Speaker 1 (00:00):
Something that's been rumored for a bit, Chris Jericho potentially
returning to WWE, which sounds like it's probably happening, right, Yeah,
it really does, at.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
The rumors to be believed. It could happen as soon
as next Monday on RAW.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
By the way, just as it aside. You know, what
I thought was funny was when people were speculating that
he was the masked man, because there was no way
that guy is climbing that cage as quickly.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Yeah, Chris Jericho's bulbous ass getting up that cage.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
I had a very good laugh at people thinking it
was Jericho.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Yeah, yeah, in no way is Jericho getting up that
high for a curb stop.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
No, I mean, I mean just the I mean just
booking wise, Like, is that really how you would bring
back Chris Jericho?
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Like, I mean, I don't know, I could think of
worse ways.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
I mean, yeah, there's always worse ways.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
But you know, like I look, my opinion of Jericho
has soured over the years. I I said this to EAZYG.
I don't care. I mean, if he's coming back for
(01:19):
one last run, like a one year farewell tour, that
kind of seems to be how guys go out now cool. Yeah,
I'm fine with it.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
I'm intrigued.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Well, it's like if it's like to Mania to Mania
type thing or like yeah he retires that next year's
Mania or something like that.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Like like I but I'm sitting here and I'm like,
what are compelling matchups? Like who are guys that you're
gonna put Chris Jericho with that? You're like, oh man,
that's a never before seen yeah, uh, never before seen
kind of caveat.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Yeah, which is like it's weird because Jericho hasn't been
in w W for a while. But if you really
look at the big big guys in w W, e
like they've had matches with Jericho, Like and Jericho have
had a match. Roman and Jericho have had a match.
I assume Seth and Jericho have had a match. Like yeah,
(02:21):
So like we're really looking at like the younger guys
and then you have to you have to take you
have to pull names out of there, and he.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
Keep up with the younger guys because that was an
in a W I will say I saw him on
Instagram and he does look to be in phenomenal shape.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Now his chest is weird looking though, he's got that weird.
There's a term for it. I don't remember what it is, like, Yeah, no,
there's a there's a specific term for what happens to
your chest. These old these old guys who they don't
really it's like they have no chest to say the uh.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Kofi Kingston also has.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
A yes, yes he does. Yeah example, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
It's like, uh, it's like when guys get chopped for
so long, it's it's it's like eventually just turns like
into a dead area and your Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Yeah, Jericho looks very strange. She should wear US England
or something. His chest just uh Scott Steiner, uh like that?
Yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Well Steiner Steiner might have his due to certain enhancements.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Pharmaceutical enhancements.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Yeah no way, pump, come on.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
That, Austin. If you believe that's all natural, I have
a bridge over dry land to sell you. Yeah that
there is no way if you like. Look, I've I've
gained an appreciation for Scott Steiner, the older I've gotten sure,
(03:56):
But no, no, that is vile syringe meat ass.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Yeah oh yeah, and it's uh, I mean for Jericho,
like I assume, I assume if it doesn't happen on RAW.
The next likely place would be the Royal Rumble, I
would imagine.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Yeah, they like to do surprises at the Rumble. That
would be cool.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Yeah, I mean yeah, Like, I don't want to downplay
Jericho's return to WWE, because I feel like that would
that would be a moment, you know what I mean
definitely hearing hearing break the walls down one more time, Like,
I think that would be a really cool moment, but
it would be it would be the aftermath of that
(04:45):
moment is what I'm really interested in, And I just
don't I don't know what the aftermaths of that would
look like.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Yeah, I think it'll be interesting, though, I'm I'm I'm
excited for it.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Yeah, I mean I'll definitely, I'm definitely interested in it.
His I mean, his running, aw, it definitely got it
definitely got not great towards the end, but uh, you
would aw. I don't know if they're even at the
place they're at now without Chris Jericho. I mean, Chris
(05:18):
Jericho was definitely needed for the birth of a w.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
He gave them a form of legitimacy that they would
not have had. Yeah, but I also think that he
was a great detriment.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
I mean eventually, eventually he did, because it always felt like, oh, Jericho,
like Jericho has to do something, and like, aw, I
feel like now has outlived Chris Jericho, just as they've
outlived a lot of their first signings outside of like
the big names that they signed. It first, I agree,
(05:56):
and then it comes to a point where does has
WWE outlived outlived the need for Chris Jericho because.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Chris Jericho anymore?
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Yeah, because Chris jerichos later runs in WWE, he was
very part time. He would come back for a few
months and then disappear, come back for Mania, and it
would pretty much be a cycle. I don't know if
he would. I don't know if he's he wants to
do a full time schedule for WWE anymore. I could
see him doing a I can see him being full
(06:32):
time in the sense of how Punk is full time,
where he's around for a large chunk, disappears for a
few weeks and then and then he's pretty much like
engraved into the story, but he's not there every week.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
But yeah, I mean Jericho coming back, I think it
would definitely be a great moment.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
What happens after that though, like where you Go? Yeah, no,
I'm intrigued. I'm intrigued by it, but we'll see
