Chris Jericho is one of the few performers who can say he’s worked stadium shows for multiple wrestling companies.
All Elite Wrestling‘s Chris Jericho recently sat down with Scott Fishman of TV Insider. When asked about his upcoming match with HOOK and to compare the atmospheres of All In and WrestleMania, Jericho said working in a stadium is a whole different animal.
“I think working in a stadium is a whole different animal,” Chris Jericho said. “It’s this breathing entity. It’s exciting. We’re doing a second stadium show in a calendar year that will draw 50 to 60,000 people That’s a big deal to do with a company five years old. I’m proud of that fact. I love wrestling in the UK. When you talk about someone having a breakout moment, a lot of times it’s one specific moment and another time it’s a coming-of-age process.
“I think HOOK has done that in the last six months. I’m proud that we were able to make this story go to Wembley. It was the same with Kevin Owens and what we wanted to do at WrestleMania…I just think the story was well done. Here we are. We did it. It’s a hot angle and fun and still have another piece of the puzzle with me versus Tommy Billington on Dynamite. HOOK versus Big Bill.

“Then we’re in Wembley. It will unfold into something very exciting. This is the big finale. You’ll have to see where it goes. That’s what wrestling is all about. Telling great stories and leaving people wondering what will happen next. I’m proud of what HOOK has been able to do, and the story as a whole, and proud of what we are going to put together this Sunday.”
