| Here are some comments from the Y2J W-Five interview: -Chris's opinion on WWFE "Its a violent form of entertainment. Its wrestling, thats what it is. Its not Blues Clues or Barney. And if you get appalled by it then you shouldnt be watching it. -Stephanies opinion of Y2J - "Hes very good looking. The guys can relate to him as hes a regular sized guy and they think they can be him. It works well from a marketing standpoint." Vinces opinion of Y2J - "I dont know if anyone likes playing the bad guy as much as i do but Chris Jericho probably comes close" Chris also says hes lonely, being away from his wife and his parents, who are divorced in Manitoba. But its a sacrafice hes willing to make as he knows Jericho cant last forever. Jericho says hes a private guy and likes to spend as much time with his family when hes home. This year the WWF will hold over 350 live shows with Y2J being a part of them all!!!!! Its mentioned Y2J's mother was in an accident a few years ago and she is now a quadripelgic. Even with a busy schedule he always makes time to take part in fundraisers. Chris prays before every match. Jericho doesnt believe in religion but believes in God. He says he isnt going to stay in wrestling for another 10 or 15 years. When he feels the time is right for him he'll take a step back so he can be with his family. He has already planned his life after he finishes wrestling. He says he loves being a heel and hearing the chants and abuse from fans. There are clips shown of a 19year old Y2J at the Harts training camp were he met Edge. Credit: 3strandwrestling |
| MONTREAL- Less than 24 hours after losing the WWF Undisputed title Chris Jericho talked to WWF.com about Wrestlemania, his championship tenure and more. WWF.COM: What are ur thoughts on ur reign as 1st ever Undisputed Champion? Y2J: Im happy with it.Some things turned out good, some hings could have turned out better.But im proud of what i did as a heel champion and im looking forward to my 2nd reign as Undisputed Champion. WWF.COM: Can u talk about some of the baggae that comes with being WWF Champion? Y2J: Theres probably a little more pressure.Its the most important accolade or award that can be bestowed upon you.The guys lower on the card look up to you.You have to make sure you kick ass all the time and i think i did that.I think i did well. WWF.COM: Did you have any hesitation about dropping the title in Cnada? Y2J: None at all id lose in the backyard of my moms house if they set up a ring back there.The only thing that matters is putting on a great match and entertaining the fans. WWF.COM:How hard is it to do RAW the day after such a huge Wrestlemania? Y2J: Its very hard. For Wrestlemania we put so many months of planning and preparations. Tthe next day you just feel bunrt out. But we just have to get going again and get back in the swing of things. WWF.COM: Whats next for Chris Jericho? Y2J: Im going to continue to the best i can and use my experience as a wrestler to take it to the nest level. It was good to become the champ. In this industry it doesnt get any higher than that.Ive accomplished and attained every goal i wanted too.Im going to continue on the right path to set myself to become the Champion again. But im happy. If i retired tomorrow id still be happy. Its kind of like the Stanley Cup. You can win the championship once and never again for the rest of your life and be fine with it just because you had it that once. (c) WWE.com |
| LITTLE ROCK, Ark, October 20th - .............The rope broke when Chris Jericho jumped off it, attempting to spring backwards to the floor. It's the second time in recent memory that something like that has happened in a Y2J match. It also happened at Summerslam 2001 during his battle with Rhyno, which resulted in Jericho suffering a concussion. "The rope basically exploded," Jericho said of tonights match. "I could see particles flying around a minute later." So when Y2J did his Lionsault later in the match, he jumped off the top rope instead, the first time he'd done that in years, he said. "Thank God (the rope) didn't break when I was going for the Lionsault," he said. "I could have been hurt." The rope breaking, Jericho said, "hurt the match for a bit, but we were able to adapt and make the match even better. Now it's something we won't forget." (c) WWE.com |
