Whatever. He’s allowed to talk about Mania if he wants. Freedom of speech and all that. Sorry but I don’t really see what the big deal is here. Nobody is saying he can't, but by the same token we're allowed to mock him for his constant attention-seeking. |

I listened to the podcast and he's mostly being sarcastic "OMG, The WWE banned me, but I'm still going to do an outlaw podcast about them!!!". He's being tongue and cheek. Yeah it was a good ep. He literally said he’s not really “banned” and he’s obviously just kidding. He’s not cultivating a “rebel” persona at all. |

I kinda hate myself a little for it, but the more people turn on him, the more I reflexively start to like the idiotic shit he does.

Remember when people swore up and down that Jericho could legitimately beat Brock Lesnar up? I don't remember a single person saying that, but then it was like a ninety-page thread. I listened to the podcast and he's mostly being sarcastic "OMG, The WWE banned me, but I'm still going to do an outlaw podcast about them!!!". He's being tongue and cheek. Holy shit, the most useful post in the thread! |

Jericho is annoying and I've had no use for him since he beat Neville in Japan for no reason.

Yeah I listened as well. Totally leaning into the absurdity of the statements and it's zero % serious or attention seeking the way he makes the jokes throughout the episode. He's just being silly in a way that doesn't translate to text well.

I've said this before.
Jericho knows he has an audience of smarks who like the idea of rebelling against WWE (we've all seen people claiming AEW are the next big thing in wrestling) and he is just doing this to draw them in. Its classic Y2Carny.

This has forced me to continue my streak of never listening to his podcast. Jericho, you Mayer manipulator, you!

Was it? I skipped it because I figured he would be a bit weird with the coverage now that he is firmly entrenched outside of WWE. Maybe I will go back and listen. |

No different than his other PPV rundowns except he makes jokes about WWE snipers and scrambling his PPV feed signal and other short ridiculous snippets at random. Worth a listen. |

I have it on good authority that Vince shits himself at the thought of Jericho talking about Mania on his podcast. It's the biggest threat the WWE has ever seen.

I listened to the podcast and he's mostly being sarcastic "OMG, The WWE banned me, but I'm still going to do an outlaw podcast about them!!!". He's being tongue and cheek. The problem is he's pulled Carny stuff like this while acting 100% serious in the past to work people... This is like the only time I can think of when he pulled something like this and wasn't being serious... |

He’s working a meta-heel character for AEW. I think he’s going to run with “not needing” to be in All Elite and doing them a favor by joining their company will be a narrative. Corresponding on Mania on his podcast gives him fuel for that.

Is he mad about not having WWE wrestlers as his guest? Most likely but I think he realizes that it's better to take this in stride instead of airing it out because we know WWE can be petty if he says one thing they don't like

And they STILL blow up that Goldberg story like Jericho gave him five upside the jaw and knocked him out. Dude grabbed Goldberg's head for dear life and went dead weight. That Goldberg/Jericho story is the new "you know youngin when I was your age I beat Michael Jordan in a pick-up game" lol. Yup. I've heard interviews from people who saw the fight and said Goldberg going for Jericho's hair is normal as if he got him he can control where Jericho went where as Jericho played it as a joke. But they also said Goldberg knew he had heat and was also trying not to fight a guy he thought was close to Vince and that Jericho instigated everything so who knows |

Corresponding on Mania on his podcast gives him fuel for that. I get that, but the thing is I don't WANT that for AEW. The last thing a blossoming company needs is someone immediately drawing attention from his past in the WWE; it's the same issue that killed the momentum Impact had when it moved from Fox Sports to SpikeTV. If Jericho wants to talk about WWE products and stars, that's fine. Personally I think he should be doing his damnedest to try to build up the new AEW signees before Double or Nothing, but constantly talking about how he's the "Rockstar Rebel" is just so lame (again, just IMO). |

He kept saying he’s banned throughout the podcast. I liked it cause I like when he has Jack Slade on the show. Didn’t like how he feels if Ronda loses then Brock has to win or vise versa. |

Banned from the premises? Surely he's working this a bit and knows he's coming across like a douche?

Chris Jericho is one of my favorite wrestlers of all time, but everything he does that isn't wrestling is lame as f***.
