Chris Jericho Discusses Who He Used To Have Heat With, Top Trash Talkers In WWE
Chris Jericho appeared on the latest episode of Hot Ones. In the episode, Chris Jericho tackles some chicken wings with Sean Evans all while sharing some wrestling related stories, and even a few Bruce Willis anecdoes. New episodes of Hot Ones air Thursdays at 11 a.m. ET on First We Feast's YouTube channel.
We were sent these highlights from the interview, which you can also see a video of below:
The top trash-talkers in WWE:
"Obviously Rock has to be in there, Steve Austin was a great talker for sure. [John] Cena's really good, but sometimes he gets a little bit immature…"
Pop-culture figures that would make a good heel in WWE:
"I loved Dwight Schrute in 'The Office,' just being a f*cking assh*le… Not tough, but just that guy you're just like 'This guy's just a jerk.' That's a great character [for] wrestling or anything. You have to fall into the character, become the character."
His real WWE rivalries:
"Triple H. In 2002, we didn't like each other. I think we were almost pitted against each other in a lot of ways. We had great chemistry, great matches…I just didn't like him, he didn't like me, and there was no falseness. Now I love him. Great guy."
Wrestling in Japan vs. U.S.:
"When you first go there, you're like, 'Do I suck? Why is there no reaction whatsoever?'…They're respectfully watching because, to them, it's a real craft."
