Vince McMahon & Tony Khan Nixed Huge Chris Jericho Match In Madison Square Garden

Chris Jericho’s contributions as a pro wrestler need no introduction. He has competed in various promotions all around the globe for three decades. Jericho is also proud to be working in AEW and isn’t afraid to show it. Being veteran in the business, he doesn’t really have much care about what his haters have to say.

Before making his way to AEW, Chris Jericho has competed in almost every major pro wrestling company including WCW, WWE, NJPW and others. He especially made a name for himself in WWE.

While speaking on Talk Is Jericho, Chris Jericho revealed that Vince McMahon and Tony Khan stopped him from squaring off against Hiroshi Tanahashi at the G1 Supercard in Madison Square Garden back in 2019.

“I was actually going to do it against Tanahashi and then both Tony Khan and Vince McMahon asked me not to do it,.”
