Chris Jericho was recently a guest on the Keepin it 100 podcast. During the podcast, Jericho was asked how he thinks that Roman Reigns would fare in AEW.
In his answer, Jericho ended up providing a small critique about Survivor Series.
Here is what he said (h/t to Wrestling INC for the quotes below):
“I watched Survivor Series, it was really good, but there was this promo with The Miz and Daniel Bryan and Miz saying for the sake of our children and our families you have to stop The Fiend. Nobody talks like that. You can still put the guy over big time, but what is he going to do, break into your house? Steal your kids? It’s just not believable. It’s cartoonish in a bad way,”
“If you have a guy like Roman Reigns in AEW he’d be so over because Roman Reigns is a legit really cool dude. He’s a great guy, super cool. He’s the kind of guy you want to hang out with, but they never portray that on the show. They always give him these promos to read. The real Roman Reigns never shines through. It’s the same with Seth Rollins. They have their own, unique personalities so don’t write stuff for them, just have them bring up that they have a title match, what it means to them and just go out there and do it and it would allow them to get over as a result.”
