People act like he's out there raping and murdering little brown kids. It's a Chris Rock standup special as far as I'm concerned. Jericho's getting those Bring the Pain level jokes. Chris Rock - "ANOTHER brown kid???" "Looooove Chris Jericho! Tired of defending him!"

He's got to be kidding. He's future HOF material.
I don't think working with AEW will prevent them from putting him in. Honestly, no one even knows how successful AEW will get.

What probably happened:
Jericho calls random WWE publicist- Hey, do you want to send some people to my podcast to promote Mania?
Publicist- Who is this? What podcast?
Jericho- Talk is Jericho! Jerky!
Publicist- Don’t you work somewhere else? We probably can’t send our people.
Jericho- Oh really?! I suppose next, you’ll take me off UpUpDownDown and Edge & Christian’s show? Probably try to ban me?
Publicist- Uh maybe, yeah.
Jericho- You’ll be sorry for this! Just wait!
Publicist- Uh yeah, OK.
Jericho- So, I’m banned??!!!
Publicist- For now, yeah...Hangs up.

Jericho has been hitting the sauce a lot more since his departure.

Despite being "removed from the annals of history", Jericho is still listed on the Alumni Section of the website. Also listed: Alberto Del Rio (Crazy Cokehead) Austin Aries (King Jerkoff) Big Cass (Midget Killer) Bill DeMott (Ugh) CM Punk (MMA/Courtroom Enthusiast) Demolition (Surly Old Men) Emma (Very Convoluted) James Ellsworth (UGH) Jim Cornette (Craziest Old Man Ever) Marty Jannetty (Fired 4578 Times) Raven (Sues Between Network Documentaries) Rich Swann (Acted Like a Creep, Was a Creep) Ryback (CARELESS) Scott Steiner (King Crazy, also actually was banned from attending events) Stardust (Chris Jericho's Boss) The point is...THAT'S how big an asshole Enzo Amore is because he's not on the Alumni list. While I was enjoying reading that list, I had no idea where you were going with it...then I got to the twist at the end. Bravo!

Not really a poor Chris situation, more of how the WWE remains run by petty little assholes He’s saying that WWE is taking down videos and editing shows. They aren’t. He’s trying to drum up sympathy. Yeah, a lot of the AEW hardcore fan base are pretty much "f*** WWE! THEY TOOK CODY'S NAME!" etc, so in a way, it's smart to make WWE seem even more like the enemy... but yeah it's bullshit. Even if it was true, which it isn't, i'd love to see any company in the public eye help promote their competition. It doesn't happen, but it only seems to be in wrestling where a business is seen as evil for acting like a business.

Jericho should be a happy a dumb money mark gave his washed up bloated ass his biggest ever contract at 48.

Love Jericho's midlife crisis he's actually helped start a new wrestling company backed by someone with way more money then McMahon so we may have more options then the awful wwe. But he's kinda arrogant so I guess we should all hate him

I really don't understand the major disconnect going on in this thread. You've got one side of people just making fun of Jericho for saying something stupid and demonstrably untrue, and the other side acting like everyone's calling for his head on a pike.

Its not just what he said in this thread I honestly don't care if he's lying or not. I just don't understand the big dislike for Jericho when he's a big part in what could change the wrestling business for the better. Yeah its fun to make fun of a midlife crisis. Most people having one buy a fancy car or cheat on their spouse. Jericho changing a business he loves and doing band work which he loves. if a mid life crisis is powering all that then good for him I'll said with him even say his dumb tattoo looks cool if it keeps him going and hopefully gives us another option then wwe

AEW is gonna be pocket change to him Money yes. Good business practice and spending money wisely and prudently? Unlikely. Treating fans with anything there than utter contempt? Unlikely by the track record. Edit: going well off track here. I'm just here for the mocking mostly.

So I was watching some recent Y2J interview clips over the weekend (one had to do with this recent news, though I didn't watch it), and...
Look, I know FAN likes to crap all over Bret for sounding so self-important, but Jericho comes across the same way too, right? And I guess I'm used to Bret doing that so much that it isn't uncomfortable to hear him do it....but it was tough to even get through what Jericho clips I did.
What I did read of Jericho talking about this latest slight against him sounded like he's putting a LOT of weight behind his theory, maybe moreso that's really there...

Jericho pushing the narrative that he's the biggest power player in the industry right now.
Dude you're old and you look like an old woman wearing grandma underwear. At least go back to pants for f***'s sake.
