WWE producer TJ Wilson appeared on the Developmentally Speaking podcast to discuss several topics, including top AEW star Chris Jericho asking him to help out in a match back before he was a producer and how that led to Jericho inventing him as a producer.
Wilson said, “I know he has the moniker of taking credit for inventing everything, Chris Jericho. However, in July 2009, I’d been on the main roster for five months, I knew Chris a little bit. I’d been to his house prior when I was in FCW and stuff. I’m five months onto the main roster. He’s asking me to produce a match of his, so he invented TJ the producer [laughs]. I didn’t produce it, but it was Jericho and [The Big Show] against Cryme Tyme. He said, ‘Man, you’ve really figured Cryme Tyme out. Can you please help us?’ I was like, how many years of experience did Chris Jericho and Big Show have in 2009? How much TV/pay-per-view did they have, where pay-per-view experience, Tyson Kidd in August 2009? Zero. It just was very funny.”
