“You have to retire” – Multi-time WWE champion criticized for underwhelming performance

The January 11 episode of AEW Collision in Athens, Georgia, sparked intense debate about Chris Jericho’s in-ring future after his match against Dax Harwood drew widespread criticism from viewers on social media.

Social Media Reaction Turns Critical

The match quickly became a trending topic on Twitter, with viewers expressing concerns about the quality of the performance. Several fans voiced their frustration with the bout’s pacing and execution.

One viewer offered a direct perspective on the performance:

Quick question. WHAT THE F** DID I JUST WATCH. HOLY F***.

The discussion extended beyond casual criticism, with some questioning Jericho’s decision to continue wrestling at this stage of his career. A fan addressed this sentiment:

I’ll never forgive anyone from The Elite for giving Chris Jericho the motivation to wrestle into his 50s.

Technical aspects of the match drew particular scrutiny from viewers. A detailed critique emerged:

Dax vs. Jericho was a clunky mess. They wrestled in treacle before it fell apart. Might be time to give up on this ‘Colliders’ deal and make the Saturday shows ‘good.’
