So, I just wanted to go back to Chris Jericho for a bit:
We know he talks to Dave Meltzer. It’s possible he flat-out lied to Dave for…reasons, but it’s more likely that Dave has the accurate details on Jericho’s contract, and that he was signed for two more years.
It’s pretty batty that TK has backed up a truck to Jericho’s house when he was locked in until 2024 anyway. The signing of Moxley to a 5 yr deal goes along with this, but at least his deal was expiring (or had already expired). TK is desperate to have guys locked for a long-ass time, probably for any sort of negotiating leverage he can get with networks. It was important to have Jericho locked in to a deal beyond 2023, because that’s when the Dynamite TV deal is up, right?
We’re seeing who TK sees as actually important, and it tells us who has not made a commitment. And it implies a measure of hesitance from Warner Bros Discovery to sign new deals with AEW — otherwise, why would Jericho signing now be so important?
And he’s taken TK for all he’s worth. He’s getting way overpaid to do horrible shit. Jericho is almost as big a problem as The Elite. They’re Hogan and Nash to Tony’s Bischoff. Adam Page might as well be Diamond Adam Page. If Hogan and Nash were able to do springboards, I wonder if Meltzer would have looked past their politics?
This ROH thing is horrible. These acts are getting low-key buried by Jericho. There are so many problems with this story.
* Why is Tony Khan letting Jericho beat up whoever he wants?
* Where is everyone who likes ROH in the company to stand up for ROH?
* What happens to the ROH guys once they get beaten by a 50 yr old Jericho?
You want to see a guy hurting the company, look at him.
