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
