"Only I can save the Wrestling Business" - Jericho

Former WWE Undisputed Champion, the lead singer of Fozzy, the author of the soon-to-be-released autobiography "A Lion's Tale: Around The World In Spandex," & possibly soon to be returning to a television near you (?), Chris Jericho, was the special guest on this past week's live edition of Monday Night Mayhem (10/15/07), which can be heard in streaming audio every week (hosted by The Big Mosh & Blade, and heard LIVE at 8PM ET/7PM CT every Monday night) exclusively on The Monday Night Mayhem Radio Network

During the show

Chris made a very clear statement about his return to the business (coming off the heels of taking two-plus years off, and being able to work on various acting projects, touring with Fozzy, & more): "If I go back to wrestling, it is going to be on my terms, but I would not want to give up the stuff I have been working on over the past several years." He feels that after he wrote the book especially, that now "could" be the time to go back, and he continued on by saying "It would be a big step. I'd love to go back to have some fun and do my thing. For better or for worse, fifteen-plus years of experience...you can't teach experience, you can't teach his style of wrestling that I do, you can't teach the style of promos I do...It's something that I do out of instinct at this point in time. A lot of guys today are waiting for the writing, the creative team, Vince, or Dixie to make them into stars, and wrestling has never been that way...It's about the individual taking the ball & running with it. It's not about how big you are, or how many moves you can do, it's about simply connecting with the crowd. Chris goes on into further detail and comments on this topic that EVERYONE around the world wants to know about -- only which you can hear on The Mayhem, so check out this must-listen interview, as words are only words guys, a recap is a recap. Take the time to hear Chris' honest comments on this...

When it comes to current talents in the business he might interested in working with: Chris would love to work with The Boogeyman ("he is one of the best characters I have seen in years"), Abyss, AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Marafuji, John Cena, Mr. Kennedy, & MVP (the latter two he thinks need some work because they are still very young and green, but if they have some guys they can spar with, they will end up turning out okay in the end), Edge ("who is coming into his own"), Randy Orton ("who is getting better"). Chris has no problems working with anyone in particular, no matter what their work-rate is, or how big they are -- which is one of the things, he feels, has kept him around for so long.

Chris claims to have not seen any of the "Save Us 222" promos that have been running currently on RAW, ECW, & SmackDown for the past few weeks, so he is "not sure what they are." He just heard about them, but does describe them as very "cryptic." Jericho went on to say that he is "not smart enough to read clues...he needs to be banged over the head with clues." He does love, however, how people have instantaneously associated him with these promos -- continuing to get/keep his name out. This, in addition to TNA using his name in a text message contest on their programming a few months back (along with Brock Lesnar & Goldberg), which he had no problems with. He encourages the fans to keep using his name as a spoiler and a teaser.

With "total self-confidence and arrogance," Chris knows without a shadow of a doubt "Only I can save the wrestling business" and once again turn the world on its ear. "There's only a certain amount of people who can do what I do." Jericho described two years away from the wrestling business is a "lifetime," and that some fans might not think he will ever come back. "If and when I do, it will throw people for a loop. When the time is right, I will be back." Until that time comes, he is happy doing what he is doing right now.

chris jericho..
wasn't this the idiot that made his entry in the 1st raw of 2000? (or was that someone else, the name sounds vaguely familiar and i can associate him with some fool in WWE )

Btw OT: whats happened to Cena. I watched a little of no mercy yesterday. HHH competing in 3 championship matches on a single pay per view and what a classic finale. Randy Orton becoming the champ. But where the hell was cena?

and anyone knows what happened to HBK Orton broke his neck or he has just retired?
