The following are highlights of a new AMH Network interview with Chris Jericho:
On his use of social media: “It’s just the best way of promotion, Twitter and Facebook. I remember having a website back in 1997 when no one did because I got it right away how important it is to communicate with people around the world. Also to get the instant feedback, when you do something you can vibe it right away. Did people like it? Did they not like it? This is now the new wave of promoting whatever you’re doing and all of your projects. For a guy like me who does a lot of diverse things and has a lot of projects going on, I need social media to promote those things to gaze the reaction. There’s a fine line to, of doing nothing but promote and sometimes I’m guilty of that. Sometimes I look and the last 30 tweets I’ve sent have all been promotional, which is cool, but you need a little bit of personal observation in there as well. I think when I go on Instagram and see Mick Jagger posting pictures, he gets it, you know? And I love that someone like Mick Jagger is also on social media in that respect. It’s something that my generation and the generations after mine, it’s just a part of our lives, social media is something that you do all day long. Whether you’re just looking on Facebook, or you’re not quote unquote famous, it’s just a cool way to connect with people and let people know what you’re doing. If you are in the public eye it’s the same thing, I always think that if this were around in the ’80s and I could follow Paul Stanley and find out where he is and what he’s doing, I would’ve been jumping all over it. People and fans like to have an inside connection, they like to know more than the norm, but you can’t over expose yourself and that’s another thing that you’ve gotta watch out for. I try to balance everything that I do, I keep people informed but there’s definitely a little bit of mystery involved as well.”
On his “Talk Is Jericho” podcast: “It’s something that I’ve always loved to do, I had a radio show for a while but the podcast started back in December. This week is our 50th episode which is really cool, and I mean I just really love doing it. It’s so versatile and diverse, you know? It’s not a wrestling podcast, it’s not a music podcast, it’s just whatever I find interesting. If I have the opportunity to talk to someone, I’ll do that. Just like with the Snooki episode I loved it and she was great but there were so many people saying “I’ll never listen to this because Snooki’s on it!” and I’m just like, “shut up!” (laughs). If I’m doing it and I’m the host then trust me that every guest is going to be good in one way or another because if they weren’t then guess what? I wouldn’t have them on. That’s part of having a big fan base, people are always going to question things that you do. There can be nine people that love it and one person that absolutely hates it and that’s okay, it’s good to have an opinion. I love doing the podcast, I love being in the band and if you dig Chris Jericho then you’ll dig the projects that I’m doing including every episode of my podcast. It’s always a blast seeing who I can get on my show and seeing how people react. Obviously some shows do better than others but at this point they’re all doing pretty good, so it’s really gratifying.”

– The latest edition of Chris Jericho’s “Talk Is Jericho” podcast, which features part two of an exclusive interview with Paul Heyman and Edge, is now available. The official description for the show reads as follows:
TIJ – EP51 – WWE’s Paul Heyman & Edge Pt 2… & Egypt Returns
“It’s Round 2 with Chris Jericho, Paul E. Heyman, and Edge! And this time it’s WWE Smackdown vs Raw, ECW, Liza Minelli (WTF?), and Paul E.’s departure from WWE. They also talk Sabu, Raven, Cesaro, and fav matches! And… it’s the return of Egypt! He & Y2J are predicting WWE’s upcoming Money In The Bank PPV Event!”
Paul Heyman, “The One Behind The One In 21-1″, appeared with WWE Hall of Famer Adam “Edge” Copeland on this week’s Talk Is Jericho podcast. During the interview, Heyman spoke at length about why he thinks CM Punk decided to leave WWE.
“He was unhappy. He had enough. He couldn’t take it anymore. A year before he walked these was daily conversations of, ‘I don’t think I’m going to be able to take this. I’m not sure how much longer I’m going to be here. I don’t know how much longer it’s going to be before I just decide to go home.’ I’m surprised it lasted that long.”
Heyman says that Punk was no longer able to “find the passion” that he needed to keep up with the grind of being a WWE Superstar – which is what ultimately led to his departure.
“Every day with him was an exercise in him finding the balance to simply continue on and find the passion he needed that he to do it. And I think what happened was he walked in the day after the Royal Rumble and he couldn’t find that passion. He couldn’t convince himself or persuade himself, ‘OK, whether I’m happy or not this is about the performance, my legacy. It’s about I take pride in what I do. And whether I’m happy or unhappy when I go out there I’m going to be the best CM Punk I can be.’ And I think somewhere during that day he couldn’t find that.”
