#2 Triple H thought Chris Jericho was "careless" in WWE

On his podcast, Grilling JR, WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross recently stated that Triple H thought Chris Jericho's in-ring style was careless and unsafe. Ross also recalled the time when Triple H wanted Vince McMahon to hold a meeting with Jericho to discuss his "unsafe" wrestling style.

The AEW commentator revealed that McMahon was convinced that Y2J wasn't a good in-ring worker in terms of his opponent's safety. For this reason, he did speak to Jericho to work things out:

''I just think that Vince is then able to go tell Triple H, who we were counting on – he was going to become a huge star, great heel – that, ‘I talked to Jericho, I got that cleared up,’' said Ross

Ross went on to describe how he believes McMahon's belief that Jericho wasn't safe in the ring was a result of Triple H's influence.
