On the latest episode of his “83 Weeks” podcast, Eric Bischoff discussed Chris Jericho and Will Ospreay’s match at AEW All In 2023 this past Sunday, the build to their match, Jericho getting to sing live and then wrestle in front of over 80,000 people at Wembley Stadium, Ospreay’s merits as a performer, and more.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On Chris Jericho & Will Ospreay’s performance at All In 2023: “Feels a bit. Was Chris able to go out there and perform his music in front of 80,000 people? Chris got to live two dreams in one. One segment. Right. He’s out there living his rock and roll fantasy. And he’s in the ring with one of the best performers probably that has stepped into the ring forever. He is able to go out there and have a fantastic match. How do you not think that that’s just freaking awesome?”
On the build to the Chris Jericho-Will Ospreay match: “And the other thing I liked about this is I liked, you know, again, it’s not a storyline. It’s an angle. And there’s a difference, folks. There’s a freaking difference between a storyline and an angle. Figure it out. But while it wasn’t a storyline, the fact that Jericho showed up at an independent event and confronted Ospreay to shoot an angle to lead into this, I thought that was smart, you know? And I’ve often thought that even when I was producing pay-per-views, too much emphasis was on getting the matches out early, promoting the individual matches, early.”
