Chris Jericho has worked with everybody and anybody in pro wrestling, but there will be one legend who will forever elude him.
A fan of Y2J took to Twitter to share his thoughts on what dream match/promo scenario he’d love to see and it involved Jericho being pit up against WWE Hall Of Famer Randy Savage. Jericho caught wind of the proposed prospect and gave his own input with a quote tweet.
“Man I wish I would’ve gotten to work with Randy. One of my heroes for sure.”
Chris Jericho Looks Back On The Legend Of Randy Savage
Randy Savage famously stated in a promo that the “cream always rises” and Chris Jericho is living proof of that in pro wrestling as he’s been a star to reinvent himself on more than one occassion. However, no matter how creative Chris was, he never got to work with Macho Man. He spoke of such desires on a recent episode of “Talk Is Jericho”
“What a f*cking talent. That’s one of my biggest regrets — I never got to work with Bret [Hart] or Savage, even though I was in WCW with both of them!”
Jericho did share the same WCW locker room with both Savage and Bret Hart, but did say on that very episode that he was never allowed to be booked with them. Jericho recalled a time after Savage was retired when the two talked about not working with one another.
“He was like, ‘Yeah, I wish I had a chance to work with you.’ I’m like, ‘Then why didn’t you request it?'”
