Although at 52 years old Chris Jericho is in a good moment physically speaking, the truth is that his recent fight against Tomohiro Ishii received some criticism for his discreet physical performance in the ring.
This issue was addressed in an article published by the WrestlePurist medium in which they stated that the Japanese fighter looked much more aggressive than Jericho in the ring and that he could not maintain the same pace of intensity, so he should stop assuming certain risks. Obviously, this article did not please Jericho and he responded directly on Twitter stating that they do not know him and that he always has to give 10000% in all his fights.
I love when the “experts” say “Jericho doesn’t have to do this or take this kind of punishment at this point…”. Just shows that You know nothing about me. Because the true answer is, YES I do have to do this! Because I’m Chris Jericho…and I won’t ever give less than 10000%. https://t.co/JunAbLJt9B

I love when “experts” say “Jericho doesn’t have to do this or take this kind of punishment right now…”. He just shows that you don’t know anything about me. Because the real answer is, YES, I have to do this! Because I am Chris Jericho… and I will never give less than 10,000%.
Chris Jericho seems to be clear that no one should question his physical performance, much less question the risks he must take in the ring. Be that as it may, no one can doubt that at 52 he looks really good.
