Jericho told Pak Gazette Digital in a recent interview that he wanted his career to be remembered similarly to that of a great rock and roll band.
“I think it’s like a big rock and roll band, you know?” said. “I mean, the Rolling Stones just released a new album, and it’s amazing, but it’s been 60 years with the Stones and some of the eras you love, some of the eras you hate, some of the eras you wish had gone away, and some of the eras you wish they’d done more of, and you’re still glad they’re here. I think when it’s over, people will be sad that I’m not here anymore.”
He said he believed people who currently dislike him might miss him once he hangs up his boots.

“And I think a lot of the people that you mentioned on social media that don’t like me just because I keep doing this will realize that we had something really good there, we should have been looking a little harder because all I do is give my best 1000% to any situation I’m in to make it better, make my opponent better, make myself better, make the company better, make the program better, and I’m very proud of all the work I’ve done,” he said.
“And that’s why I still do it, that’s why I still love wrestling and making documentaries that involve wrestling, per se, because I think it’s a wonderful sport that really unites the world, a wonderful form of entertainment. I’m living my dream doing something I’ve always wanted to do and here I am doing it almost longer than anyone else at a high level. I think it’s something to be proud of.”
Jericho currently competes in AEW and will return to programming in April. His documentary, “Vietslam,” also premiered Tuesday.
