During a recent edition of Hot Ones, Old School WWF Legend Chris Jericho talked about trash talkers in wrestling, which fellow WWF Legend he didn’t like back in the day & more. Below are the highlights:
On the top trash-talkers in WWE:
“Obviously Rock has to be in there, Steve Austin was a great talker for sure. John Cena’s really good, but sometimes he gets a little bit immature…”
On pop-culture figures that would make a good heel in WWE:
“I loved Dwight Schrute in ‘The Office,’ just being a f***ing ass****… Not tough, but just that guy you’re just like ‘This guy’s just a jerk.’ That’s a great character for wrestling or anything. You have to fall into the character, become the character.”
On which fellow WWF Legend he didn’t like back in the day:
“Triple H. In 2002, we didn’t like each other. I think we were almost pitted against each other in a lot of ways. We had great chemistry, great matches…I just didn’t like him, he didn’t like me, and there was no falseness. Now I love him. Great guy.”
On the difference between wrestling USA vs. Japan:
“When you first go there, you’re like, ‘Do I suck? Why is there no reaction whatsoever?’…They’re respectfully watching because, to them, it’s a real craft.”
