Chris Jericho Interview

Monday October 22, 2007
The other day I got the opportunity to talk to Chris Jericho. The questions I asked him were based upon the questions that my newsletter readers gave me. There was one question that received many requests that I didn't ask Chris because I knew the answer. I was asked many times why he was released or fired from WCW and the WWE. The fact is that his contracts expired and he chose not to renew them. The Ayatollah of Rock-n-Rolla was never fired by either company.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Tanisha Christie at Hachette Book Group for hooking me up with this interview. Of course, I would also like to thank Chris Jericho for taking his time to answer your questions and for his patience in dealing with a connection problem we had. Chris was a true gentleman despite our getting disconnected several times and at no point threatened to put me in any of his 1,004 holds.
