Yesterday marked the 30th anniversary of Chris Jericho's first wrestling match against Lance Storm, and the All Elite Wrestling star has now celebrated that with a lengthy Instagram post.
Since making his debut, Jericho has been part of pretty much every major wrestling company, including ECW, WCW, WWE, New Japan Pro Wrestling, and AEW. He's won a number of titles over the years, and was both the first WWE Undisputed Champion and the inaugural AEW World Heavyweight Champion.
On Wednesday's episode of All Elite Wrestling: Dynamite, Jericho's career will be celebrated by the company, while he'll team up with Jake Hager to take on Luther and Serpentico in a tag team match. Jericho has previously made it clear that he would like his final match to be against Storm, and there's a very good chance that could happen in AEW.
Check out Jericho's post below:
30 years ago today I had my first match against @stormwrestlingacademy in #Ponoka, Alberta!! Amazing to think it’s been that long ago, but what an incredible journey I’ve had! Please listen to #TalkIsJericho and hear #LanceStorm and I discuss that first match, how we got booked, my first pair of @stryper influenced tights, the #MooseHall venue, what we got paid, why I got heat for wearing black boots, how I chose my ring music, why I was billed from “Kasper, Wyoming”, who else was on the card and an exclusive watch-along of our first bout by Lance and I! (Access the match at http://www.chrisjericho.com/watchalong ). And stay tuned for info about my new book #TheCompleteListOfJericho, a chronicle of EVERY match I’ve ever had featuring exclusive top ten lists, never before seen photos and info you’ve never seen or read anywhere else!
