He's always talks about KO. Just shows how much Jericho respects him. And for a good reason. Owens is one of the best workers in WWE right now.

Jericho is a fucking legend. His longevity and the ability to reinvent himself numerous times has put him on the hall of fame career path he has taken.

[@franklingoodwin]

Don't let him fool you, Chris Jericho would love nothing more than to have a real life Jericho Appreciation Society - and that's exactly what being in the WWE HoF would be 😂

[@RyujinRoot]

Totally he just being humble

[@LadyDragonsblood]

Actually, he is speaking the truth. He has said a million times, he doesn't care if he is in the HOF or not. He says he KNOWS what he did in his career and doesn't need a cheap ring and a plaque to remind him.

[@franklingoodwin]

@@LadyDragonsblood Hey cares alright. He also cares about being being seen as one of the GOATS Being in the HoF affects that perception. Scott Steiner said something similar (only with worse language) but guess what...

My pitch The Rock Have The Rock induct Jericho into the Hall of Fame and at some point before the end, have the countdown start and Jericho can interrupt his own induction speech being given by The Rock. Just like his debut when he interrupted The Rocks promo.

[@abohsukampret]

Then The Rock still goes "IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOUR NAME IS!" when Jericho starts introducing himself.

[@onyroo]

After reading the comments I have to agree that I think Stephanie McMahon would be the best to induct Y2J. If Vince inducted Undertaker, I think the Billion Dollar Princess can induct Jericho.

[@drevandamva]

Let the boobies hit the floor!

[@kevinhousen2791]

Damn that rivalry was very underrated and entertaining. Some of his best promo work. Y2J is one of few who stood toe to toe on the 🎤 with Stone Cold and the ROCK. Chris Jericho is one of the goats.

[@MarkusMojicaMusic]

In my humble opinion, I think it should be either Lance Storm or Dean Malenko that induces Jericho. The history between those 3 dudes is very rich, and I think Lance especially would have a lot of funny stories to share

[@ericmonaco4509]

@@21nspired Maybe like The Rock or perhaps Triple H

[@OkieAllDay]

Whether Jericho was in the company or not Triple H was always going to be the one to induct his best friend, Shawn Michaels, into the WWE Hall of Fame

[@Confucius202]

They're not really friends though... Never were. Michaels and Triple H were always more like business partners. I don't think Michaels really has any friends within the wrasslin' industry.

[@MSH786]

@@Confucius202, WTF are you talking about? You must’ve never heard of the Kliq!

[@Confucius202]

@@MSH786 business partners, I stand by it... Yes they had a good time - but how long was it though? Two years? Maybe less. I don't think that Shawn Michaels and Scott Hall were really close at any point. Triple H was merely their driver because he never drank. He wasn't a top guy at that point, so he didn't even really fit into the group. That's why they asked Bret Hart if he wanted to be part of the group, which the Hitman rejected. I stand by it: Strictly business. It's just the way things turned out that Triple H and Shawn Michaels had the most longevity within the WWE, whereas the others left and came and left again... But don't mistake that with a deep friendship between the two.... Was Triple H ever invited home to Shawn and his family for Thanksgiving or Christmas? Was Shawn Michaels ever invited to Triple H and Stephanie's family for Thanksgiving or Christmas?

[@MSH786]

@@Confucius202, you’re out of your freakin mind! How are you so positive that their relationship and also Scott & Shawn’s relationship was strictly business and not more personal? Do you know them personally? Are you friends with any of them? How can you be so sure of what you’re saying is true?

[@Confucius202]

@@MSH786 I mean on one hand there are several cues....on the other hand it's common sense. For instance when Gregory Helms talked about his negative experiences with Shawn Michaels, he mentioned how his phone blew up with numerous people within the industry thanking him for what he said - on the flipside of the coin nobody stepped in to defend Shawn Michaels, not even his so-called buddies. And this is the born again version of Michaels from 2002 onwards. You can still look it up on KZbin when you type it Gregory Helms shoots on Shawn Michaels. Or let's take a guy like Bret Hart, who was asked to be the leader of the Kliq... I just can't imagine that he would have so much dislike and negative experience with him, whereas the others Kliq guys would find him to be an adorable person. Makes no sense. And it's not just Bret... It's Bob Holly, The Rock, RVD, etc. The Kliq was basically a bunch of college jocks who were having fun for a brief moment in time. Maybe not even that... More like High school jocks. When you ask college fraternity guys 20 years later about their behavior, a lot of them will tell you that most of it was bullcrap, that it was group pressure and that the other guys were not really friends. Group always means to adapt. That's basically what the Kliq was for like 20 months. Do you really think that Sean Waltman has ever even met Shawn Michaels children? Lol Triple H always wanted to get to the top of WWE, nothing else. Kevin Nash and Scott Hall though were really close. Nobody denies that.

[@paulmallon9292]

Jericho would like nothing better than people telling him how great he is for 2 hours.

[@l-wolverine2211]

I would think that since he was trained in the Stu Hart Dungeon, that Bret Hart would also be someone who would induct Y2J

[@babystephena3773]

Jericho inducting himself in the HoF would be the most Jericho thing to happen like "I'm inducting myself in the HoF as a Gift of Jericho.. Drink it in mannnn!!!"

[@Danfranco]

Should be steph. Always a great team

[@Beavis665]

“That Bottom feeding Trash bag hoe?” 🤣

[@jonathanhall218]

I could see Angle, Austin or the Rock inducting him as their feud in the late 90s early 2000s was solid for a long time

[@albertoalvarez3573]

It should be Rock and Austin inducting him at the same time same night... I think it's very fitting if they can pull it off since he mentioned it in so many promos

[@ivenstorm]

It really is too bad that Ralphus is no longer with us. But if I'm picking someone it would probably be Malenko, if Malenko is physically capable of doing it in his poor health these days. Other than that, yeah Steen is a good option.

He should just pull a classic Heel Jericho move and have 2 of the people he has real life heat with, Goldberg and Brock Lesnar, not only induct him in the Hall of Fame but force them on stage to say wonderful things about him. It's a live crowd, so if either one doesn't say anything nice, they in turn look like the jealous person.

[@Rockabillyman26]

I think if WWE ever decides to induct Chris Jericho into WWE Hall Of Fame, these would be one of my picks of who should induct Chris Jericho if he was going into the WWE hall of fame 1. The Rock, 2. Stephanie McMahon, 3. HBK, 4. Dean Malenko, 5. Kevin Owens 6. HHH.

Malenko makes the most sense given their history. He's really the only one left out of that group of friends that came up together through Japan, Mexico, and the Indys. It was those two along with Benoit and Eddie.

All were in The first Money In The Bank Ladder Match All from Canada All had long blond hair All multiple time intercontinental champions All feuded with John Cena in his first WWE title reign

The way to coax Jericho to go back and accept that induction is if Trips tracked down Ralphus and the Jerichoholic Ninja and got them to accompany him up the podium

[@Jhoncena22]

Nothing hurts Jerichos credibility more than how he changes his answers based on what company he is in. I liked Jericho a lot more before it became clear how crazy his company speak is. Listen to any of his 2014-2015 podcasts and how much he strokes everything WWE does then compare to how he does that for AEW now. The man defends literally anything stupid the people paying him do.
