Y2J talks about the pressures of being the champ and wrestling in matches with moves on-the-go compared to predetermined moves. I recorded this interview myself for the TH-cam audience it is no rip off
I agree..right now, Chris Jericho is the best. He is well-respected, hardworker, amazing wrestler, can make anyone look good, and is awesome on the mic.
I agree he is an intelligent interviewer...and I have a lot of respect for him as an interviewer..but he sometimes does interupt the interviewer sometimes and even get bias...but hey, he's SO MUCH better than Billy O'Reilly. He's someone I wish Y2J would give the codebreak to.
1. What does me not being as good of an interviewer as him have to do with anything? Do I care? No. 2. If he has a tight schedule then either ask less questions or ask questions that don't require a long answer.
@joeakalionheart He was born in winnipeg, and followed his dad around as he played NHL hockey. So where ever his dad played he probably moved. But he got his start in wresting in winnipeg and travelled around manitoba learning and then moved on to ontario tours. I watched a lot of his early shows on manitoba tv fighting in arenas... lol.
go watch the hogan vs rock match at WM or scsa vs the rock. you mean to tell me the crowd went biserck like that? man, please. The crowd never went THAT bonkers for Jericho all due respect. He is an accomplished wrestler. And when he left, I missed him. But he's not in the top 10 plain and simple! lol. He's appearing on all brands because he's marketable that way, and they probably booked him that way. but he's not making the most money right now, b/c he's not the reason ppl buy tickets man.
@joeakalionheart He was born in New York to Canadian parents because his father played hockey for the Rangers. He grew up in Winnipeg and trained in Calgary. He is very much Canadian.
It's funny how he interrupts them EVERY SINGLE interview. It's not that he does it every once in a while, it's all the damn time. It's not being hard-pressed for time, it's him liking to hear himself talk.
jericho will be sorely missed when he hangs up the boots - the man of 1004 holds is a class act in and outside of the ring - jerichos promos in wcw were gold especially his feud with dean malenko - y2j could almost make me piss my pants from laughing so hard. today jericho doesnt even have to say much to deliver a strong convincing promo - chris jericho you rock ass clown
Jericho needs the kinds of pushes that guys like Cena and Jeff Hardy are getting. Also, Chris, listen to me. You'll probably never see this, but if somehow you do, go back to pants. Just start wearing pants again.
Landsberg is a great interviewer, and he asks the tough questions that everyone wants to know the answers to....but I do have to agree that he frustrates me with how he interrupts guests quite often.
that's a legit top 10 right there. I'm a hardcore fan, so I'd hide to sneak in mick foley somewhere in there, but based off success you're top 10 is correct.
Jericho would never be undisputed champion if HHH wasnt injured, Thats the fact....Jericho has achieved what he has even with HHH burying him and thats a mean feat.
It wasn't Jericho's fault Savage vs Flair at WM 8 wasn't the main event either and it was for the WWF title. The Rock vs Hogan was more bigger than any match, and WM 8 Sid vs Hogan was the match that everyone wants to see.
Jericho vs Benoit was a better feud than Jericho vs HBK but thats my opinion I think Jericho was screwed over after his first Undisputed championship they didn't give him a good run at anything after that they put him at the top then HHH comes and brings him down and Jericho ends up losing to a debuing John Cena they messed up because of what happened from 2002 until 2005 he can't be one of the top 10 over: Hogan Flair SCSA The Rock Triple H Sting Undertaker Macho Man Bret Hart Shawn Michaels
Top ten Performers in WWE History right here: 1. Shawn Michaels 2. Ric Flair 3. Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat 4. Bret "The Hitman" Hart 5. Chris Jericho 6. Chris Benoit (R.I.P.) 7. Eddie Guerrerro 8. Mr Perfect 9. Kurt Angle 10. Tazz
@DETROIT2MILWAUKEE, Trust me he was talking about HHH, when Y2j first arrived and started getting to Austin/Rock status, HHH tryed to bury him with dumb feuds (remember Chyna?) then HHH buried him in there short feud, Jericho never even got a pin fall over HHH through out the whole run, HHH was just pissed because he never could reach Austin/Rock status without help and Jericho could.
You gotta be kidding me. He is not the best. He's just the well known because of his past success. The best would hands down be rey mysterio and taker. sterio still produces at a high level. and taker still put asses in seats every 18 inches.
too bad he refers himself as a Canadian even though he was born in USA...Ya! Canada. But either way, Y2J doesn't mind but I remember that he pefers calling Canadian - on his Twitters and during the 2002 hockey olymprics ( the one in WWE is all a cheap heat/scripted)
I respect your opinion, but I don't believe he's 10 top of all time. I believe he is top 10 in the attitude era. But of all time, no. He can't attract a stone vs rock type of crowd or even rock vs hogan. Or attract huge canadian crowd like bret hart can. I'll give him credit. Jericho is underrated in alot of aspects. Cena getting endorses over him. Thats bs. but at the end of the day, neither are top ten. Jericho>>>>cena though by a landslide. Carrying the wwe? jericho I don't see it.
Y2J and Big show tag team is horrendous. IT SUCKS. Not because of Y2J, but because of big show. He's so out of shape, he doesn't even make the matches entertaining. Jericho needs a new partner. Big show ain't intimidating as he used to be.
@OCcrazy1 k so if ur parents r from canada but go on vacation 2 new york and they have ur baby brother and then they go back 2 canada soon after and he grows up there the rest of his life hes not canadian?
@trishfan11 Calm down people have their own opinions don't be such a baby if someone else thinks Triple H is higher on the list. I don't think he is I just came up with a top 10 straight out of my head If your getting upset over something stupid like someone picking Triple H to be higher on a top 10 greatest wrestlers list than HBK and Bret Hart then good luck in the real world people have their own preferences
Well when a 20 year old kid has no comeback other than parroting Chris's "Junior." that kind of shows how much creativity you have. Chris needs to stay out of music and stick with wrestling. He does that best.....in music and his views on music are moronic, BUT as a wrestler and a man, I think he is very talented....just not at music. But hey, if you're into Fozzy and you enjoy his music, well, you need your head examined, but everyone is different. His musical side sucks, but I like him.
@wwerulestna Fozzy is terrible, they are a poor excuse for a band in my opinion, but everyone likes different bands, I just don't dig them. I LIKE Chris Jerico as a wrestler and as a wrestling entertainer. He's top notch. He just needs to stay out of metal, lol. Don't get pissed, its just my opinion. If you dig them, more power to ya. Just because I think they suck doesn't stop me from liking Chris as a wrestler.
I love watching Y2J in the ring and he's very good on the mic, but he's not the greatest Wrestler of all time. I have no problem watching him as the main event, but He's not even in the top 5 when you mention other top wrestlers of all time.
jericho is a future hall of famer
Lansberg never let the guests finish their statements without interrupting them
yeah its really annoying.
He grew up in Winnipeg, Manitoba and currently lives in Tampa, Florida but is proud of being Canadian that's good enough for me
Jericho has earned my respect.
I agree..right now, Chris Jericho is the best. He is well-respected, hardworker, amazing wrestler, can make anyone look good, and is awesome on the mic.
true true
iv been waiting 5-10 years for a serious chris jericho interview
he is one of my frav of all time always been a Jericho fan as a wrestler and character
Woah this interview was 11 years ago today.
22 years old today .crazy time passing by
thanks for the good quality
he's very candid in this interview, didn't expect that
Yeah they rebroadcasted it on ESPN Classic, but it originally aired on TSN, it's a Canadian show
@ege619 his parents are canadian, he was just born in the states
jericho needs 2 back 2 the main event at wrestlemania
@ege619 the only reason he was born in NY is because his dad played for the NY Rangers, he never really lived there
Jericho in 2002. Sometimes he was scary as hell but his 2002 heel run was much better than his current one.
This is something that should be shown to people who say wrestling is easy and scripted. Jericho explained the difficulty of it right there!
Dude is a humble guy
I saw, they're all good...crowds wants to kick his ass now, as they wanted to back in 2002...shows what an awesome job Y2J does as a heel
this guy is such a brilliant interviewer
I agree he is an intelligent interviewer...and I have a lot of respect for him as an interviewer..but he sometimes does interupt the interviewer sometimes and even get bias...but hey, he's SO MUCH better than Billy O'Reilly. He's someone I wish Y2J would give the codebreak to.
1. What does me not being as good of an interviewer as him have to do with anything? Do I care? No.
2. If he has a tight schedule then either ask less questions or ask questions that don't require a long answer.
maybe he was pissed off because he knew he would be dropping the belt to hhh a few days later and yj2 and hhh have never got on
Chris looks pretty big here.
and here is where the "best in the world" was born
@joeakalionheart He was born in winnipeg, and followed his dad around as he played NHL hockey. So where ever his dad played he probably moved. But he got his start in wresting in winnipeg and travelled around manitoba learning and then moved on to ontario tours. I watched a lot of his early shows on manitoba tv fighting in arenas... lol.
Lol love how Jericho poked fun at Landsberg's intro XD
-Don Rubix
The Flair story was awesome. That's probably why he's so well respected.
Jericho first coins the phrase "best in the world" here :)
It's TSN, the Canadian version of ESPN
go watch the hogan vs rock match at WM or scsa vs the rock. you mean to tell me the crowd went biserck like that? man, please. The crowd never went THAT bonkers for Jericho all due respect. He is an accomplished wrestler. And when he left, I missed him. But he's not in the top 10 plain and simple! lol.
He's appearing on all brands because he's marketable that way, and they probably booked him that way. but he's not making the most money right now, b/c he's not the reason ppl buy tickets man.
Chris is the greatest wrestler ever.Chris and BigShow rule 'I love that tag team.
Jericho is just too real for this business.
@joeakalionheart He was born in New York to Canadian parents because his father played hockey for the Rangers. He grew up in Winnipeg and trained in Calgary. He is very much Canadian.
It's funny how he interrupts them EVERY SINGLE interview. It's not that he does it every once in a while, it's all the damn time. It's not being hard-pressed for time, it's him liking to hear himself talk.
What Landsberg said about Jericho being at the top but after mania he could be back down is what exactly happened.
im sure that means alot to him
jericho will be sorely missed when he hangs up the boots - the man of 1004 holds is a class act in and outside of the ring -
jerichos promos in wcw were gold especially his feud with dean malenko - y2j could almost make me piss my pants from laughing so hard. today jericho doesnt even have to say much to deliver a strong convincing promo - chris jericho you rock ass clown
I hope this is not in order because putting Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels below Triple H is not right.
Chris Jericho music dosent suck
thanks a lot, this interview is great, you shold put a logo or something in your videos to stop some people from taking credit form u
Yes I am well aware!
Jericho needs the kinds of pushes that guys like Cena and Jeff Hardy are getting.
Also, Chris, listen to me. You'll probably never see this, but if somehow you do, go back to pants. Just start wearing pants again.
Landsberg is a great interviewer, and he asks the tough questions that everyone wants to know the answers to....but I do have to agree that he frustrates me with how he interrupts guests quite often.
he's the first unified champion in wwe history.....with the rock,stone cold,& i think triple h in the ring......cant deny that.
that's a legit top 10 right there. I'm a hardcore fan, so I'd hide to sneak in mick foley somewhere in there, but based off success you're top 10 is correct.
Jericho would never be undisputed champion if HHH wasnt injured, Thats the fact....Jericho has achieved what he has even with HHH burying him and thats a mean feat.
Is that a hint that your gonna upload it? Interesting.
It wasn't Jericho's fault Savage vs Flair at WM 8 wasn't the main event either and it was for the WWF title. The Rock vs Hogan was more bigger than any match, and WM 8 Sid vs Hogan was the match that everyone wants to see.
Jericho vs Benoit was a better feud than Jericho vs HBK but thats my opinion I think Jericho was screwed over after his first Undisputed championship they didn't give him a good run at anything after that they put him at the top then HHH comes and brings him down and Jericho ends up losing to a debuing John Cena they messed up because of what happened from 2002 until 2005 he can't be one of the top 10 over:
Hogan
Flair
SCSA
The Rock
Triple H
Sting
Undertaker
Macho Man
Bret Hart
Shawn Michaels
Was this before or after the dog storyline? Poor Jericho.

@DETROIT2MILWAUKEE, Trust me he was talking about HHH, when Y2j first arrived and started getting to Austin/Rock status, HHH tryed to bury him with dumb feuds (remember Chyna?) then HHH buried him in there short feud, Jericho never even got a pin fall over HHH through out the whole run, HHH was just pissed because he never could reach Austin/Rock status without help and Jericho could.
aboot
@RustySacks It doesn't seem to come on anymore
@OCcrazy1 i think he is still canadian but he also has an american citizenship
jericho> 2010 raw roster
You gotta be kidding me. He is not the best. He's just the well known because of his past success. The best would hands down be rey mysterio and taker.
sterio still produces at a high level. and taker still put asses in seats every 18 inches.
@snarlingrabiddog5150 Fozzy is great what the fuck are you talking about, their new album was the best I've heard this year.
was supposed to be Edge before he got hurt. Could have been a good run.
All the talk about the belt, these days nobody cares, they care about money and movie roles
too bad he refers himself as a Canadian even though he was born in USA...Ya! Canada. But either way, Y2J doesn't mind but I remember that he pefers calling Canadian - on his Twitters and during the 2002 hockey olymprics ( the one in WWE is all a cheap heat/scripted)
I respect your opinion, but I don't believe he's 10 top of all time. I believe he is top 10 in the attitude era.
But of all time, no.

No no look at the top right!
HHH screwed over Jericho at mania 18 and then again mania 19 with booker t
Landsberg or whatever is a d bag. Jericho's the man
@joeakalionheart Born in Canada and raised in New York? Its the other way around

@OCcrazy1 k so if ur parents r from canada but go on vacation 2 new york and they have ur baby brother and then they go back 2 canada soon after and he grows up there the rest of his life hes not canadian?
All the bugs try to put you down. Thats Triple H
@trishfan11
Calm down people have their own opinions don't be such a baby if someone else thinks Triple H is higher on the list. I don't think he is I just came up with a top 10 straight out of my head
