In a recent interview with Gabby AF, Ring Of Honor World Champion Chris Jericho discussed several topics, including what AEW talents he has been keeping his eyes on.
“There’s been quite a few, Danny Garcia, perfect example of a guy that just came out of basically nowhere and thinking, this guy has no personality, I don’t even know what this guy’s going to do, and then suddenly, and suddenly now, he’s starting to get it. I think I might have wrestled one or two tags against Danny, but never had a Singles Match with him.
A guy like Kyle Fletcher has got the world at his feet, Takeshita is only scratching the surface of how good he’s going to be, there’s quite a few of those types of guys. I think Hangman and Swerve have done a lot of great stuff, I still don’t think they’re half of what they’re going to be.
I think MJF as well, I think MJF is half of what he’s going to be in a few years, so there’s a lot of those types of guys that they’re not in their first year in the business, but they’re developing. Jack Perry, from when he first started, Darby Allin, just to see how far he’s gone, so it’s an ongoing process.
A guy like Nick Wayne, I don’t even know anything about Nick Wayne, we see him on the show, but when he finally starts to break out, I think you’re going to see a whole new world of that guy. That’s what we’re always waiting for, who’s going to discover something that’s going to take them to the next level. We don’t know, because sometimes it’s not who you think it’s going to be, that’s what I’m kind of waiting to see.”
