It does sound like the AEW crowd has soured a lot on Jericho too. "Please retire!" chants going through his match.
He should probably announce a retirement tour like Sting did, but I don't think he'll be going away any time soon.

He was important to have around at first as a major name but if he disappeared tomorrow they wouldn't miss him for a second, he seems to exist solely to suck the life out of younger wrestlers these days.
Isn't he like 18 months into a 10 year contract?Originally Posted by Gray Fox
As wullie said, really good for them for a year or so but he's done now.
Into 2025 apparently. I also saw he's supposedly a mentor to Hook but guess who got the pin...
I do think one of the things Tony does well is not releasing guys unless they cause him problems, but you also don't have to have him on TV.
The only man in wrestling with more ego than HHH is Jericho. He's terrible these days. Trying to flip him heel so that 'I swear they're SUPPOSED to be booing me' stops his feelings getting hurt.
Fuck off to TNA with ol' Broken Matt.
Von Wagner has been released by WWE.
I get it but I'm kinda bummed, I think he had a lot of potential and I liked his teaming up with Robert Stone. Liked his matches with Bron too.
Did you ever see the absolutely amazing royal rumble those Indian lads did?
I didn't see any of his Stone stuff but what I saw before that I thought he looked shite. Had he improved much?
His dad was one of the Beverly Brothers so I guess there isn't much natural ability there.
So does anybody have time for Jericho these days? On top of what you guys have said in here Going in Raw were really getting stuck into him following the weekend.
I admittedly don't watch the most AEW of anyone, but from what I gather it's a lot to do with him not having the decency to realise he's getting to his mid 50's and he shouldn't be a big part of the show.
He should really be off into the sunset but coming back for a big one off match or mini-run. Not going over on your young up and coming guys who are getting popular.
I think the feeling is universal now. I thought he'd jumped the shark with his ROH World Title run a couple of years ago. Then he pivoted to "getting the next generation over" with Action Andretti, Ricky Starks and Hobbs, but he always protected himself in defeat and as we know, those guys got nothing from it because of that. Then he had that horror show with Adam Cole which I think was the turning point for the diehard fans and it's been a year long journey since towards souring more and more fans. The Hook match backlash is just a culmination of everything Jericho has booked himself in since Tony give him that ridiculous 10 year contract.
He still wasn't great but he was getting into a groove. I think turning him face was a good idea.
Still had trouble getting over with the fans though as there were so many better than him. That ultimately cost him.
There was also some kind of #metoo thing with Jericho fairly recently as well although I don't know if it was bollocks made up by people who want him gone
He's just a large blob that gloms onto anything with some heat so he can stay on TV and subsumes them until they have nothing left and then moves on for his next victim.
Beckywinslol
Tells me that Rhea might be out for a long time then, because putting the belt on Liv now until Summerslam seemed fair enough.
That's crap.
I'll tell you what was not crap, the one camera shot of the backstage sequence up until her entrance.
I'd still have given the title to Liv.
Becky just isn't it right now.
She’s far too weak to be doing the rock bottom.
Nia Jax is also an embarrassment. She always drops folk that are ‘bigger’. No strength at all under that flab
Also I wasn’t sure Gable had it in him for this Perc Angle run but I’m all for it. Give him the creed brothers
Cameron Grimes released.
Sad as I really liked him on NXT but he was doing fuck all on the main roster.
The Young Bucks ladder match with FTR was alright, @Ben.
I'm a twit
No thank you, Barrington. Thanks for the consideration though.
I can't think of a more anti-Ben match.
Meanwhile Boring Danielson’s headlocks where masterfully countered by Will “actual the best professional wrestler on the planet” Ospreay who let Bryan wait outside the ring while he got the crowd excited, multiple times.
If your opponents not gonna get fans cheering, I guess you’ve gotta take matters into your own hands.
I'm a twit
Unlike Baz, I like Danielson a lot. I also think Ospreay is one of the most naturally gifted wrestlers around.
But I just don't get the hype of this match at all. People out there saying the best match ever in America and other such nonsense. It was good and the crowd was hot, but come on.
Dragunov to the main roster? Feud with Gunther as they are the final 2 in KOTR?
Yes pls
I'd like them to hold off on Dragunov vs. Gunther until they've built the former up enough for him to get the first win on the main roster. I like the idea of keeping Dragunov as Gunther's kryptonite for a while at least.
If it's the KOTR finals then he's surely won a match or two already?
And to be honest, I doubt Dragunov gets immediately catapulted to the top of the card. He's an incredible wrestler but he's missing a lot of the usual things WWE would want from a top guy, even in Triple H world. A show stealer with Gunther on PPV might be a good a way as any of introducing him to the wider audience, even in defeat.
Have they done Gunther and Pete Dunne yet? I'd be happy to see that again
Either him or Bate (I think I like Bate/Gunther even more than the Dunne match) but dunno if either of them will ever get a proper match against him.
Just watched RAW, it was laughable when she was trying to pick up Piper.
Tony's only gone and put himself in a fucking angle. Jesus christ.
It's so shit.
Also, I think that's the first time I've seen their finisher. It's fucking horrendous.
That reaction to the gut punch
In other news:
Gonna BANG.
Hopefully it's outdoot because those trousers will take him off like sails
Takeshita better take the belt off that stupid bald fuck.
The less said about Tony's angle, the better.
Daily's Place needs to fuck off as well. The audio is horrendous.
That flippy piledriver thing looks atrocious, do they always do it like that?
Now do people in here see why I hate the Bucks and it's not just some old man yelling at clouds stuff because I like elongated headlocks.
TBF that's the very safest, safest, safest version of it but the good ones don't look that much better.
I can imagine it would look better if they get the timing perfect but even then it's just a shit piledriver but now with an added flip.
It would have been the biggest babyface turn ever in my book if they'd done him over Chuck Austin style.
I just wanna see if he Kayfabes it in the NFL draft tonight.
Tony's AEW champ run will be great.
