Chris Jericho is hands-down the biggest veteran pro wrestler outside WWE.



A former WWE Superstar and current AEW talent, Jericho has rewritten history multiple times in his nearly 30-year-long career.



The independent circuit is hotter than it has ever been since its inception but at the same time, wrestlers are calling out the legality of talents being labeled as independent contractors.

During a recent interview with Jesse &#8220;The Body&#8221; Ventura on RT America, Y2J talked about AEW spearheading the change and protecting indie talents in the long run.



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">&#8220;I think right now is the best time for wrestlers. There is a lot of options, there is a lot of ways to put that money away to be able to take care of yourself. There is a lot of guys from the &#8217;80s that weren&#8217;t able to do that and are having a lot of issues with healthcare and that sort of thing. I believe in helping a lot of those guys in regard to healthcare.&#8221; </blockquote>

<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"> &#8220;The system is flawed in that respect. I think AEW is definitely more about wrestlers and not just in that respect, but also as far as being in control of who you are as a performer.&#8221;</blockquote>



Jericho also took a shot at WWE that classifies wrestlers as independent contractors and doesn&#8217;t have anything for them after they retire from the ring. He didn&#8217;t hold back in laying down the harsh truth &#8211; WWE is being micromanaged.



While the WWE legend&#8217;s contract might just save the day, the number of old gold stars enjoying the deal is far less than what it should actually be.

<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"> &#8220;There is a lot of micromanaging going on in the&nbsp;WWE&nbsp;right now. There are scriptwriters, script doctors, all this sort of thing isn&#8217;t good for the business either. AEW has a fresh perspective on all of those things. I think it is something that will change the business.&#8221; </blockquote>



The 6-time World Champion also clarified his current status and addressed the wind of change in AEW.

<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"> For myself, I&#8217;m an employee of AEW. There are inroads to that at least for me, I&#8217;m a registered employee with the company, so there are options that are opening up more into this sort of vibe. There is a much more of a big-time sports mentality rather than the old school kind of the way wrestling is done mentality&#8221; </blockquote>
