Potential Spoiler On Chris Jericho Returning To WWE

Chris Jericho could be on his way back to WWE, according to the new June 2014 issue of WWE Magazine.

One of the feature articles looks at next month’s Money in the Bank pay-per-view, which takes place June 29 in Boston, Massachusetts at the TD Garden. Four Superstars with experience in Money in the Bank matches are profiled, including  Cody Rhodes, Kofi Kingston, Christian and Chris Jericho, who is listed as a ‘current’ WWE Superstar:

“Already with a Hall of Fame-worthy career, Jericho could still use a win at this event to make us forget about some lackluster recent returns to the ring,” states WWE Magazine. A contract cash-in would be just the thing he needs to net him a seventh World title also.”

In recent weeks there have been rumors that Jericho is getting ready for another WWE run. The Wrestling Observer reported back on May 7th that WWE officials contacted Jericho to return, but he was unable to commit due to his touring schedule with FOZZY. ring,

Later that week, Jericho was interviewed by British newspaper The Mirror and spoke about his relationship with the company. “I have a good relationship with the WWE and there’s no animosity, but it’s not like we’re calling each other every day finding out what we had for dinner that night.”

When asked directly about a return to the ring, Jericho said,

“No time soon, I left last July and I’ve been working pretty much non-stop since then between Fozzy tours and doing the new Fozzy record and writing another book and doing my podcasts and a web series. There are a lot of projects in the Chris Jericho pantheon as always. That’s not to say that I won’t go back but I have no plans as of right now, just because I have so much other stuff going on that I’m enjoying. We’ll see, there’s no controversy or animosity it’s more of a timing thing; the timing has to be right for me and right for the WWE as well. When it is I’m sure we’ll both consider me coming back.”

  • Chris Jericho Speaks On Using Rock Antics In Wrestling, Performing On Broadway?

    The following are highlights of a new interview with Chris Jericho:

    On comparing live rock peformances to pro wrestling: “The comparison is just the rush of being in front of a live crowd. You’ve gotta connect with the crowd and you’ve gotta always be the party host for the people, Especially on a day like this, because it is very cold and rainy, but if you can get people involved in the show, that takes their mind away from the weather and they just get enjoyment from a great rock and roll show. Anytime you’re in a live element, whether it’s music or wrestling or live theater or whatever, you have to have a connection with the crowd; it’s the most important thing. It’s more important than nailing every single one of your shows. If you’re connecting with the crowd and getting them involved in what you’re doing, it’s always gonna be a great show.”

    On using rock and roll antics in wrestling: “When I started wresting, I wanted to be the ultimate rock and roll frontman in wrestling, I wanted to be the Paul Stanley [KISS] of wrestling, the Dave Lee Roth [VAN HALEN] of wrestling. So when I started becoming big in the WWE, the Y2J character was, basically, just the same traits and characteristics that I had ripped off from Paul Stanley or James Hetfield [METALLICA]. So then when we started FOZZY, I took the same characteristics that I was using in wrestling that I had stolen from rock and roll and just brought it back into rock and roll. So it’s all a very similar circle of show-business pomposity, shall we say.”

    On possibly appearing in a Broadway musical: “I would love to do Broadway. I had Sebastian Bach [SKID ROW] on my podcast a couple of weeks ago; he did great on Broadway, because, once again, you’re performing. Anytime you can perform… And singing is acting; you have to get into it, you have to believe what you’re singing and believe what you’re doing, and, once again, believe in the show that you’re putting on. ‘Cause people aren’t stupid; they can sniff out smebody that is real, they can sniff out a fake from a mile away. If you get their trust and you make them realize that we will have a great time at this show, [they’ll] have a great time watching this play or whatever, they’ll get more involved and get into it.”

  • Chris Jericho Speaks On His Relationship With WWE, If He’ll Ever Return

    The following are highlights of a new Mirror interview with Chris Jericho:

    What’s your position in wrestling at the moment, can we expect to see you back in the WWE anytime soon? “No time soon, I left last July and I’ve been working pretty much non-stop since then between Fozzy tours and doing the new Fozzy record and writing another book and doing my podcasts and a web series. There are a lot of projects in the Chris Jericho pantheon as always. That’s not to say that I won’t go back but I have no plans as of right now, just because I have so much other stuff going on that I’m enjoying. We’ll see, there’s no controversy or animosity it’s more of a timing thing; the timing has to be right for me and right for the WWE as well. When it is I’m sure we’ll both consider me coming back.”

    Do you always maintain a constant dialogue with the WWE even when you’re away? “For relevant reasons. Once in a while you’ll shoot texts back and forth with somebody, or if there’s some business thing going on, like if they need something signed or a scan for a video game or something like that but it’s not like I talk to the WWE every week and give them my thoughts on what’s going on with them or they call me and give their opinions on what I’ve been doing. It’s a business relationship and like everything else when you’re gone you’re gone and when you’re back you’re back and if there’s anything in-between on a business level or a personal level I’ll get in contact with them. I have a good relationship with the WWE and there’s no animosity but it’s not like we’re calling each other every day finding out what we had for dinner that night.”

    Do you think about your legacy and going into the Hall of Fame when rolls around each year? “I don’t think about that stuff man. I live in the now, I don’t really watch a lot of stuff that I’ve done on the past, I respect the fact that people enjoy my work and I’m very proud of it. When it comes to the Hall of Fame if I get the call and if I’m available … Or if I really want to have some fun with it I’ll just pull a Sex Pistols or an Axl Rose and refuse to show up, and be like, ‘Don’t mention my name I don’t want anything to do with this.’ That would be kind of fun to do. I’ve never been the type of guy that wants that sort of thing. You know if I never wrestle again it won’t bother me, I don’t want the big send-off – I don’t want the big farewell match where I’m in the ring crying in front of 70,000 fans because I’m such a hero and my career is done, I don’t look at it that way. My career continues to move forward. One day much to my fans’ chagrin I won’t be wrestling anymore but I’ll playing rock ‘n’ roll in your town, or I’ll be doing a podcast and you can hear me twice a week, or I’ll be acting in some show or I’ll be doing a spoken word performance. It’s not like I’m just going to dry up and go away when I finish wrestling. Much of what I’ve been doing over the last few years is what I’m going to be doing for the next 20 years or 30 years, and less and less of that will be in-ring performing. Not that I couldn’t still go out there now and kick ass and tear it up because that’s what I do but when the time comes that I feel I couldn’t do that anymore then I won’t do it.”

  • Chris Jericho Speaks On His Favorite Match Of All-Time, Fozzy & More

    The following are highlights of a new Shining Wizards podcast interview with Chris Jericho:

    On if he still gets nervous before he performs, either in the ring or on the stage with Fozzy: “Nervous in a good way. I’m absolutely nervous if I’m going to have a good set, nervous if the people are going to go nuts and that everything is going to work out the way you want it to. I think the day when you don’t feel that (nervousness) is the day where you need to step back and move on to the next thing because it’s not easy. I don’t care if you’ve had 3,000 matches or 3,000 shows under your belt, you just never know what’s going to happen. There’s nothing better than having a great gig or a great match and there’s nothing worse than having a bad one. I’m not nervous where it’s like “oh my gosh what am I going to do?” but nervous in that I want it all to come off good and people leaving saying “holy smokes that was one of the best things we’ve ever seen.” And that’s always my goal, no matter what it is.”

    On whether it’s inherent that wrestlers to want to perform in other genres of entertainment: “I don’t think it has anything to do with pro wrestling. I think it’s either your an entertainer or you aren’t. Do I consider myself a wrestler? No. I consider myself an entertainer and have since I was 19 years old. Anything that falls within that umbrella that I think I can do, I’m going to try it. I think that’s the same with anybody, whether it’s Rock, Foley or Austin. I play the part of a wrestler and I enjoy that, and now I’m playing the part of a singer and I enjoy that. If you’re an entertainer and a performer, you like to do different roles, and that’s the way I’ve always looked at things.”

    On his success and trials in both wrestling and music: “You do need a little bit of luck, but it’s all hard work, dedication, sacrifice and passion. You have to believe in what you’re doing. You have to know that sometimes it’s going to be roses and sometimes it’s going to be crap. It’s like that with wrestling when I first started and to wrestling now even. It’s funny because sometimes we’ll do a Fozzy show and you get 100 people there and people say how can you work in front of 100 people with Fozzy and you just came from working in front of thousands with WWE. Well, you know, not all WWE shows are sold out either. You can go to Greenville, South Carolina on a Saturday and have 1,500 people in a 20,000 seat arena and then you have WrestleMania that’s got a sold out 70,000 stadium crowd. It’s the same with Fozzy. Sometimes it’s not a good show or a good crowd. One week we are playing for 100 people then the next week we’re playing for 80,000 people on the main stage.”

    On his favorite match: “The favorite match that I’ve seen was Shawn Michaels vs. The Undertaker part one at WrestleMania. I think that’s the best match I’ve ever seen in my life.”

    On the best match he’s ever had: “It’s hard. It varies. Again, gun to the head, it’s probably Jericho vs (Shawn) Michaels at No Mercy, ladder match for the World title. And it’s not just because the match itself, which I think is the best ladder match of all time, but because of the circumstances surrounding it and the circumstances that got us there. We had a seven month amazing angle which was one of the greatest of all time in the WWE that was supposed to be a one show only feud but just organically grew into this amazing piece of storytelling that culminated in a ladder match for the World title, which neither one of us were ever supposed to have when the whole thing started. So it was a really cool moment to show what you can do with the right storyline and with the right performers.”

  • Chris Jericho Speaks On Sting To WWE, CM Punk Rumors, Paul Heyman & More

    The following are highlights of a new Digital Spy interview with Chris Jericho:

    How did you feel about the end of The Streak and how it happened? “I loved it, I thought it was great. It was a legitimate shock, it got everybody talking. I think the right guy got it, if you’re going from a credibility standpoint, and if you’re going from a believability standpoint. As much as people and fans and journalists want to believe that it’s the case, I’m not sure if Undertaker had too many matches left in him. Maybe he doesn’t want to wrestle again. Maybe he knew that he couldn’t take any more.

    “It’s a big, physical task to wrestle as it is, and once a year is hard. I wouldn’t want to come and wrestle just once a year. That’s even harder than wrestling 200 times a year, because your body’s not used to it. And the older you get, the harder it gets, the more the aches and pains kick in.

    “Maybe The Undertaker decided that, ‘I don’t want to do this anymore’. And much to the fans’ chagrin, who wish that we would wrestle until the day we die at 90 years old and explode into a puff of dust in the ring, sometimes you’ve got to make that decision.

    “If the time was now, Brock was the right guy for that day, and I thought it was amazing. And I would have hated it – hated it – if Undertaker would have retired without losing. I think that would have been a horrible way to go, I’m really happy that he lost The Streak.”

    What do you think of the work Paul Heyman’s done in the last year, and especially since WrestleMania? “If it’s Paul Heyman you know it’s going to be good. He’s a master at writing promos, at delivering promos and getting an angle over. He’s just one of those talents that can do it all. It doesn’t surprise me in the least – as a matter of fact it surprises me that people are so surprised at how good it’s been.

    “The WWE is always morphing and changing in a good way because you have younger guys that are coming in, you have guys that are finally having their chance and breaking through to the next level, and you’ve got guys like Paul Heyman that have been doing this for so long they know exactly how to handle things, exactly how to get things over.”

    What do you think about the rumors of a CM Punk return? “I don’t know, man, who knows, right? That’s something that only he can answer for sure. To me, if he hasn’t come back already, then… I left the WWE for two-and-a-half years in 2005. The only difference was I left when my contract was up, but I disappeared too, because I just was over it. I couldn’t take it anymore, I wasn’t interested in being there, I was getting miserable, so I know how he feels.

    “I had no intention of coming back, and after two-and-a-half years I watched Shawn Michaels vs John Cena at WrestleMania 23 and that inspired me to want to come back, but it took two-and-a-half years to get there.

    “So my answer is, ‘I don’t know’, but I just know how I was when I did the same thing. It took a long time for me to be able to come back, and I was probably the same age as Punk is now too, so maybe he’s going through the same thing and after a few years he’ll come back.”

    How would you feel about Sting joining the WWE in some capacity? “Personally I don’t really have any opinions either way. If he comes to the WWE, good for him, it’s great. I saw him a couple of times in TNA and you know pretty much what he can do at this point in time. He is a legend and to have him come to the WWE for the first time would be great, but after a week or two what’s he going to do there?

    “If you’re a hardcore fan it might be cool – for me it doesn’t really matter either way; if that’s what he wants to do then good for him, and I hope he shows up. And if not, then I don’t think it’s going to make a difference either way in WWE business. It’s not 1998 anymore, you know.”

    The following are highlights of a recent BANG Showbiz interview with Chris Jericho:

    On meeting Ultimate Warrior in WCW: “I only treat people the way that they treat me and I only met Warrior once and he was really gracious and really cool to me back in 1998 in WCW. He was there to do something with Hulk Hogan and I remember I went up to say hi to him and he went, ‘Hey, Chris Jericho, I know you, you’re doing a great job you’re doing some good work.’ I was a nobody at the time and I remember thinking, ‘Wow, the Warrior likes me that totally smokes.’ It made me feel that I must be doing something right and it gave me a little bit of a boost and I always remembered that … He’s definitely a legendary guy that deserves to be in the Hall of Fame, I’m glad he got to go in when he was still alive.”

    On being a fan of Warrior: “As a fan in the late 80s when Warrior came out, he had this energy, this intensity and his look; he was like a heavy metal guy – or he came across that way – and so was I, so I liked that. I always respected him as a performer, some of his matches were pretty quick I remember he came in the Winnipeg arena once and beat Andre the Giant in 30 seconds, at the time I was like, ‘What a rip off! That sucks.’ But I remember WrestleMania VI where he had a classic with Hulk Hogan, much like a lot of guys from that time period he had good matches when he had the right opponent.”

  • Best Original WWE Network Programming

    Since the launch of the WWE Network, over 600,000 fans have subscribed to the service. While it’s a bit below the one million subscribers they were hoping for, it’s still an admirable number for a service that is still only available in the United States.

    With live access to every pay-per-view and a vault containing every special event in WWE, WCW, and ECW history, it is safe to assume that most fans signed up in order to gain access to the special events, and at the reduced price of only $9.99 per month, who can blame them?

    There is a lot more to the WWE Network than just a vault of old events and live access to each month’s pay-per-view, however. There is also a boatload of original content. Here is a list of some of the must-see original content on the Network.

    5. Legends of Wrestling: Families – Watching a bunch of old-timers talk about the good old days is usually about as exciting as watching paint dry, but some of these are actually pretty entertaining. One of the best round-table discussions includes a panel consisting of Sergeant Slaughter, Jim Ross, Ted DiBiase, and James J. Dillon. The group discusses the importance and prevalence of families in the WWE. It is interesting to hear DiBiase discuss how having a father in the business influenced him to become a professional wrestler.

    Daniel Bryan's journey to WrestleMania is something most fans will be able to enjoy.

    Daniel Bryan’s journey to WrestleMania is something most fans will be able to enjoy.

    4. Journey to WrestleMania: Daniel Bryan – This is obviously one of the newest pieces of original content on the Network. It follows Daniel Bryan on his week leading up to this year’s WrestleMania and provides a number of exclusive interviews leading up to the event. It also discusses his rise to the top after initially being terminated from the company, with commentary from William Regal and Pat Patterson discussing how the company made a mistake in his firing. The most interesting parts of this documentary are the backstage scenes and hearing his fellow wrestlers praise him for his accomplishments.
