"It's hard to say": AEW Star Chris Jericho reflects on the best match of his career

Chris Jericho, a prominent figure in professional wrestling since 1990, remains a notable force in the industry. He has had a career many wrestlers dream of, featuring notable runs in WCW, WWE, and AEW. Given the sheer number of career matches, Chris has had many that are among his favourites but which one does he consider to be the best of the lot?

In a recent interview on The Adam Carolla Show, Jericho reflected on his extensive career and shared his thoughts on what constitutes a "great match." He stated, “I’m still wrestling now in the business. I wrestled last week, as a matter of fact. I still enjoy working... it’s hard to say, ‘This was the best match ever’ when I can just say, ‘Maybe the best match is still to come.’ Who knows?” This sentiment underscores his commitment to wrestling and suggests that his journey is far from over.

Jericho's enthusiasm for wrestling is reflected in his approach to his career. As he prepares for what is reported to be the most significant contract year of his career, he expressed confidence in the wrestling industry's potential. He remarked, “To know that much money is at stake 25 years after the Attitude Era, it blows my mind. This is a great time for the business and fans to be in it.” Jericho's contract with AEW is set to run until 2025, although it may extend further if unforeseen circumstances arise, such as injuries.
