One of the most surreal moments of WrestleMania weekend was Chris Jericho’s appearance on Steve Austin’s Broken Skull Sessions. However, things got even more interesting when Jericho said he feels like Vince McMahon sometimes.
During the interview, Jericho talked about being a leader in the locker room in AEW. In doing so he compared himself to The Undertaker and Vince McMahon. Here is the quote, courtesy of Fightful:
“Our first show was in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand and we sold it out. I had a team meeting with the roster and I said, ‘I want you guys to remember this moment because this is a historical moment in the business. No matter what happens, this is the first time in 20 years that there is an actual company that can sell out Las Vegas, that will do 150,000 buys on pay-per-view, with an actual television deal. Don’t take this for granted because it doesn’t happen every day and it’ll probably never happen again.’ I threw my pole in the sand.
Undertaker doesn’t say he’s the locker room leader. I never say that either, but if people have questions, ideas, or concerns, my door is getting knocked on all the time. I feel like Vince sometimes, there’s a line of people waiting to talk to me because I have the advice. Not only telling you what you want to hear, but also what you don’t want to hear. That’s my responsibility as well.”
Chris Jericho wrestled his final match for WWE in 2018 before signing with the launching All Elite Wrestling.
