• WWF Legend Says He Doesn’t Do Things For Money Anymore
During a recent interview with Milwaukee Magazine, Old School WWF Legend Chris Jericho spoke on why he thinks it’s good for him not to be under a full-time WWE contract.
Below is what Jericho said:
“I don’t do things for money anymore. I do it because I like to do it. It’s a good place, man, to do whatever I want to do and to enjoy all these different projects and make sure that fans can continue to get a lot of excitement out of what I do. It’s very important for me to make sure people can never pin down what Jericho is going to do next.”
