Chris Jericho comments on working for DDT Pro Wrestling.
Chris Jericho made his return to Japan, and his debut for DDT Pro Wrestling, at DDT Ultimate Party on November 12, taking on Konosuke Takeshita. It was Jericho's first match in Japan since 202 when he faced Hiroshi Tanahashi at NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 14.
Speaking on his Talk is Jericho podcast, Jericho said he was asked to work for DDT earlier in 2023, but he already had vacation plans.
"I was asked if I wanted to work for DDT and Takeshita earlier in the year. We were in San Francisco at the Cow Palace, so it was probably February, they wanted me to come in July, but my family and I already had plans to go to Italy at that time. They said, ‘What about the Ultimate Party for November 2?’ At the time, it was nine months away. Now that it’s all said and done, I can say that I really enjoyed working for DDT. Any time you go to a new company, you never know what it’s going to be like," he said.
AEW was at the Cow Palace on March 1. Takeshita aligned with Don Callis at AEW Double or Nothing.
Elsewhere during the podcast, Jericho discussed his match with Takeshita and the decision to have Takeshita tap out. You can find his full comments by clicking here.
