AEW star Chris Jericho took to Instagram, celebrating the 35th anniversary of his wrestling in-ring debut on October 2, 1990.
“Crazy to think it’s been 35 years to the day of my VERY FIRST MATCH! On Oct 2, 1990 I faced @stormwrestlingacademy in Ponoka, Alberta at the #PonokaMooseHall, in front of about 85 people. The match ended in a ten minute draw and I remember every little thing as if it happened only yesterday! (I got paid 30 dollars….a 20 & a 10!). I have had a wonderful, amazing, one in a million career since then…. and I wanna thank all of YOU from around the entire world for joining me for certain parts …or even all of it! And the Good news is….IT AIN’T OVER YET!”
Jericho is currently signed to All Elite Wrestling, though he’s been absent from AEW programming since dropping the ROH World Championship to Bandido earlier this year. His contract with the company is believed to run through the end of 2025, and Tony Khan recently commented that the door is always open for Jericho to step back into the spotlight.
