As any professional wrestling fan would know, Chris Jericho is one of the most successful stars of all time. He is one of the very few to have been part of WCW, WWE, and AEW. Jericho also is the only wrestler to have captured a top championship in WWE, AEW, New Japan Pro Wrestling, and Ring of Honor.
This past weekend, The Ocho wrestled at the DDT Ultimate Party. At the event, he competed against one of the members of the Don Callis Family, Konosuke Takeshita. After a hard-fought battle, the inaugural AEW World Heavyweight Champion managed to pick up the win via pinfall.
Following his match, The Ocho took part in the post-show press conference. During the conference he mentioned that he is interested in returning to the Land of the Rising Sun, Japan. Chris Jericho wants to have a major main event match at the Tokyo Dome. He also shared his interest in wrestling Minoru Suzuki.
“If you’re talking about other wrestlers in DDT, Endo, I thought he was very good tonight. I was very impressed with him. I still think there’s a Jericho-Ibushi match that we could have in Japan. I think the biggest Japanese wrestler never faced is Suzuki. I know he wants to do it and I want to do it. Once again, he’s a lot like my thoughts on Takeshita. I don’t want to have a match just on a random Dynamite. I want to have a big main event match in Ryogoku, in the Tokyo Dome, somewhere big, and I want to do it in Japan,” Chris Jericho said.
