Tony Schiavone compliments Chris Jericho and highlights the importance of his recent losses on AEW TV.
Jericho shockingly lost to AEW newcomer Action Andretti on the December 14 episode of AEW Dynamite. A few weeks later, he also suffered a surprising defeat when Ricky Starks pinned him on the January 4 episode of Dynamite. In doing so, he helped quickly establish Andretti as a star in AEW and cement Stark’s status as a major player.
Speaking on his What Happened When podcast, Schiavone spoke highly of the former AEW World Champion. He brought up the way Jericho “did the job” for Andretti and Starks and noted that the veteran taught the young stars an important lesson in doing so.
“What a great leader he is,” Schiavone said. “You know how I know he’s a great leader? He did the job to Action Andretti [and] did the job to Ricky Starks. ‘I’ll show you how you can lose and still keep your heat.’
