TONY KHAN: AEW DOUBLE OR NOTHING POST-SHOW MEDIA SCRUM COVERAGE

Chris Jericho

Jericho praised the production team for capturing the Anarchy in the Arena bout.  The idea was to do a Stadium Stampede inside an arena with fans.  They wanted something with the Stadium spirit but with the fans.  They only have so many cameras and needed to keep it in front of the fans.  He thinks people really enjoyed it and where Khan placed it in the show was really smart as it kickstarted things for the last third of the show.

Khan said that the Anarchy in the Arena was more sustainable as a match vs. Stadium Stampede.  They can do it again whenever the time was right.

They were asked about the song playing during the match.  Jericho said they were harkening back to New Jack's music playing during his matches.    It was a way to keep the match different and then Jericho can be the party pooper to break it and stop the music.  

Jericho said that all the work everyone has put in has brought them back to where they were in January 2020 before the COVID pandemic hit.

Jericho was asked about his look.  He said he started changing his diet around for health reasons he will go into down the line.  He said once he lost 10 lbs. and it was easy, he decided to just keep going and make it a lifestyle.  He felt a little inspiration and the timing fit with the Jericho Appreciation Society and it all worked out.  None of it was going to work out the way it ended up doing.  They ended up doing a lot of organic things and the story was writing itself.

Jericho said that he's really happy for CM Punk as champion and feels it was a great exclamation point on the show.
