Chris Jericho Is Having His Best Run In Years - Episode 99

Jericho is back. The Death Riders are stale. And Orange Cassidy should NOT be world champion. This week on The Groupchat Wrestling Podcast, we break down AEW Grand Slam — from Chris Jericho's shockingly good resurgence to why the Death Riders storyline desperately needs a spectacular implosion. We also dive into the heated debate over whether Orange Cassidy deserves a world title run, the state of the AEW women's division, tribalism in wrestling fandom, and why AEW's own high standards might be its biggest problem right now.
