AEW star Chris Jericho recently took to an episode of his Talk Is Jericho podcast, where he discussed a number of topics including the importance of introducing new talent to the fans, something he admits the company doesn’t always do.
Jericho said, “I thought it was very important to introduce myself in case somebody didn’t know me. That’s something we don’t do a lot of in AEW at times. When we just bring somebody in. ‘Oh my gosh, it’s Zack Sabre Jr. Ah!’ ‘Who?’ If you go back and watch my very first promo on October 2, 2019, which was the very first Dynamite, I said, ‘My name is Chris Jericho.’ Just in case there is somebody who might not know me.”
“In 1999, which was 20 years earlier, just in case people didn’t know me, of course a lot of people did know me because there is tribalism, ‘We watch WCW. We watch WWE.’ I let people know who I was and what I was there to do.”
