I did not know what I was doing

A retired legend has issued a public apology to former AEW World Champion Chris Jericho. The star is none other than Vampiro. The pair reportedly have had heat since their CMLL days.

Vampiro recently appeared on the 83 Weeks podcast with Eric Bischoff where the lucha legend referenced Jericho’s past comments about him before offering a public apology to the AEW veteran.

“There are rumors that there are problems between him and I; I’ve never had a problem with him. I’ve never spoken bad about him. I know for a fact that he doesn’t really like me, he’s said some things about me, he’s mentioned some things between us in Mexico from the past, I have apologized and I want to do it here again. If there’s anything I’ve done that I can remember or cannot remember, I, from my heart and soul, forgive me Chris, I did not.. I did not know what I was doing; too immature.” [H/T: WrestlingInc]

Vampiro then proceeded to praise Chris Jericho for his longevity in this business, noting The Learning Tree has worked incredibly hard to get to where he’s at today. He also stated that aspiring wrestlers could learn from Jericho’s work ethic.

Chris Jericho names his wrestling Mt. Rushmore

Chris Jericho recently appeared at Horror, Rock & Wrestle Fest 2025, where he was asked to name his wrestling Mt. Rushmore. The first-ever Undisputed WWE Champion namedropped Ricky Steamboat, Shawn Michaels, and Owen Hart as his three picks before saying he might place Randy Savage in the fourth spot.

“So, Mt. Rushmore of Wrestling … that’s four. I mean, Ricky Steamboat, Shawn Michaels, Owen Hart, those are the three right there that were kind of my inspirations to get into the wrestling business. I mean, the fourth is kind of rotating. Obviously, I love Bret Hart — I’m not a Bret Hart fanatic like a lot of the guys are, and actually I wish — there was another question that was asked, if you could wrestle anybody, who would you wrestle? I never wrestled Owen Hart — never got to wrestle with him — never got to wrestle with Bret, and I never got to wrestle Macho Man. I fu**ing love Randy Savage. I might put him in there, in that fourth spot as well.” [H/T: WrestlingInc]

Manik Aftab writes Exclusive articles for Sportskeeda Wrestling’s WWE division. A BA (Hons) in English Literature helped him improve his writing skills before starting his career as a pro wrestling writer.

Before joining Sportskeeda, Aftab worked for Ringside News and The Sportster, where his wrestling articles and feature pieces consistently ranked on the first page of Google SERPs.

He prioritizes accuracy, relevance, and ethics in his reporting by conducting thorough research, verifying sources, and adhering to professional journalistic standards.

While Aftab’s favorite wrestler in AEW is Hangman Adam Page, he doesn’t have a favorite in WWE yet. However, he considers Stone Cold Steve Austin to be the greatest professional wrestler of all time. His earliest memory of watching pro wrestling was when The Rock faced The New Age Outlaws in a handicap match, but it was the John Cena vs. Edge match from Unforgiven 2006 that got him hooked. If given the chance to manage a star from the Attitude Era, he would choose The British Bulldog, as he believes Davey Boy Smith was a terrific worker and could’ve benefitted from having a mouthpiece for his lack of mic skills.

When not watching pro wrestling, Aftab enjoys reading science fiction and watching anime.
