Chris Jericho has opened up on his belief about the possibility of having legendary boxer Mike Tyson wrestle for the first time.
While Tyson has made appearances in WWE and AEW, most notably being the special guest enforcer for the Shawn Michaels-Steve Austin WWE Title Match at WrestleMania 14, he has never wrestled.
Jericho recently did an interview with WrestleZone.com where he talked about Tyson possibly having a match in AEW.
Jericho started out by talking about how Tyson has been an enforcer, thrown a punch, knocked somebody out, and a brawl.
“The one thing he has never done is have a match, and I think this is the perfect time for him. The aura and the mystique of Mike Tyson is back. He looks great, you’ve seen his sparring videos, he moves fast, he’s ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson again.”
Jericho noted that one of the worst things you could do is put him in an actual boxing match. He stated that Tyson could do an exhibition, but they want to keep Tyson’s aura at a maximum which is why AEW is perfect for him.
Jericho stated that they can do whatever storyline they want in order to plug him into any situation that they want to make. He stated that he thinks there’s no better person for Tyson to wrestle than him because he never lost his aura or mystique.
“You can see that I’m doing some of the best work in my career after doing this for 30 years. So it’s a perfect match-up.”
