"Jericho is just terrible," "AEW is so dead" - Fans left stunned over major claim about Chris Jericho
A major accusation has been levied on Chris Jericho. This claim regarding the veteran has left fans stunned.
Jericho is one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time. He has managed to keep himself relevant in the business for decades due to his ability to reinvent his characters and gimmicks. Just when it looks like his career may be coming to an end, the 53-year-old is able to pull a new gimmick out of his hat.
Recently, Jericho took on the Learning Tree gimmick and has already gotten over with the fans. However, he has found himself in some controversy lately. This week on AEW Dynamite, he faced off against Samoa Joe in a Stampede Street Fight.
During the match, Jericho introduced a bag of horseshoes. He went to drop Joe on them but got dropped instead. An X (formerly Twitter) user has now taken to social media to claim that the horseshoes used in the match were made of plastic.

Chris Jericho comments on John Cena's retirement
At WWE Money in the Bank, last week, John Cena made his shocking return to WWE to announce that he will be retiring from the company in 2025. The news came as a shock to wrestling fans and many people have commented on the matter, since the announcement.
During a recent interview on McGuire on Wrestling, Chris Jericho spoke about John Cena's retirement by saying that the Cenation leader loves the wrestling business and that he must've given this decision some thought before making such a huge announcement.
"My career is already longer than John Cena’s. No, I mean it’s great. John’s always had a great love for wrestling, and he’s got a great connection with the fans, so I think it’s a cool way to go about it. People know this is it, and John’s not the type of guy to say anything lightly, so I’m sure he’s been focused on this, and working with the company to make sure it’s right. I’m sure it’s gonna be a really great year-and-a-half for Cena fans and himself," he said. [H/T: POST Wrestling]
