Chris Jericho Was Not Happy With Impact Tonight

Former WWE Champion Chris Jericho issued the following critique to TNA Wrestling while viewing tonight's episode of iMPACT!. "After 10 yrs TNA talent still have an inferiority complex. If u don't think that u work for the BEST COMPANY EVER then nobody else will! As a performer u hav to act and project that where u work is the pinnacle of competition! If not then the whole place just seems second rate."

Jericho's remarks are likely in reference to Madison Rayne saying the following to Mickie James during an in-ring promo: "You were the top Female wrestler in the TOP female wrestling promotion."

According to your logic if not promoting Jerichos book means he's going to TNA, then we can expect Mic Foley in the WWE since his book was promoted.

I also don't see Jericho in his twilight years sacrificing the superstardom that he worked so hard to get to go to a 2nd rate promotion.

Yes Jericho likes enhancing talent and getting people better, but I also think he has too much pride and doesn't want to give off the washed up wrestler impression by joining TNA when he knows he has a guaranteed contract with the WWE. Even after his wrestling years he could be a great on air personality for the next 15 years

Jericho said recently on Wrestling Observer's radio show that he would never work in a ring that wasn't owned by Vince, unless he got his permission. He also said that Jericho keeps in touch with Vince more than most of the boys.

I thought Madison Rayne said to Mickie James that the reason Mickie came to TNA is becuase she wanted to wrestle the top female wrestlers in the top female wrestling promotion. Basically stating TNA had the top womens division out of all promotions and thats why Mickie came there.

Eric Bischoff said Jericho doesn't have what it takes to headline TNA.

Personally I believe Jericho is bitter towards anyone that "kept him down" in WCW.

I think thats what she said. Jericho must of misheard her.

No way, no how. He'll never be in TNA as long as Vince has an open door for him.

Odds on, Mick is done with TNA. What I've been hearing is that he has no interest in re-signing with TNA.

 

[Amber B]

Oh come on. If that isn't stretching it, I don't know what is.

Wouldn't you be? If I was in Jericho's position I wouldn't be bitter towards Bischoff but I wouldn't want to work with him in a company where the guy has some power.

Jericho going back to the WWE is about as much of a lock as the OP getting moron'd within the next months....

I could see Jericho going to TNA if he wanted to work less and still get a nice paycheck, but he can still go at a good rate....he'll be back in the E before Mania!

 

[septurum]

It's not happening. Jericho is WWE through and through.

 

[SHIRLEY]

Implying that WWE don't want Jericho.

 

[Chris_Walmer]

Does anybody find intriguing that WWE did not promote Chris Jericho's new book at all and yet WWE did talked a little bit about Mick Foley a couple of months ago?

Jericho's book isn't even officially out yet, though some people have gotten advanced copies.

Jericho said a few days ago on Wrestling Observer Radio that he will never again wrestle for any company other than WWE.

 

[Chris_Walmer]

Eric Bischoff said Jericho doesn't have what it takes to headline TNA.

Yeah, cuz he's under 50.

Please. Jericho is way better than Anderson, either Hardy, AJ Styles, or any of the other "talent" in TNA.

Yep - Jericho was never arrested for opium trafficking....

 

[Stevolution]

Jericho in TNA wouldn´t fit at all!
Because a) they already have so much talent that is being kept down due to the Immortal/Fortune/THEY storyline.

b) I personally wouldn´t want Jericho to return anywhere, because I feel like his prime is over!

and c) Jericho still has the option to return in WWE, so why join TNA? Better schedule yes, but pay-off? Never!

Plus I really have tzo agree on the fact that Jericho still seems to be pissed at Bischoff because of the old WCW days.


EDIT: Jericho never was a bad performer, but I feel like AJ Styles is a better wrestler. He´s still young and can get better, even though there´s not much to improve.

 

[JEFF.JARRETT]

Yeah but he got arrested for being a drunk.

 

[hisdudeness]

as much as i would like to see jericho in tna i don't see it happening. when he is done wrestling he will obviously still have a back stage job with wwe. tna has plenty of talent atm. if they had 2 2hr shows there might be room for him on the roster atm but not with only impact. there's a lot of talent that doesn't get on tv regularly as it is.

or it's because he doesnt want to join a terribly incompetent indy company
