Jake Hager is a big fan of Chris Jericho's work.
Jake Hager has often credited Chris Jericho for bringing him into AEW and making him part of The Inner Circle when the promotion launched on television in October 2019. Hagger was aligned with Jericho throughout his entire AEW run, which came to an end in May.
Speaking on the No Shave Man Cave, Hager commented on Jericho's place in AEW.
"Here's the thing I like about it. Did you see Triple H putting over any new guys? Did you see Undertaker putting over any new guys? Did you see any top guys, who have been in the business for as long as Jericho, putting over anybody? Did Sting put over anybody? No. [Jericho's] trying to build. He understands it. It drives me crazy that nobody talks about this. He's putting over these guys. He's putting the stamp on them. Did he make Orange Cassidy hot? I mean, come on. I'm biased, but I think the fact that he is so unselfish with building this company. Forget about it," said Hager.
Jericho is currently aligned with Bryan Keith and Big Bill to form The Learning Tree.
Jericho is the reigning FTW Champion, and has put Samoa Joe, HOOK, and Katsuyori Shibata out of action in recent weeks.
