However, hardcore Le Champion fans know that the star spent a lengthy amount of time in Japan in the early stages of his career. During his various stints in Japan, Jericho even wrestled Chris Benoit and Eddie Guerrero before both wrestlers made it big.
Another wrestler Chris Jericho worked with during his early days in Japan was The Warlord. The veteran wrestler recently spoke on The Hannibal TV, where he fondly reminisced about his time with Jericho while in Japan.
The Warlord then recalled how he tried to help Jericho get bigger by eating “really good” and training hard.
The Warlord still wrestles today, even after he was forced to retire on two separate occasions. The veteran has also noted that he would like to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, alongside The Barbarian as The Powers of Pain. The tag team was once featured extensively on WWE between 1988 and 1992.
Could Chris Jericho be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame?
in 2010, Chris Jericho was inducted into the Wrestling Observer Newsletter Hall of Fame. But there has been absolutely no word on when or if Jericho will be able to join his fellow alums in the WWE Hall of Fame.
Chris Jericho’s jump to AEW was surprising to say the least, but the star is reportedly still on good terms with WWE. The star was also featured on a Broken Skull Sessions episode alongside Stone Cold Steve Austin.
Between being allowed on Austin’s show as well as even once saying he misses working with Vince McMahon, the star could eventually end up in the Hall of Fame.
