Turnbuckle Weekly with Chuck Carroll recently
interviewed WWE Superstar Chris Jericho, who was promoting
his new book The Best In The World: At What I Have No Idea. Below are some
highlights.
Jericho on his schedule with WWE: “Over the last four of
five years my schedules and dates surround Fozzy, and WWE has kind of been not
as much of a priority. I still love doing it, but I realize it’s not something
I’m going to be doing forever. I realized that years ago. To go back for the
European shows, Roman Reigns got hurt, there was some injuries and I always
enjoy working overseas. So, it’s kind of just a quick little run. Other than
that I don’t know. When this Fozzy tour ends, whenever that may be, if I have
time available and the WWE has something interesting for me to do. It’s not like
they’re just sitting around waiting for Chris Jericho to come back. There have
been times…I was going to go back for WrestleMania 30, but we couldn’t figure
out anything for me to do that was worthy of that.”
Jericho on how he gained McMahon’s respect: “Yes, there is
a lot of confrontations with Vince, but that’s because there’s a mutual respect.
And some of them get out of control…It’s only because both of us respect each
other, trust each other, and believe each other. It doesn’t mean I’m always
going to like the things he does or the things he wants to do. And it doesn’t
mean that he’s going to like the things that I do and the way that I act and
react to things either.”
