Chris Jericho supposedly saw AEW Dynasty reaction coming
Added 2024-05-19 17:00:07 +0000 UTCChris Jericho was heavily booed and criticized at AEW Dynasty, but he may have anticipated it.
Jericho won the FTW Title from Hook at AEW Dynasty, with “please retire” and “go home Jericho, go home” chants on him all throughout the way. Jericho was booed heavily upon winning the title. While that might have been an indication of the crowd not wanting to see Jericho over him having heat, he anticipated it.
Several AEW talent and people close to Chris Jericho claimed to Fightful since AEW Dynasty that the reaction from the crowd played out almost exactly as Jericho had laid it out to them in the week prior.
A topic of conversation recently was several wrestlers wondering who smartened Chris Jericho up to the “Jericho Vortex” phrase, that is an online joke of people getting sucked into feuding or working with Jericho. We’d asked if anyone had let Jericho know that The Learning Tree was a stable in TNA, or if Rarified Air had been used for years by Richard Holliday, but didn’t get an answer.
One thing that wasn't expected by many, however, was Jericho's alterations to the FTW Title. We're told it was a surprise to many, including Taz. The FTW title is the original belt that was in ECW.

Actually, I think it ultimately started with Oli Davis and WrestleTalk making jokes about “The Baron Corbin Mid-Card Vortex” and it’s just evolved into the “Jericho Vortex” 😅

2024-05-20 15:41:06 +0000 UTCBeing self aware that you suck & are washed up doesn’t change what your doing or make it any good. Jericho needs to go away he has the same go away heat that Baron Corbin had back in 2019 as someone who was overexposed when there are far better wrestlers on the roster who deserve the tv time

2024-05-20 09:04:04 +0000 UTCThen why didn’t Jericho or Tony Khan directly refute the “hack’s” claim?

2024-05-20 01:47:55 +0000 UTClol he foresaw that after months of getting go away heat he would once again get go away heat? Wasn’t that the plan?

2024-05-19 22:47:24 +0000 UTCNDA based off a hack's claims, get a life.

2024-05-19 21:50:50 +0000 UTCSo because he knew how it would go, they let him do this shit? I mean that literally. It’s shit. #gohomejericho

2024-05-19 20:03:38 +0000 UTCThank you. He needs to go away for a while, because anyone he works with doesn’t come out for the better and the feuds are too long and taking a spot from someone who’s better

2024-05-19 18:53:57 +0000 UTCThe way he was leaning into it, no doubt he saw it comming

2024-05-19 17:32:17 +0000 UTCI think it's a sticker so should be easily removable without leaving a trace

2024-05-19 17:25:25 +0000 UTCHe altered the FTW belt w/o even giving Taz a heads up? Totally not cool, to say the least.
Kim Cee
2024-05-19 17:22:13 +0000 UTCOkay, let's say he's not lying and he did anticipate it. That still doesn't make it a good decision.
