Chris Jericho isn't going anywhere.
At AEW Dynasty, Jericho was greeted with "Please retire" chants from the crowd during his match with HOOK. Jericho has been met with the chant throughout the year, and has turned it around by saying that fans want him to retire so he can take his place in the Hall of Fame.
Speaking to Daily Star, Jericho was asked about his potential retirement.
"Sting at 64 retired and everybody is different. To me, when the 'please retire' chants were going, I was laughing because I have zero intentions of that. I've got a six pack, I can do a moonsault, and I know exactly what I'm doing in the ring. I know how to write storylines. I like the company I work for. I like my boss. I like the guys and girls in the company. Why would I want to retire? What's the point because someone told me to? Fuck off. I remember the (Rolling) Stones in '89, when they did the Steel Wheels Tour, they were calling it the Steel Wheelchair Tour. 'The Stones are too old. The Stones should retire.' I just saw The Stones two months ago and they were amazing. They didn't care. You retire when you know it's time and you know it's right. It's not the right time right now. Until that moment where I feel, 'This needs to stop,' I have no intentions (of retiring). There is no time limit. It could be this week. It could be five years from now. I don't know. I just know that as of this moment, I'm having a great time. I love going to work. I love contributing. There is no reason to stop doing that," he stated.
Jericho is the reigning FTW Champion. He is set to defend his title against HOOK at AEW All In.
