"All these guys made a lot of money in this business" - Popular AEW star details Chris Jericho's influence on upcoming talent in the industry
Dark Order's member Pres10 Vance recently praised Chris Jericho. He spoke about The Wizard's influence backstage in AEW and his experience with the veteran.
Chris Jericho has been a part of the Jacksonville-based Promotion ever since its early days in 2019. His involvement in the company provided some much-needed legitimacy for AEW to kick off, becoming the biggest competitor to WWE today.
While Y2J is certainly a legend of the business, he is apparently very helpful backstage as well. In a recent appearance on Busted Open Radio, Pres10 Vance praised Chris Jericho and spoke about his attitude towards younger talent behind the scenes.
"Guys like you [Mark Henry], Jericho, Big Show, Taz, all these guys made a lot of money in this business, why wouldn't you listen? Jericho is one I go to the most about stuff, just to pick his brain, storyline stuff. He is so beyond willing to help all the younger talent. He's someone who doesn't have to, he's a friggin' rockstar, but he's been great with me and helped me pretty significantly the past eight months." [H/T Fightful]
