While speaking with MSN, Chris Jericho gave his thoughts on social media’s impact on pro wrestling.
The top AEW wrestler believes that nowadays, wrestlers can be hurt by social media because they will be rushed if they gain a big buzz among fans. He said,
“Back in those days, you could have really bad matches for years and you would learn. Now, it’s all up for everyone to see. I think from an experience standpoint, guys and girls are rushed because of that. One of the benefits is you can be seen on YouTube and if you’re really good you can suddenly create a real big buzz for yourself much faster than back in the day. In the early days of my career, it was more done by word of mouth, magazines, the different territories that you’re working in Japan or something you could build an image and then come to the States.”
