Chris Jericho took to Twitter to defend Marko Stunt against the backlash he’s received from fans for being “too small”. Jericho compared his current situation to that of Rey Mysterio’s when he first debuted in WCW. Here are the Tweets from Jericho:
Laughing at ppl complaining that @MarkoStunt is too small & a “disgrace to pro wrestling!” Funny thing is I thought the same thing about @reymysterio the first time I met him in 93. I also saw @TheUltimoDragon get REAMED out by his boss when he first brought Rey to Japan in 95.

#DeanMalenko got laughed out of #WCW locker room when he stood up for Rey before their first match in Aug 96. Both men were congratulated afterwards after ppl saw Rey work. Times have changed & Marko IS small. But most of the workers on the roster are smaller in 2019 then the 90s
