The Ocho Chris Jericho reflects on his Ring of Honor World Title reign ahead of Final Battle.
All Elite Wrestling‘s Chris Jericho recently sat down with Joey Hayden of The Dallas Morning News. When asked about his Ring of Honor World Title reign, Jericho believes it was a good time for the company when he had the championship.
“I think it was [a] pretty cool time for Ring of Honor,” Chris Jericho said. “It was a good idea for Tony to have me as the champion because I think he put a lot of eyeballs on the company and kind of really put that title under the spotlight with defending it as much as I did.
“I remember I’d been running ragged because I had done so much with a Fozzy tour, and I was filming a movie in Edmonton; I had to fly on a private plane straight from Edmonton to Dallas to do this match. So I was really kind of tired. But we did the match, and Claudio is obviously amazing.
“That’s when we did the finish where I tapped out to the giant swing, which I thought was so creative. I don’t know if anyone has done it since, but I just thought it was the best way to lose the title. I think the whole Chris Jericho as Ring of Honor champion experiment was a huge success, culminating in this great match at Final Battle.”
