wade Keller is honestly the only one of the big wrestling journalist podcasters that I can stomach multiple times per week.
