Chris Jericho Praises Finn Balor – Says He Is Genuine & Humble

In today’s episode of Chris Jericho’s “Talk is Jericho” podcast (which you can find here), Jericho briefly spoke about Summerslam during an interview with MTV’s Johnny Bananas.

He said that Balor told him a story about feeling sorry for himself until he saw someone on Good Morning America with no arm. He added that Balor is a “genuine, humble guy” and he’s pulling for him to return and “kick some ass.”

He added: “He’s got it all. He didn’t lose the title. He has this amazing new character that we don’t know anything about and then he goes out for 6 months with an injury.”

He said when Balor returns, “hopefully by Wrestlemania”, he’ll be better than ever. Jericho did not address the altercation with Brock Lesnar at Summerslam.
