Chris Jericho: I Have No Reason To Retire Yet, I Still Love What I Do
Chris Jericho still loves what he does.
Despite the fact that he is now 30+ years into his wrestling career, Chris Jericho is still wrestling on a consistent basis. In 2024 alone, Jericho has already shared the ring with the likes of Konosuke Takeshita, HOOK, Kyle Fletcher, Matt Sydal, and CMLL’s Titan.
In recent months, the world of wrestling has started speculating on Jericho’s future in the industry, as many fans expect that he will retire soon. According to the ‘Lionheart’ himself, that is not the case.
“AEW really did save my perspective of wrestling and really kind of, like I said, reinvigorated my career to where I have no interest or reason to retire as of yet because I still enjoy it, I still love what I do, and I still feel that I can still do it a high level.” Jericho said while speaking at a Q&A during his Rock N Wrestling Rager at Sea cruise in January. “I can still have the best match of the night on any given night, not every night, but any given night I can. To me, that means a lot and you guys all seem to love it and appreciate what we do. My retirement match will be whatever storyline we have when that moment comes, it could be tomorrow, it could be ten years. I mean, Sting is freaking 65 and he’s retiring in a couple months. I could still have some time left.”
Jericho recently stated that he doesn’t see why he would leave AEW at this point in his career. Fans can learn more about that by clicking here.
