Chris Jericho Donates $10,000 To Buffalo Bills’ Damar Hamlin After Cardiac Arrest

AEW star Chris Jericho has opened his heart and his wallet to Damar Hamlin after the football star’s cardiac arrest.

Hamlin, 24, fell to the ground after colliding with an opponent during the first quarter of a Buffalo Bills match against the Cincinnati Bengals.

After being tended to for 30 minutes on the field, Hamlin was taken to a local hospital and the game was suspended.

The Buffalo Bills later confirmed the cardiac arrest in a statement and added that his heartbeat was restored on the field.

On a GoFundMe for a toy drive set up by Hamlin, Jericho donated $5,000 to the NFL star but a typo meant that the donation had been made by ‘Chrus Jericho.’

Correcting his mistake, Jericho donated another $5,000 and his name was spelled correctly.

Jericho has previously given generously to other GoFundMe pages, including to an AEW crew member who lost their home to Hurricane Ian last year and to Virgil’s medical costs. 

Many are using the toy drive GoFundMe to send their best wishes to Hamlin and wish him a speedy recovery.

AAA Is Finished Putting Championships On AEW Wrestlers

Don’t expect to see AEW talent draped in championship gold from AAA, with the possible exception of Kenny Omega.

At the recent Noche de Campeones event, FTR lost the AAA World Tag Team Championships to Dralistico and Dragon Lee, the latter of whom announced his WWE deal shortly after.

Sammy Guevara and Tay Melo were stripped of the AAA World Mixed Tag Team Championships after Melo was pulled from the event.

According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, AAA is finished putting titles on AEW talent for the time being due to the difficulties with booking them.

“Right now the plan is that unless it’s Kenny Omega, who they still want as their Mega champion because of his work and name value if they can get dates on him, they don’t want titles on AEW wrestlers because of the difficulty in confirming dates on them.”

Instead of appearing for AAA, Melo competed on this week’s Dynamite, teaming with Anna Jay to defeat Ruby Soho and Willow Nightingale.

Jeff Jarrett Claims Vince Russo Has “Serious Mental Health Issues”

AEW personality Jeff Jarrett has said that Vince Russo is dealing with “serious mental health issues.”

In 1999, both Jarrett and Russo left the WWF for WCW, where Double-J became a multi-time World Champion.

Russo, who was responsible for some of the WWF’s biggest moments during the Attitude Era, has been lambasted for decades due to his booking during his WCW tenure.

Speaking on the latest episode of his “My World” podcast, Jarrett spoke about Russo and his alleged issues. He said,

“Candidly, he’s got serious, serious, and I’m speaking from experience, he’s got serious mental health issues. There’s no doubt in my mind, and I’ve said it for years.”
