Jon Moxley believes Chris Jericho ranks as one of the greatest of all-time

Jon Moxley is slated to challenge AEW World Heavyweight Champion Chris Jericho for the title in Jericho’s next title defense. This will mark Moxley’s first chance to capture the top title under the AEW banner. 

He’ll do so when AEW holds the Revolution pay-per-view event tonight (Saturday, February 29, 2020) in Chicago, IL from the Sears Center. 

Moxley did an interview with Sporting News that was conducted by Steve Muehlhausen to not only promote this show but also the match. 

During the interview, Moxley spoke about his belief that Jericho should be among those listed as one of the greatest of all-time to ever do it in the pro wrestling business. 

“I think his drive is to be the greatest of all time. I remember him telling me that when we were talking about ideas we had for an angle that we didn’t even end up doing because plans changed. He was gone for a while, and he’s like yeah, ‘I’m gonna call myself the greatest of all time’ because The Rock and Stone Cold (Steve Austin) and they hadn’t been here however long. I’ve been here for longer, been doing it at a higher level for longer (than) all these guys.’ I started thinking back then, and this is like 2015, and I’m like, ‘Yeah, you’re right.’

“Like this is one of the greatest of all time. He’s done so much else since then that it’s insane. I think his drive is to be in that top echelon of the greatest of all time. He’s definitely put himself in the conversation.”

Moxley noted that this match is rare as you get two guys with so much momentum. He noted that Jericho is hotter than he’s arguably ever been in his career, which he thinks says something. He also thinks that he himself has a lot of momentum behind him and hasn’t been beaten in AEW yet.
