#5 AEW star wishes Vince McMahon would have prolonged his feud with the Undertaker
AEW star and leader of the Inner Circle Chris Jericho recently revealed that he wished he had a long singles feud with the Undertaker back in the day.
During his long and illustrious WWE career, Chris Jericho had several memorable feuds. But he never truly got an opportunity to have a long feud with the Undertaker.
In an interview with Gresh and Keefe, AEW star Chris Jericho talked about various topics, most notably the feuds he wished he had while working in WWE. The Demo god mentioned the likes of Bret Hart, Owen Hart, and The Undertaker:
“I think the Hart brothers for sure. I’m talking about Bret Hart or Owen Hart,” Jericho said. “Both of those guys I never got to wrestle. Owen passed away before I got into WWE, and I wasn’t at the level to wrestle Bret before he got injured, before his career was done. But I think with our backgrounds and kind of growing up in the same area, and training the same way, those would have been a couple classic feuds. The other one is The Undertaker. I worked him a few times and we always had great matches, but we just never really had a long feud.” (H/T-WrestlingInc)
There's no denying that if Vince McMahon had pushed the Undertaker and Chris Jericho to have a long program, it would have still been fresh in people's memory. One wouldn't say the same about the Hart brothers. It is understandably clear that the unfortunate reasons prevented the company from having a feud between Chris Jericho and the Hart brothers.
