AEW star Chris Jericho shares ‘damn good’ physique after ‘dad bod shamed’ at 52

Legendary wrestler Chris Jericho has proved once again that age is just a number, after showing off his muscular physique on his 52nd birthday.

Jericho, who is the current Ring of Honor World Champion, took to social media to post a mirror selfie of himself.

Wearing leather rock pants, and nothing up top, the Canada-native simply caption the image “52…”.

His selfie was part of his mission to hit back at fans who, in 2020, slammed him for having a “dad bod”.

And fans were quick to praise the multi-time world champion, who now calls All Elite Wrestling – owned by Premier League club Fulham's Director of Football Tony Khan – his home.

One fan tweeted: “Looks great on you!

“Abs for days, this is why you’re the goat!”

And another posted: “I hope I look as damn good at 52 – happy birthday!”

A third wrote: “Dude how the hell did Chris Jericho knock like 20 years off his age.

“Dude must have a hell of a regiment.”

Jericho, who made his in-ring debut in October 1990 against fellow legendary Canadian Lance Storm, made a name for himself in World Championship Wrestling in the late 1990s.

He moved the move to WWE in 1999, debuting against The Rock in one of the most iconic moments in the company's history.

His debut was teased for weeks with a “Countdown to the Millennium” clock, with it hitting zero as Jericho debuted.

He went on to win 27 championships with the company, including nine Intercontinental Championships – still a company record today.

He left in 2005, taking a two year break, before returning once more in 2007.

Apart from a short break in 2010, he remained in WWE as a top teir talent until leaving for New Japan Pro Wrestling in 2017.

He shocked the world by signing for WWE's biggest rivals All Elite Wrestling in 2019 as the company's first marquee signing.

Jericho was the company's first world champion, a title he would hold for 182, before losing it to Jon Moxley – formerly Dean Ambrose in WWE.

He is also the lead singer of hit rock band Fozzy, and the son of ice hockey legend Ted Irvine, who won the Central Professional Hockey League in Canada in 1966 and 1967.
