Chris Jericho, recognized as one of the greatest wrestlers in history, recently revealed that his inspiration to become a wrestler was Ricky Steamboat. Jericho, who has had a storied career in wrestling, first gained fame in World Championship Wrestling (WCW) before becoming a main event star in World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). In 2009, he had a memorable feud with Steamboat, culminating in a match at Backlash 2009. Recently, a clip of this match was shared on Instagram, where Jericho expressed his admiration for Steamboat. After a brief absence from the ring, there were rumors that Jericho might leave AEW for WWE, but he returned to AEW's Dynamite show, putting those speculations to rest. Jim Ross, a prominent wrestling commentator, noted that Jericho's return in his hometown of Winnipeg was fitting and not unexpected, given his deep roots in the area. Fans are excited to see Jericho back in action with AEW.
