Ahead of AEW's return to Winnipeg, TSN.ca caught up with Chris Jericho to talk about working heel in your hometown, his new gimmick and more. You can catch three hours of AEW action LIVE from Winnipeg with Dynamite followed by Rampage beginning at 8pm et/5pm pt on TSN2, streaming on the TSN App and on TSN.ca.
May 01, 2024 at 10:10 AM ETWith All Elite Wrestling’s weekly flagship showset for the Canada Life Centre on Wednesday night, the eight-time world champion is back in Winnipeg and it’s a trip Jericho is savouring.
The rarity of the occasion is not lost on the 53-year-old Jericho, who wrestled in a three-way trios match in AEW’s first-ever show in the city last March, but neither is the timing. Having recently turned heel, Jericho is unlikely to receive the heavy booing from the crowd he has elsewhere of late. “It’s one of those things where you can go ‘F--- this, I’m a heel. I’m gonna insult the crowd,’ but doing that in your hometown, you’re just gonna end up splitting your reaction,” Jericho explains. “Half the people are still gonna cheer you anyway, and the other half will kinda boo you because you’re supposed to. But they wanna cheer you, so don’t fight it. Don’t go against the tide and be proud.
“That was kinda the whole idea with Hook and the Jericho-Hook story, but it changed. Once again, you gotta read the room and let the story lead you. You don’t try to lead the story. The story can get a little awkward, but if the story leads you and you’re smart enough to twist and turn with it, it’s usually pretty successful.”
