PCO On Chris Jericho Becoming ROH Champion: I Never Saw It Coming

Former Ring of Honor World Champion PCO is watching what Chris Jericho is doing with the company right now on All Elite Wrestling programming.

Current IMPACT Wrestling star PCO recently was a guest on the Shining Wizards Podcast to discuss a wide variety of subjects. When asked about Ring of Honor being part of All Elite Wrestling right now and Chris Jericho being its champion, PCO admitted it was something he didn’t see coming.

“We haven’t seen that much so far. Two or three championship matches? We’ve seen Gresham dropping the title to Claudio, and then Jericho became the champ,” PCO said. “So that’s what we’ve seen so far, so how far do they want to go with this. Is it something that’s going to last a year? Or six months? Or three months? I don’t know, but I think it’s very interesting, and I think it was very smart, and nobody saw it coming.

“I think that’s the greatest thing about it. Even me. I didn’t see it coming. I thought it was going to be just another match for Claudio. Not that I disrespect Chris or anything. I never saw it coming, and when it happened, to me, it was the greatest thing that could happen to ROH. I think it leveled up Chris with another championship, a major one. It leveled up Ring of Honor brand with Chris’s name. It’s kind of a win/win. Chris wins because he’s got another major title, and ROH wins because it has Chris’s credibility. So, all that put together was a genius move to me. Genius move.”

While Ring of Honor continues on All Elite Wrestling programming, the stable in IMPACT Wrestling called Honor No More, which features all former Ring of Honor talents, is going through some growing pains. PCO admits that, at the moment, the group isn’t on the same page.

“I think that the fact that we come out as Honor No More, I think maybe PCO should maybe have a different entrance. I should have my own song because people don’t really like Honor No More, and they don’t know how to react. Should we boo him? Should we like him?

“Because they like the monster;  the kids, the parents,  everybody likes the monster. It’s a contrast with the rest of the group. So that’s what creates the dissension between some members of the group and Eddie, the leader of the group and myself. We’re not on the same page, ya know?”
