It’s often been said that the best gimmicks are the ones that aren’t much of a stretch from the person’s actual personality.
Yes. Who you are dialed up to 10.
So what is Epic PMP gimmick lmfao
@@MrDeceptacon88 Epic Proportions isn’t a gimmick. My gimmick is Rob Noxious.
@@epicproportionsmediaproduc6697 obnoxious u mean?? Lol
@@MrDeceptacon88 that too. What’s it to you?
As a kid I hated Chris, now as a grown up I realize what a legend this guy is!
What?
He was such a good heel back in the Austin Rock day's.
You hating him as a kid is most likely because he is such an outstanding heel. It’s totally understandable and relatable :-)
Is job was to make you hate him than
He's a friend of my dads friend here in WPG. I got the chance to call him for like 15 minutes once, cool guy to talk to and chill with.
I'm no Vince fan these days, but I find this, and Chris' little anecdotes and insights, truly fascinating. Very honest and humble from Jericho.
Couldn’t agree more. I hate Vince’s booking these days but the guys had more good ideas then bad.
Met Christ Jericho in 1999. He came to my high school and he stayed till everyone was left. I stayed till the end and I was by the exit. Next thing I see is Chris Jericho come walking by himself toward me in the high school gym. I was about 14 and he was coming towards me and he put up his hand to give me a high five. I never forgot it. Such a great guy. This was a high school in the Bronx. He is an amazing talent and human being.
what was he doing there?
Well now we know why Jericho didnt see this as a big deal 😳
Always enjoy hearing Jericho and how candid he is! Legend!
U know who u wont Enjoy listening to
Goldberg
this aged well
3:40 that's a really interesting, candid moment from Vince
This interview is Vincent Kennedy McMahon, in a nutshell
He is the force, and the folly. He wins big, and he loses big.
He is up there to hit home runs, or strikeout, but he always shows up, and is not afraid of the outcome.
The world needs guys like that. He has the vision, and you make it reality. It's a good system.
100% Imagine how boring life would be without these types. The world def. needs guys like him.
Jericho is a genuine dude. One of the nicest people I've ever had the chance to meet.
lol genuine dude 😂 the guy who latches on to any up and coming wrestler just to benefit himself.
@@stevenrowcliffe6917 Do you think wrestling promos are real? Do you think Eddie Kingston actually doesn’t like Jericho and isn’t just setting up money rivalries for himself? Lol Young talent benefits from associating with and getting television time from working with Chris not the other way around
Yeah he was sound. Commented on my gf's dress twice about an hour apart. But I could understand that because her tits were basically out wearing it.
Is Larry really like that
@@stevenrowcliffe6917 Mutually beneficial
Yo I'm a fan Hailing from Los Angeles CA you got love out here!!! Your awesome brother and a inspiration I look forward to more of your content in the future. Stay With Love my Brother.
Jk he cool
also in LA
If I as a fan have heard stories for years, Jericho HAD to know this is something Vince does. He's not wrong in saying that nothing is likely gonna happen. He removed himself from the marquee, but is still directing everything behind the scenes still.
Chris gots a nda too
is anyone really surprised? WWE is vince's little world where he does what he wants. surrounded by 20yr old fit hotties who all want to make it in his company, why wouldn't he think he could do what he wants? Is it unethical and wrong? fuck yes! but is anyone actually surprised?
If you were a true fan, you’d know that Chris wasn’t that close to Vince at all. It was Jerry Briscoe, Pat Patterson, Jim Ross (talent relation back then), and Michael Hayes that was close to him.
@@anon7596 As long as he didn't use company money as the "hush" money, there is nothing wrong with what he did, besides morally, and morals are subjective. For all you know Linda knew about it and didn't care and the "hush" money wasn't to hide it from her, it was so it wouldn't be public.
@@njad3 Yeah, Y2J is lying about being close to Vince, that's it lol. Michael Hayes and Ross isn't and wasn't closer to Vince than people like Taker and HBK. "True wrestling fan" lmao suure. Ross was Vince's jester, he'd always make fun of him.
This was recorded like 1-2 weeks ago. So much has come out since this interview. Jericho said that Vince never held anyone back based on not wanting to have sex with him and we literally just heard yesterday that's exactly what happened 😅
Yeah and based on what? Look at the stars he pushed. So you're saying that AJ Lee sucked him off whilst she was in a relationship with punk? It's Johnny depp and amber heard again.
Facts!!!
This is why we wait until the investigation is over before we speak, just my opinion 🤷♂️
Jericho also said he may be wrong in a year. I say Jericho is wrong but also correct on the prediction that nothing will happened from it. Vince is Leo “I ain’t f’n leavin!”
I told you Andrew Yang was coming back. ON that Yang interview in 20/20 he said they were going after Vinny. He said , ' oh we got a long list of names that are going to speak out against him.. it's bad , its bad' . All these Cornette fans thought it was talk. they are removing Vince from the E, either Disney buys them out and end of year or Nick Khan and the Rock (Dani Garcia) Bid to become majority shareholders.
This is why HHH and Steph are leaving, they are going to start a new mcmahon helmsely promotion inn 2024 or seomthing bringing back all the nxt guys. This why WWE was easily letting go of talent in 2021 and letting them go to aew w/ push back like they did in 2019.
I'm going to guess Cody Rhodes and Jeff Jarett will also be managing it.
WWE 2024 in a post vince wwe.
Disney / / Rock & Nick Khan- Owners
Cody Rhodes & Jeff Jarett - VP's
In the end, Chris Jericho's opinion on sexual assault allegations probably won't age well. 2024 will tell us
This has to be one of the fastest "aged poorly" takes, given the news this week of the three other NDAs
Which is morally wrong but completely legal
@@H-MAN-yn3ok not what’s in the other 3 NDA’s my friend. This isn’t to say that there’ll be a criminal case being pushed against Vince, but what Chris said happened, is actually the exact opposite of what the board discovered in the new report
Especially when the new report he demoted a wrestler after she refused his sexual demands and released her end of the year so that Harvey Weinstein level
@@siontimmy1 She wasn't drawing
@@siontimmy1 maybe he demoted her back to what she should have been before he paid her extra... That's most likely the case
So proud of how far geordie has come, such an inspiration 👏👏
People who make these videos just don’t want to work for a living.
@@carter3369 I'm not a TG fan, but what the fuk you talking about Willis???
This is his job, be creative yourself and you wont have to sweat 9 to 5 daily and make bitter comments like you do.
Who even is this clown lmao
@@carter3369 yes that's the point...
Same for every other single RUclipsr out there making videos.
Get views, get monetised, quit your 9-5, make more videos, buy nice car, house, etc
Views drop later, who cares, you've got money and content stays up. If it's good it'll draw more 🤷
Chris is one of the GOATS in Professional Wrestling.
I love that Jericho doesnt give generic answers! I love HBK but i feel like his interview didnt really tell me anything i didnt already know! Whereas jerichos had a lot of great stuff
That line of Vince saying that he wishes he could get away sometimes was pretty strong. It's true that Vince is absolutely necessary and irreplaceable every single day to that company. He cannot get away. It reminds me of my own dad talking about how he wishes he could take a step back from his own companies at times and just can't because he knows (not think, but knows) that the company will suffer without him always being there. It is a really tough thing to run a company and most people nowadays really don't know that. Rubbing something as massive as the WWE, I couldn't even imagine.
its not that hard if you love doing it,you love challenges and you find enjoyment in being busy.
@@MarkanVaran7 "its not that hard" says the guy who's never ran a billion dollar company lol
@@cotopaximusic thats not the point, point is that when you love doing something, when you find enjoyment in being busy etc its easier not to blow your head off running a company. Not everyone is like that,not everyone have that mentality
well now he is away for good.
Jericho: “Is anything gonna happen out of this? I don’t think so”
A month later, Vince is forced to retire!
I could listen to Jericho all day big up the geordie for getting him on the show
4:56
I saw an interview with Vince Russo in 07-08 and he said something damn near similar. We need to give McMahon his flowers while he's alive.
Gotta love Jericho, he says it as it is
Jericho is a real interesting person I stopped watching wrestling years ago but anytime I come across him and watch an interview of him he comes off as a very deep and introspective person.
These clips are what I need I love Chris what a guy
I would hold off on the “nothing illegal happened.” If Vince used his personal money to pay the women involved, then that’s true enough. However, if he used company money that’s an entirely different story. WWE is a publicly traded company and therefore has a higher standard of reporting on this type of issues.
It's funny hearing him talk about the Evian bottle because he literally did something similar with "the List of Jericho".
Love hearing these nuggets of insider knowledge - especially from a guy like Jericho.
Think he was right about the McMahon scandal too. The only way he's fired is if the WWE board think keeping him around will lose them too many fans...and I would hazard a guess most don't care that much. He's the bad guy they like to boo anyway...this will just add to that.
0:42 This attitude is WHY Vince McMahon behaved in this manner for decades.
Being Professional doesn't include NDA's all over the gaff.
Jericho is loyal yet that doesn't mean justification of questionable behaviour of his former boss and likely someone that he feels a close bond with.
*Vince screwed Vince.
*For the WWF heads.
Chris is right about Vince adjusting and improving on the ideas presented, but that was a different time, where there were less restrictions and not have to worry about the shareholders and investors.
The best was about wrestling, storylines and people were able to be themselves.
Nowadays, everything is scripted, and promos are written well in advance and only a select few have their own material.
Also making it PG trying to relate to kids, is the wrong way to go about things.
Back in the 90s, we didn't have so many options to media, videogames, entertainment , so of course the viewership was up with ratings above 4 , and it was fun to watch back then and competition made it strive to get better, but after Vince took assets from WCW & ECW , they didn't have a big rival, so they played it safe and made it more about money .
I would disagree with the turning the idea into a great one with a slight adjustment… Chris wouldn’t have ever thought to suggest that because he was new to the promotion, didn’t know where on the card he would be and would essentially be asking the owner to give him air time and rub on the companies top baby face promo… Vince has the luxury of calling all the shots so whatever he wants goes and that’s why people believe he has the best ideas… I see this all the time in corporate business… the big boss has the best idea… it’s hardly ever true, it’s just that the higher level stakeholder is allowed to know more about the business so can use this as leverage over others to make it seem like he is more intelligent etc it’s definitely not always the case! I bet if you asked Chris when the countdown clock should end and you can literally pick any moment, he would have came up with something similar, my guess would be literally during a match with the two top wrestlers, after his promo baby face loses through distraction and this cements him as major heel… it isn’t rocket science at all🤷🏽♂️
It’s clear that this was filmed before the second story came out. I honestly don’t really agree with Chris here.
What's the 2nd story?
The man's a living wrestling god
I like how even though he's not with WWE anymore he has Vince on speed dial and if he ever texts Vince, he always replies back to him. Chris said since signing with AEW he still keeps In contact with Vince.
It sucks this is already old news. Would love to hear Jericho's thoughts a week after this was recorded.
Jericho is going to be very disappointed by this, and I don't think he's the only one
@@jaiganesh9551 What happened since then?!
@@siddharthrathi1107 eh?
Well said Chris. Can't get more honest than that. Love that he still deeply values the friendship between one another.
It was honest except for the fact that Vince did in fact fire a woman for not fucking him.
I think chris is right when he says, Vincr can make ideas great. He rarely created something out of his own that was great, but he upgraded a lot of stuff with his influence so much. If you think about it many guys claimed that they were unhappy with where they are and wanted to change something BUT came with a good idea to him. Jericho, Stone Cold, Macho man did that for other guys i think, HHH, Cena. He can upgrade but rarely create on his own
The walls of Jericho ..got me in too much trouble at school 🤣
I feel like this must of been taped a week or so ago. We just found out Vince did hold people back who refused his advances
yeah sounds like it was right after MITB
Vince is not that type of guy
@@senecaknowledge2274 yeah ok. do you know him personally?
@@senecaknowledge2274 how does Vince’s ass taste for kissing it so much? He’s shady. He’s corrupted and runs a shady business. He’s lost his way of booking as well. Get over it. He’s destroying his own company from the inside out. 😂
We didn’t find anything out. Everything is “alleged”. We don’t have proof yet.
You can’t just take someone unknown persons word as fact. That’s just dumb.
I was a huge Jericho fan in WCW. That Cruiserwieght division was STACKED. When he came to WWF I was wondering how the crowd would take him. He ended up being one of the few WCW guys to get himself over. I loved him as a heel, as a face etc. Now he is a bit lazy in AEW doing the hardcore stuff but he is always on point with the mic & the new character creations. Sadly he hasnt whipped those kids into shape but rather adapted to their style of mud show wrestling.
Chris is a marketing genius! As a wrestler as Fossie as interview.
This was awesome information btw! Great video!
I remember hating jericho because he would always betray cheat and beat my favourite wrestlers, only now do I love him and appreciate how great he played a heel that he could ever make me hate him, brilliant performer I always wanted s triple threat match between him (representing wcw)Rob vanne dam (representing ecw) and shawn michaels (representing wwe) y2j rvd hbk for the title
Jericho spares one aspect: Has Vince used company money?
For the raises, he used company money which is why hes in hot water.
Y2J is still one of, if not THE best wrestler acronym ever made. His intro coming out with the Y2J on the screen used to make me get goosebumps every time. A legend.
Better than RKO RVD HBK and HHH?
@@josiahboatengmyrie Maybe not better than RKO, since that's Randy's actual inititals.
It's nice to hear someone credit another with some praise, even though there is enough criticism to go around. We can say all the things we want when it comes to Vince McMahon but there's a reason why he has survived in this business for almost 40 years.
Chris Jericho is my all time favourite and always will be.
This is why people love Jericho. Great clip
Knowing what Vince is like, this being his “me-too” moment could have been waaaaaay worse
You mean forcing somebody to oral sex, which counts as rape is not so bad? WTF?
@@Spiessi92 he’s accused of paying off his mistresses not raping them
@@JohnSmith-fd4wi there have been new alligations that have been reported on in different sources. Here is one line about it.
"One woman, a former wrestler, said that McMahon “coerced her into giving him oral sex and then demoted her and, ultimately, declined to renew her contract in 2005 after she resisted further sexual encounters.” She agreed to a $7.5 million pact in ’18, per the report, when she and her lawyer approached the CEO, and, in return, she stayed silent about the incident."
Forcing somebody of trying to force somebody into oral sex is atleast sexual assault, if he would have succeded it would be rape.
@@Spiessi92 likely didnt happen. But 7.5 mil is nothing to a billionaire when a lie like that could cost 100s of millions.
@@mikephillips1043 Are you serious? You do not believe the victims of sexual assault, even when somebody paid millions of dollar to keep people quite? Did you learn nothing from the me too movement?
The way Chris spoke about how his characteristics were is just like the boss that made me want to do the best at becoming the best at my job.
Y2J MOFOS 🤪🤟🏼
When I was six years old I turned on the tv and saw pedro Morales vs iron mike McCord and the grand wizard I was hooked. Vince sr. And vince jr. I will always stand behind them I had alot of ups and downs. But wrestling was always there
Love this guy. Such loyalty
Chris Jericho is so cool. He knows the business like the back of his hand. He sums up Vince perfectly. Vince is a genius. Jericho debuting in 1999 sums up the creative kind of Vince McMahon. My favorite interview are Chris Jericho and Chris Van Vilet. The two Chris’!
Someone tell Chris that Vince used company money to pay off the women which means he took money from shareholders which will get him in trouble.
Every word he came out with showed us that the whole AEW vs WWE war is just in the head's of the fans.
For real. I wanna see a cross over🥴
Not wwe just aew fans
I mean WWE and Vince have been so good to Chris in his life. Its loyalty at the end of the day. Thats home.
Just like the WCW vs WWE wars.
Huh?
2:15 you were wrong, Chris lol.
I had the exact same mindset as him though before the other reports came out
My thoughts exactly, I didn’t think any of this was gonna do anything bad for Vince but than that one report where he coerced a former women’s wrestler into sexual acts and didn’t renew her contract when she didn’t want to continue it. That’s the only actual bad account from the ones reported. Because having an an affair and paying them to not share the affair isn’t illegal. But forcing someone to do sexual acts for a career push is probably illegal. Like blackmail.
But it likely isnt true. The dude is a billionaire and this chick comes at him 13yrs later. That lie could cost 100s of millions in losses for the company or just pay 7mil to stop the lie and no one knows and its nothing. Thats why actors and athletes get accused all the time you fuck them they claim rape you say consensual and people say believe all women. They didn't settle until me too was a thing. She was obviously fishing for money at that point. If it happened there would be police reports and tons of people would be like yeah she told me in 07 or something but nope. It was just shutting down a lie for less then it would have cost to fight if she did an interview. You cant believe anything without a MINIMUM of an arrest and you shouldnt believe either side until you seen the evidence in the court case first. Look at Depp and Heard everyone bought her story until everyone saw she was a sociopath in court.
Your studio is beautiful
Great interview
Vince is a legend took every great wrestler from everywhere and got then to wwf what I use to watch now wwe
Chris is just a great dude!!! One wrestler I would love to meet.
True geordie podacst has been on smoke this year. Best podcast around i have no doubts
About the "Vince is silent, don't jump in," I see Elon Musk do that in interviews too. He'll just hush, keep silent, think long about an answer, before he gives the answer.
Elon is one bump on the head from going full retard. Maybe not the best guy for comparison
I've always laughed at the imbeciles who say "Vince don't have it anymore" whether it's the Whatculture journalists that, have no other credibility other than being media journalists that kiss ass or talk trash based on what their reading, viewing audience prefer from them. They're literally skinny, never went to gym, eats unhealthy, and do the most disgusting thing which is criticizing the work of athletes that nearly die every single week to perform for the fucking paying audience.
And then you have smarks, the "fans" that jump on the ship with these disgusting, useless, shameless, bum ass journalists because they look and behave like 'em, and then call out Vince for being dumb or bad booker. And then credit all his great booking to the wrestlers "for making trash work with their talent, if only they had full 100% ultra creative freedom then we would be having attitude era level STARS".
Like, CM Punk, Jon Moxley, Bryan Danielson, Samoa Joe, all these so HYPED guys are on AEW where they apparently have the most creative freedom and production quality to execute their ideas, and what's happening? Who is racking in stadiums with millions of people? Huh?
You Morons. Fucking morons that cannot think independently, individually, and need some RUclipsr and bum ass journalists to comment on the hardwork, sweat, and blood of wrestlers and the entire crew.
Chris is an all around great guy!
A true inspiration of mines he legit has been a round for decades and has managed to stay relevant and reinvent himself in the past 2 decades and a realist definitely top 10 goat pro wrestlers of all time I dare anyone argue with me the man's resume speaks for itself
wouldn't be in most peoples top 10
@@jest3167 there's always somebody who disagrees with something.
Just because you don't like him don't mean he ain't good, overall top wrestlers is heavily based on their popularity so when you think about it he's got a bigger name then a great chunk of wrestlers out there so he definitely would be top ten for quite a lot of people.
@@izzydoesrandomthings2949 Can you highlight the part where I said I didn't like Jericho ?
@@izzydoesrandomthings2949 Jericho has never been the top guy so its easy for me to say he wouldn't be top 10
Austin , Hogan , Flair , Rock , Cena , Sting , Goldberg , Undertaker , HBK , Orton just based on popularity alone Jericho can't displace those guys
2:23 "In 6 months from now, I'll either be right or I'll be wrong."'
...Didn't even last 6 weeks before being proven undeniably wrong.
(if there wasn't any guilt, Vince would've stayed in charge...)
Great video
the water bottle moment showed you guys are the best podcast camerawork in the game!
There was always something odd about Jericho, same with matt hardy, these guys have like a strange cloud over their head. jericho is a creep and a politician
Damn Chris he said whatever about Vince McMahon it's genuinely true man he love him and respect as well that good to know
Fantastic to hear Chris give Vince credit for some great stuff he did on raw. as a owner Vince is great, he didnt kill anyone but like a lot of wrestlers we love to watch,as wrestlers they are great as people some aren't so great.feel sorry for Linda.go listen to Paul heymans comment about the wolverine, same great wrestler but terrible out side ring.
Very insightful. Thank you
Based on the recent article- Some of Jericho's comments didn't age well. Vince did hold back some women\let them go if they didn't "perform: for him.
Well to be fair he didn’t know that info at that time
@@collinsal1433 the reason he stepped down after the first revelation is because it was known that a load more stuff was going to come out. The board said that there were other NDAs to investigate. Jericho should have got the hint like the rest of us that Vince had been doing a lot worse than just 'an affair'
@@collinsal1433 Vince did favors, but holding to fire.. ?? not sure. Jericho still would have known about.
SABLE, Melina, Candice Michelle
Or maybe they weren’t any good to begin so might as well use em for something else. It’s sex, once you grow up you won’t be as scared of it.
@@UFCWWE69 "might as well use em.for something else"? 😮😮😮
I can see two sides to this story.
1) It's not illegal, there was a mutual NDA signed by both parties to not speak about the event.
2) It's an abuse of power, while not illegal it still could violate the company's bylaws and the board could suggest resignation. Of course, if the supreme boss of a company shows he's into you, you don't say no and turn down advances. You can get fired, demoted, or you could take a pay cut if you did so. These are all very real considerations. Even if your boss wants to go out for an innocent lunch, you don't say no, or at least 90% of people wouldn't say no. However, this wasn't lunch, it was an affair from a boss to an employee with a very real power dynamic at play.
It's not like Vince did anything horrifying or violent or blatantly illegal. But, abuse of power, especially when divulged to the public, is a real problem. That's why Vince stepped down temporarily, because he realizes this isn't just a small thing. We'll see what happens.
So to be fair, let’s just say he’s just a human being with flaw. From everyone that talked about him bad or good, all i hear is a Professional. He puts the company above himself. Even though it took his other value.
Love how Jericho is loyal to Vince. Even during his time of trail and tribulations he puts him over. 💯
Jericho has a lot of respect for Vince. I knew he wouldn’t bury him. Top class.
Chris is so smart man, he always finds the right words.
since ia am kid im always had love to jericho my favorites wrestler an i see the match the night 2 matches 1 vs the rock and they other against stone cold he beat both i knew i that moment he was legend even before in its run to wcw njpw no cap!!!
You just made the list!!
this was clearly recorded before the recent wallstreet journal thing lmao
Vince doesn't want yes men but yet he employs Bruce Pritchard
Chris Jericho always so well spoken and giving solid answers, he’s the man 👏
Yeah Chris is amazing in and out of the ring.
Except his answers don't matter anymore with the new allegations.
@@MrFoolD Did he know? Exactly
@@MrFoolD
It doesn't matter he's opinion will still stay the same vince did nothing illegal they all signed NDA's
The podcast was one of the best
Vince McMahon you made the list 😂
Wow that gimmick is old lol.
2:22 No Need to wait Fozzy, here’s a quote from Heyman “this is a spoiler” - he won’t be back. I think Chris truly doesn’t understand how much cancel culture has elevated throughout the last few years. Admire his loyalty to Vince though.
Vince is like a father figure to Chris
This would have been a different answer if this was taped after Friday.
I was a dumb kid when Jericho was The Lionheart. Everyone hated him, but he was the only reason I even watched wcw. He made me a fan of the company
Everything Jericho is talking about however is from 1999 lol he literally left because Vince put him second on the WM card with maybe the best story going like it didn’t matter.
Chris Jericho is a gift to the world
Uh…it might be illegal if he funneled the payoffs through the company.
That part 💯
Jericho could run for public office... Absolutely brilliant response. He answered the question directly and gave a story that was so unbelievably good you forgot the question.
Dude literally.
Chris Jericho is such a straight shooter. He's cool as a cucumber. I love his demeanor and how relaxed he is. He just made "the list".
Growing up my friend Sean was bigger than everyone else and use to walls of Jericho everyone. Would love to see someone whip it out in the ufc for a sub
When he said about texting vince and he would get a reply…… how on earth did nobody say ‘go on then’ lol
Great insight from Y2J, love it!
Chris is 1 of th most durable & entertaining wrestlers ever🍻
Whatever he said about Vince in this 7 min video he did what is real truth about him i like it the way the Jericho is the legend
Well said!
Absolutely my favourite wrestler of all time
Can't tell if he's unaware of the full allegations, or if he wants to defend his friend and brush this off as "immoral but legal." I'll always love Jericho but yikes.
not really been following the story but just had a quick look and, indeed, Yikes
This was recorded before the full set of allegations came out, like 1-2 weeks before
