During the early days of his professional wrestling career, Chris Jericho often worked in Mexico as Corazon de Leon.
During a recent interview with “WFAA,” the AEW wrestler commented on whether he’d be interested in returning to Mexico, who he might want to face in the country, and more.
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On if he would return to Mexico: “There is always potential, it depends on what the match is though. That’s the cool thing for me at this point in time. I don’t have to ever go back to Mexico. I’ve spent so many years there, and I love my time there, but if a match came up that was interesting, I’d do it. I just went to Japan to work with Takeshita in DDT, and I’d never been to DDT before. I worked New Japan specifically the last few years, but it was the match. ‘How could you go there?’ I really wanted to work with Takeshita in Japan.”
On who he might want to face in Mexico: “If there is somebody in Mexico that seems to me would be interesting to work with there, then I’d do it. It’s the same reason why I don’t want to work with Minuro Suzuki here in AEW, I want to wait to do it in Japan. It’s a big match we could have there. I’ve worked with Komander and Bandido here in AEW in the States — Komander was in Canada, both those matches were tremendous. Maybe a match against Bandido in Mexico is something I’d be interested in. Vikingo, guys like that, RUSH, I’ve never wrestled RUSH ever. If we’ve waited this long to do it in AEW, maybe we’d do it in Mexico and make bigger money. That’s what I think about. There is always a chance, for sure.”
