Chris Jericho has been in the wrestling business for over three decades and is happy in AEW. Like many wrestlers, he has his share of critics, and now it appears he chose to avoid backlash after bragging about earning over 4-star matches across four decades.
Le Champion took to his Instagram and uploaded a post where he bragged about the fact that he earned 4.25* from Dave Meltzer for his match against Bandido on the February 22nd edition of AEW Collision. Jericho proudly pointed out his achievement of earning 4-star-plus matches across four decades, reminding fans never to underestimate him, saying, “Four Decades of Four ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️plus matches! Never underestimate Chris F**kin Jericho! @wonf4w @aew @ringofhonor @bandidowrestler #90s #00s #10s #20s”
However, the ROH World Champion ended up turning off comments for the Instagram post as he likely wanted to avoid any backlash he would have received for making such a post in the first place.
This is especially interesting considering the fact that Chris Jericho recently claimed that he really does not take social media criticism seriously anymore. Therefore, fans wonder why he decided to turn off comments if he already stopped caring about any criticism he might have received.
Social media can be good and bad for just about anyone, and Chris Jericho has dealt with both fans and critics alike. However, his choice to limit interactions on Instagram suggests that criticism online might impact him more than he lets on.
Do you think Chris Jericho turning off comments contradicts his claim that he doesn’t care about online criticism? Is this a smart move to maintain his peace, or does it raise more questions about his true feelings toward fan feedback? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!
