Chris Jericho was recently interviewed by Busted Open Radio on Sirius XM. During the interview, he spoke about how Vince McMahon feels about him competing for New Japan Wrestling for the second time.
Here is what Jericho had to say (quote below via Cageside Seats):
“I know the first match, Omega-Jericho, I called and told him about it and he was all for it. And then when I told him I was going to do more, nothing really negative, still very supportive. But I think now it’s maybe becoming a little bit of a slight not issue but, you know, I mean, it’s another company out there. I know for a fact that Vince takes every company very seriously. Chris Jericho is a very important part of the WWE and a very important part of what’s going on with New Japan right now, with all the subscriptions that are increasing with New Japan World and all of that sort of thing.
I still think everything’s cool but I feel if my involvement with New Japan continues I might get a call one of these days. Until then I still enjoy doing it because it is different. It is one of those things where Jericho basically just does what he wants because I’ve built up the reputation and built up that good will and credibility with fans and companies worldwide.”
