Chris Jericho has suggested once before that he plans to bid a short and sweet goodbye to the wrestling world when he hangs up his boots.

This would preclude the possibility of a WrestleMania retirement match, so you would think - but then Jericho has also implied that he would gladly snub his own Hall of Fame induction, so we should perhaps take whatever he says on this subject with a healthy dose of salt.

The fact is, though, that we can't be certain that Jericho hasn't in fact wrestled his final WWE match - that being the US Title triple threat on SmackDown in July, wherein he was pinned by AJ to help get the belt off his former best friend.

There is a certain poignancy, too, to the idea of the Canadian finishing off his incredible run in the squared circle back in the place where it really kicked into gear back in the mid-1990s.

What we're saying here is that you really need to tune in on January 4, just to be on the safe side. You don't want to miss Y2J's last ever bout (even if you can be certain he'll write about it in his next book).
