This is from a couple weeks ago. Not sure if it's been mentioned elsewhere, but what's interesting is that, at 8:45, he talks about the Raw polls and what happens when results don't reflect WWE's plans for the show.

If Jericho wasn't doing his Fozzy thing, I could see after he hangs up the boots for good him being a WWE Ambassador.

This interview just makes me think how they would have dealt with Backlund winning the vote.

It is what rvd, batista, terry funk, austin, and piper do. Hell Roddy Piper and Terry Funk do tons of b-movies yearly and they pay a lot. Their sag cards are why they got so many surgeries for free. Austin is loving his sag insurance and so is foley. More wrestlers should look into movies or entertainment really. I have seen viscera on lots of bet movies |

I was thinking about this interview as I was doing some work in the yard and one piece of it was kind of troubling.
Jericho talks about not even acknowledging a father and son as they asked for his autograph because he was invested in the heel character. I can respect that, but the thing is there's a kid out there who was a Jericho fan who ended up getting crushed by a guy who was "in character" and didn't want them telling people he's nice. For all we know this was the kid's only chance to meet Jericho who in turn spent the whole time ignoring him.
I'm still a fan of his but its a real dick move on Y2J's part.

Being a dick and crushing kids dreams is the whole point of what he wanted to do. |

Can't wait for that new Jericho book, because SRS Jericho was amazing and i want to read all about it. Agree with him on the HBK feud being one of the best ever.
Also, damn you Vince, Jericho tattooing his initials on CM Punk would've been incredible TV.

Maybe, but kayfabe is DEAD; so it seems a lil unnecessary, and keeps wrestling grounded in old, outmoded carny tactics. |

I see what you mean, it's not like Jericho being a dick to that one kid was going to make-or-break his angle. But, I understand that for him it's an all-encompassing thing, when he speaks of method acting and things like that, he was completely in tune with that character and that's probably a big reason why it was successful. I think the Bill DeMott-type hazing stuff, the weird locker room hierarchy, and people like Michael Hayes still being employed goes a lot more towards keeping that scummy carny mentality alive than a heel remaining a heel off-camera, especially when he's in the building he's going to be wrestling in that night. Eventually that kid will grow up and realize that Jericho was just working, if he hasn't already. |

Oh for sure, the stuff you mentioned were worse; but just in the age where everyone knows it's acting it seems silly to stick to character to that degree where you'd be a dick to fans unnecessarily. Like you wouldn't see Christian Bale remaining as Batman etc.
He's old school and such, and I love Chris, but the mentality just seems a lil outdated to me personally.

...the original idea for the 2012 Jericho/Punk feud was for him to TATTOO HIS INITIALS ON HIM! Vince shot it down. Jericho came up with that awesome program for the IC title with Rey he reveals, too. This is why certain guys need to have creative freedom over Vince.
The tattoo thing would've been so much better than CM Drunk. The way Jericho explains it sounds so good - that every tattoo Punk has means something to him, and for Jericho to put his own initials on him would stomp all over that.

I happened to have watched this yesterday when it popped up in my youtube recommended list. There's another good one here that's maybe a week older: www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2ZMe3CSo1E |

People say this about a lot of guys, but I would genuinely be interested in seeing how Jericho would write a wrestling show. |
