Chris Jericho Telling AEW Talent Everyone Could Use 6 Months Working For Vince McMahon

Interesting comments from Chris Jericho.

While addressing Vince McMahon's removal from WWE creative and his smaller role within the company, Chris Jericho revealed that he has been telling talent in All Elite Wrestling that "everybody could use six months working for Vince McMahon." 

"There are the reasons why he's stepping aside, and I'm not talking about that side of things. I never thought he would step down. I think had those other issues come up, there is no way he would have. Also, Vince is also smart and I bet he was like, 'Okay, I'm at the point now where it's not good for me to be here.' He trained, groomed, Triple H for 20 years and probably felt confident enough that things were going to continue without him. I say this all the time in AEW, I think everybody could use six months working for Vince McMahon," Jericho told Chris Van Vliet.

"That's where you really understand what the wrestling business is and how the business works. I loved working with him, I loved going head-to-head with him and creating ideas, debating ideas, arguing ideas. He always used to say, 'I'm not here to teach you wrestling lessons, I'm here to teach you life lessons.' He did. He taught me a lot of life lessons. The guy is a really f*cking cool guy, from my experiences with him. Not easy to deal with, an asshole sometimes, but he's your boss, you're not supposed to be friends with your boss all the time, but you can still get on a private jet and drink for four hours listening to the Stones."

Chris Jericho spent much of his career working under Vince McMahon in WWE. He is now one-half of The Golden Jets with Kenny Omega in All Elite Wrestling.

Jericho has remained on good terms with Vince McMahon since his WWE exit and the former AEW World Champion was a shock guest on Broken Skull Sessions in 2022. 

Those "other issues" that Jericho referenced were the sexual misconduct and hush money allegations against Vince McMahon that remain under investigation by the United States Government.
