Would Chris Jericho take a place in the WWE Hall of Fame?
Across his 34-year career, Chris Jericho spent much time in WWE, beginning with a memorable debut in the summer of 1999. Jericho went on to win a number of titles in WWE, and at one point, became the Undisputed WWE Champion. Given his success in the company, the Toronto Sun recently asked Jericho if he’d consider accepting a potential WWE Hall of Fame induction.
“I’m not one of those guys who cares about the Hall of Fame because I don’t think it’s really real anyways, so in some ways it’s like yeah, whatever. In other ways, I want to pull a Sex Pistols and just refuse to show up,” Jericho said in response. “Send a letter saying do not mention my name like Axl Rose did. What a great wrestling thing to do.
“It doesn’t matter to me, it really doesn’t,” he continued. “It’s great that guys go in there and I’m glad they get a chance to, but I’m already in the Hall of Fame. It’s more for the fans. At this point in time, I could get put in the Hall of Fame and maybe get booed out of the building, so who knows. We’ll what happens, but for right here, right now, I’m enjoying what I’m still doing. I definitely wouldn’t go in the Hall of Fame if I’m still actively performing in the ring, so we’ll see.”
Currently, Jericho works for All Elite Wrestling, where he serves as the leader of The Learning Tree. He also presently holds the Ring of Honor World Championship, with his latest title defense coming against Matt Cardona last month.
