Kevin Kelly Shares His Thoughts On Chris Jericho’s Learning Tree Persona

Kevin Kelly recently discussed his thoughts on Chris Jericho’s latest gimmick as The Learning Tree in AEW. Jericho took on the persona in recent weeks, and the former AEW announcer spoke in an appearance on Eric Bischoff’s Wise Choices about how he believes Jericho will be able to make the character work and get it over with fans.

“You can never discount Chris Jericho’s ability to get new things over,” Kelly said (h/t to Wrestling Inc). “It’s like he always wants to challenge himself and do different things. It is where he sees himself at this time in his career, so let’s look at it at it from that point of view.”

He continued, “And I think that will help the audience embrace it. It is a little inside baseball’ and I think that might be where some people miss out.”

Jericho has gathered a small group around him including Big Bill, and Bryan Keith, and recently talked about how much he’s enjoying the character.
