Legends never die, I applaud you and the fans in Toronto that night for making the match what it was. You guys were the show stealers that night. But in all due fairness, there was no way of knowing that the whole crowd was going to pop 200% like it did for Hogan. If the WWE was expecting that kind of crowd reaction for Hogan, then surely they would have put that match on last. Of course, hindsight is 20-20. But at the time, it only made sense that the World Heavyweight Championship would be the last match on the card.

Also he pay check too, he said he wasn't happy with it and talked to Jim ross about his case and jim ross passed on the message to Vince mcmahon and said, give him another check.

@usamazahid3882

Жыл бұрын

Exactly. How can anyone top the matches that people paid to see in both Shawn Michaels and the Undertaker, as well Triple H and Undertaker in those 4 WrestleMania matches, including the Rock's matches like the aforementioned Rock/Hogan match, the Rock/Austin trilogy, the Rock/Cena matches? He does have a good point.

In another interview, Chris said after the cut that promo with Taker he shat himself whenever he went passed Taker and apologized to him lmaoo

Pushing Jericho as the first undisputed champion was the right call. His heat was astronomical. The aftermath elevated his stock entirely, dude went from a midcarder to a worldwide top talent and looking back everything that happened was incredible for him. Can’t imagine what it would’ve been like had it been Triple H that was crowned, 2 other egos would’ve been hurt, and the storyline wouldn’t have been as memorable, e.g. Triple H vs Scott Steiner or Triple H vs Goldberg. Pushing HHH as the top heel that was over in most big matches was hard for awhile. Kurt and Y2J just fit the bill better.

Jericho by far one of the greatest of all time and deffo in my top 5 fav wrestlers

Jericho is such a great story teller. In and out of the ring.

The reign itself may not have been as great as it should've been but Jericho can still forever say he beat Stone Cold and The Rock in the same night to become THE FIRST Undisputed World Champion. Also always loved that Jericho was never afraid of Vince, respected his bosses wishes, but always bet on himself and that's why he's successful in everything he does. Jericho could've done Hollywood if he wanted to but instead started a successful rock band that he brought to a cruise where they had a wrestling event. VKM couldn't have even dreamt that up in his worse fever dream lol When Jericho retires he'll be forever in the GOAT conversation, and for me that's what he is. Because he wasn't exactly meant to be as popular as he is but with his constant reinventions and good ring ethic, he's one of the most beloved names in wrestling.

What I really admire about Y2J so much compared to most pro wrestlers in the business is that he's a real stand-up guy. Outside of the Undertaker, I can't really say the same for most other wrestlers in the business.

I was at that Wrestlemania with Rock Hogan, and Jericho is right. We were done after that match. I always forget what matches were even after that. And I was always a huge Jericho fan and I still forget that Jericho followed that match.

Fantastic interview

I totally remember being stoked seeing Jericho and Benoit before they hit the ring on two WWF top dawgs ! Because they were both two of my faves and I watched them for years in Japan and WCW and to see them maybe , just maybe beat them got me hyped !

I don't watch any current WWE programming, but love hearing about what happened behind the scenes in the good ole days

Company should have gotten more behind him and gave him more creative control. Guy really is brilliant; his AEW run is incredible. He's as interesting as the Rock on screen honestly but had a harder path to the top due to being undersized. I still would definitely put him in the top 10 overall just from workability standpoint. He could work with anybody and make it interesting.

Bro we need more of Jericho telling all Vince stories or more of him just doing his Vince impressions😂

I remember that Taker interview. It was terrible, then Jericho calls him boring. I was like thats true, and Jericho is shooting. That always stuck with me, it's crazy what you can pick up without knowing what's actually going on behind the scenes.

When Jericho finally gives the game up he will be remembered as the greatest of all time. He transcended generations, wrestled all over the world, and has been the top guy in every company. He's a legend.

1:03 hell yeah the Feud was real it was crazy as a fan back then I mean you know it was storylines but you know what company you like I remember being in school in WWF fans were shooting on WCW fans

To Vince McMahon's credit, at least he sat on Jericho's complaint and gave another 1/2 pie. But if Jericho was still considered new in WWF at that time, and there was still some sort of WWF vs ECW beef backstage, i can somewhat understand y Vince didn't want to pay Chris more. Maybe he was worried that the other WWF wrestlers might be offended if he gave Chris too much.

I watched that "main event" of wrestlemania 18 jericho vs triple h, the crowd was like dead and i didn't really react that much, it was only loud when triple h pedigree stephanie and triple h win! I was reacting to more to hulk hogan vs rock! I agree with jericho that the main event of wrestlemania should be the match we are looking forward to

Let's be fair once triple h started dating and then married Stephanie McMahon he was never going to have a bad payday. I completely agree with Jericho here it should of been 50/50. To be honest I whole business model still blows my mind they are independent contractors so self-employed but are very specifically contracted so technically not self-employed but don't get any of the benefits of being an employee. But then a American business practises are bizarre anyway like having to tip in restaurants so the staff can make a living wage plus no paid annual leave or sick leave.
