I hate is a strong word, according to AEW's world champion, Chris Jericho. But in wrestling, the essence of the industry is based on hatred and animosity, with those despised rivals facing the ring, with the strongest man who survives the fight.
During a question and answer session with “Monopoly Events”, A fan asked Jericho if he ever “hated” any of the opponents he faced in real life during his three decades of career. The Canadian fighter mentioned a man who deeply disliked him, and how WWE's former president McMahon constantly encouraged Jericho and his opponent to keep resentment alive between them.
“Throughout the rivalry with Triple H before Wrestlemania 18, we didn't like us. Now we like it, but at that time we didn't like anything well, It was mutual. Vince knew about that situation and what he used to do was fostering that feeling of hatred. He encouraged Triple H and encouraged me not to like us because many times that shows in the ring and is good for the fight and for the business. So he created a lot of competition and personal tension, not only animosity, but a personal desire to demonstrate that you are the best“.
In the main event of Wrestlemania 18 of the year 2002, Triple H defeated Chris Jericho to become WWE undisputed champion, in Toronto Skydome, Ontario, Canada. The current AEW fighter lost last April, the Roh World Championship against Bandit.
