Chris Jericho recently took to his “Talk Is Jericho” podcast to discuss the importance of introducing new talent to fans, which is something he acknowledged AEW doesn’t always do. He said,
“I thought it was very important to introduce myself in case somebody didn’t know me. That’s something we don’t do a lot of in AEW at times. When we just bring somebody in. ‘Oh my gosh, it’s Zack Sabre Jr. Ah!’ ‘Who?’ If you go back and watch my very first promo on October 2, 2019, which was the very first Dynamite, I said, ‘My name is Chris Jericho.’ Just in case there is somebody who might not know me.”
He continued, “In 1999, which was 20 years earlier, just in case people didn’t know me, of course a lot of people did know me because there is tribalism, ‘We watch WCW. We watch WWE.’ I let people know who I was and what I was there to do.”
