Chris Jericho Comments on Future of His Wrestling Career

Newsweek held a recent interview with Chris Jericho. One of the topics discussed included Jericho’s thoughts on the future of his wrestling career and potential retirement plans.

“I think a lot of times people always kind of want to put a bow on everything but it really doesn’t work that way. I think part of the reason I’ve had such longevity is that I go with the flow and I follow my heart. Did I ever expect to be 31 years on the job? I can’t say that I did, but I can’t say that I didn’t.

I don’t think when you’re 19, you really think about retirement. I never really said, ‘OK, I’m going to do it this long,’ and I still don’t. I don’t know how long I’m going to do the sport because I don’t think that way. When people ask, ‘How long are you going to do this?’ I say, ‘I don’t know. When I feel like I don’t want to do it anymore.’ I don’t feel that way right now.

There’s really no reason to stop for me because it’s fun for me to work with this whole new generation of stars that are growing into their own and helping them. I think when you kind of live in the now, it makes things a lot better, a lot more important and a lot more special in what you are doing. I think we’ve done a great job with that and we’ve really only just begun in a lot of ways. If I didn’t enjoy it and I didn’t have fun with it, I wouldn’t f**king do it.”

MJF Comments on Comparisons with WWE’s The Miz

A recent episode of the Throwing Down w/ Renee & Miesha podcast had MJF as the guest. One of the topics discussed included MJF’s thoughts on being constantly compared to WWE’s The Miz.

“You know, it’s so funny and I’ll be completely honest, I think Miz is a tremendous, tremendous, tremendous performer. Key word, ‘performer’… Yeah, and how can you not be [a fan of The Miz?] The guy is gold on the stick. In the ring, very solid too. I just think if I’m being completely fair here and it’s not me talking sh*t, it’s just factual. There are no holes in my game and that is not a jab at Miz. Miz is great, but he’s not me. Just like CM Punk isn’t me, just like Bryan Danielson isn’t me, just like Kenny Omega isn’t me. All of these guys are great but they’re all lacking in something. For the life of me Renee [Paquette], I’ve tried everything, I’ve studied my matches, my promos. There’s nothing I can’t do and it’s honestly disheartening sometimes because I’d like to get better but I can’t, you know? It’s like what’s even the point of trying anymore? It’s ridiculous.”
