I am certainly not blindly positive about AEW. I haven't watched Rampage in over a month, sometimes I can barely make it through one of the badly booked Dynamite episodes. Still though, AEW PPV's are some of the best of all time, even when the builds are bad or the explosions come off like wet farts.

Jericho's initial run as the top guy in AEW was certainly better than anything he'd done in years in WWE. Not to say his late WWE stuff with the list was bad, but he had been devalued in WWE near the end. AEW repackaged him and treated him like an icon. His work as the first champion was definitely his best championship run in his career.

That's why I consider his AEW run to be some of the best stuff. The feud with The Inner Circle and Cody was fucking incredible. He also had some great TV stuff with Scorpio Sky and Darby. Then Mox came in and turned it up a notch taking the belt and Jericho ended up doing Stadium Stampede with The Elite. Which at the time was one of the most fun things you could've asked for considering the pandemic and the limitations.
