4. Chris Jericho Says Some Wrestlers Are Afraid To Be True Heels
Former 9 time Intercontinental Champion Chris Jericho was recently interviewed on SiriusXM’s Conversations with Maria Menounos. Jericho noted during the interview that some of the wrestlers of the current era are afraid to be true heels. Below is what Jericho said:
“Everybody wants to have the merch. Everyone wants to have the t-shirts. I would always say, like Big Show was my tag team partner for a long time. We had a great, great partnership. And we were up against DX. And he was like, ‘we have got to do these Jeri-Show shirts.’ I’m like, ‘no, we’re not making shirts.’ He replied ,’what do you mean? We’re losing money.’ I said, ‘no, we’ll make more money as hated heels against DX in main events at pay-per-views and live events than we ever would selling t-shirts.’”

“If you’re going to be a heel, don’t be afraid to get booed and don’t be afraid of having people legitimately not like you. If you can do that, you can accomplish your goal.”
