He failed to mention the reaction that each member of The New Day had when they made the list. Their reaction was golden. They sold the fact that getting on the list seemed like the worst thing that would happen to their careers.

Chris Jericho saying the word “it” was more over than Roman reigns

The original plan of having Jericho win the strap at the rumble and Kevin winning it back to face brock at mania would’ve been great. Especially if Kevin would’ve gone over on brock at the big stage. Would’ve made him a main eventer for years to come.

Jericho has good instincts. I'm glad he won out with his vision of the story line. That Festival of Friendship was one of my favorite segments in the last 10 years.

“Let me just see if I can get “It.” over.” Chris, you could get anything over.

Just the fact that Jericho has no problem with The Miz breaking his Intercontinental Championship reign record but is instead looking forward to it shows the class of that man

He’s The Greatest Of All Time!

The thing I like about Jericho is the fact that he wants to know everything about every detail and because of that it makes his work 1000x better and it makes his interview so much better because he could talk about the same topic for hours and he wont repeat the same sentence twice so it makes it so much more intriguing

Jimmy Jacobs is one of if not THE most underappreciated minds in the entire wrestling business

Jericho has a great ability to deliver a line in just the right way. The "list" was fantastic and so funny. Jericho doesn't have a problem with throwing humor in there and he can still be a really hated heel at the same time.

Jericho has always been one of the best. From Ralphus to The List, all hail the Ayatollah of rock and rolla!

I love listening to Jericho tell his stories. He's had such an amazing career and has been involved in so many great matches with so many legends.

I hope so much that he brings the list back, it was so awesome.

Arm Bar, It, The List, Quiet Quiet Quiet, Y2K, 1004 holds of Jericho, A little bit of the Bubbly. A True Legend.

Jericho should be universal champion!!!

Always enjoy a Chris Jericho interview

This is why Jericho is one of the best people in the Wrestling Industry. His talent is Gold and a super intelligent guy, keep him around in the WWE as long as they can, even if it's a backstage role. His story-telling makes the product better.

Jericho should've won the rumble that year and Jericho Owens should've been the main event for the Universal Title. Brock and Goldberg didn't need a title for them to have a match, it could've literally just been Lesnar pissed he can't beat Goldberg so he starts attacking him and insulting his family until he shows back up.

I still cry every time I watch the festival of friendship

Just got his third book as the 1st 2 are simply amazing. The man is just oozing talent and deserves all the accolades he achieves

That night he put the New Day on the list was the first live show my girlfriend and I ever watched together. She was so sad when Kevin and Jericho broke up. Excellent work! =D

Its the interview of Jerichooo Drink it in Maaannnn

Chris Jericho: If i was in a Rock Band Fozzy: Wait What???

Why is it so addicting to hear Jericho talk?

Jericho has a great mind for the business. When i hear him talk about the creative team. Can't say the same for them... Sure they can write tv,but when it comes to building momentum and all that good stuff to make a feud more intense. OH Lord. Now i know why 9 times out of 10 there is no payoff at the end of a rivalry

The amount this man has given wrestling is just incredible. Shawn Michaels will always be my favorite and the GOAT in my opinion, but Jericho is right there. Not only because of his ability in the ring and the way he can legit control the crowd to what he wants, but his mind for the business is next level stuff.

I still remember the exact MOMENT, in Montreal, with Shawn Micheals, that I realized what Chris about to do and it was like "Evil Canadian" magic! For, like 18 years, they booed HBK for "screwing" the guy with the sunglasses- NOT Macho Man, but Jerry-Curl Jake or something to that effect... Anyway, I realized, and I sat just shaking my head and within a matter of moments (which is one more than you put in a loaded Jericho) not only had the crowd stopped booing Shawn, they were on their feet cheering for him! Legit! Sorry for the wall of text. It was amazing to witness. One of my favorite moments. Thanks for what you do, Chris.

BREAK THE WALLS DOWN !!!!!!!!!

Either Jericho is the greatest of all time or social media let's us close enough and gives us enough info to say that he is better than the greats. Either way... that man is great.

He has IT!!

Why are people giving HHH a hard time in the comments? He is a genius in his own right, I mean KO would not be in the WWE without him and I very much doubt he would have had such a great debut without him. Also all of NXT. It's just, this time, he was wrong. People are wrong all the time

True, but a lot of people that watch WWE do not know those names. HHH and NXT make people notice those names that they may not have known before, and builds them up. WWE fans love Ember Moon, but do those same fans know the name Athena? I didn't. She is the perfect example of what NXT does. It takes someone with amazing in ring talent, and gives them a connection to WWE fans that didn't know of them before. I wouldn't say he creates. He IS a talent scout, that is what he is. That is what I alluded to with the KO being in WWE comment. Regardless of how he sees himself his work is good for the product.

Love the List.

Chris Jericho really is the Goat. He was able to shine through in the attitude Era with literally the hottest card ever. Now their mostly gone he can get IT over. At the time he wasn't one of my favorite but now when I go through my old vids I see so many of the best feuds involved him. Even the Rock improved with Jericho. WWF/WWE on and odd has been a big part of my entertainment since 87. As well as he's done I think along with Christian they're two of the most underated stars. JERICHO YOUR THE GUY. Jericho, Lesnar, Styles, Balor, Stroman, Rains, Nakamura and Owens. A 32 man tournament that goes down to these 8. Who have a one night king of the ring style tournament to crown the unified champion which Jericho wins both echoing his great night where he beat Rock and Austin in one night. But also getting rid of separate cards which robs us of great matches and keeps the feuds repetitive. Let everyone fight, then u wouldn't of lost great talent like Nevil and Aries. Imagine Lesnar VS Nakamura or Nevil VS AJ Styles and a real show Wyatt family VS Balor club VS New day VS Shield. Who is the master faction? Or shove in Miz and Mizderage just because Miz is awesome, Bring back Evolution and add Tytus world wide and create one with Woken Matt Hardy, Brother Nero and Matt can recruit his Sentient warrior from the multiverse Brawn Stroman Aka Morality, Team Deletion. Then u have an 8 team tournament for control of WWE. Which Team Deletion would win opening a crazy world where Matt faces the winner of the Unification tournament Jericho and becomes master of the multiverse. I apologize gotta stop smoking.

Awesome 👏

The damn painting.. i laughed so hard! hahahahahahah

😂dude he is absolutely right 100 percent a legend working at his best and him knowing where this story was gonna go you have to give this guy the respect he absolutely deserves........Y2J the definition of the goat of all time you can put rock,stone cold,hogan but you better put this mans name up there with cena edge and randy orton and jeff hardy this guy is really a goat!!!!!!

Jimmy Jacobs is also a genius, great humble guy

Chris Jericho knows how to get anything over.

Damn Jimmy Jacobs is a genius writer

Has anybody ever asked Chris Jericho why he never had a match with The Undertaker at Wrestlemania when the streak was still intact? I'm only asking because I think it would have been an excellent follow-up after WrestleMania 25 when Shawn Michaels face Undertaker. After all, Chris Jericho could have said to HBK the Raw after WrestleMania 25 he couldn't get it done because he is not the greatest of all time, referring to Chris Jericho. That would have started a feud between him and Shawn Michaels, proven to each other who is the greatest of all time, and then that leads to the Royal Rumble, which will be in San Antonio, Texas that will be the match that Chris Jericho retires Shawn Michaels. The Road to WrestleMania starts with Chris Jericho challenging The Undertaker at WrestleMania 26.

Loves the double vodka on the rocks 😭

Jimmy Jacobs rocks.

CJ = G.O.A.T.

Elias , KO , and Jericho as a heel faction would be amazing. The heat that they could have brought.

I think they got the idea for the list from the big bang theory Sheldon's list of mortal enemies

Jericho sits on a couch like me 😂😂

i pray at the feet of this man #jerichioisgoat

He could direct a great movie 😍🥺🔥

GOAT!!!

I feel like I’m watching Brad Pitt n Snatch listening to the interviewer.

Honestly, I think that while The List would have gotten over on its own, the New Day's reactions to being put on the list blew it up so much more quickly.

It was like the shield breakup ... the drama and nobody want it to happen so that's why it work .. Kevin Owen and the new day was more like you see it happen (him turning heel) but the Jericho and Owen was a good feud going into Wrestlemania

I was very upset that Jericho vs Owens wasn't the main event for the title. Their backs was hurting carrying the show towards WrestleMania.

The greatest of all time.

Could hear him talk wrestling forever..

What kind of set up is this where the interviewer sits on a high chair in front of the camera and the interviewee sits on a low couch furthest from the camera?
