One of the true all-time greats of the business, Chris Jericho is someone who forever seems to split opinion when he finds himself at the commentary desk.

Much like the previous times Le Champion has found himself calling the action in AEW, Jericho's commentary on Friday's AEW Rampage received quite the backlash from certain online quarters. And now, the inaugural AEW World Champion has taken to Twitter to tell those haters to *whispers* suck it.

For some fans, the more loud and frantic moments of Jericho's commentary work can be a little jarring, while others embrace the passion and energy that the Fozzy frontman brings to the literal table.

Having had several guest stints on AEW commentary, Jericho now finds himself as part of a four-man Rampage team that also includes Excaliber, Taz and Mark Henry. Tony Khan has previously detailed how Henry will be utilised in a wide variety of roles on Rampage, meaning that the show will have periods where it's essentially a three-man announce team, as the World's Strongest Man roams around.
