There’s a great interview up with Chris Jericho over at FightingSpiritMagazine.co.uk, where the former WWF Undisputed Champion talks about his return, his feud with JBL, why he didn’t wrestle with Ring of Honor during his hiatus, his changing style, the “Jericho Curse” and more.
An excerpt:
“There were a lot of rumours about who came up with that idea, but if other people had the idea then I never actually heard about it, because I came up with it one day when I was watching The Matrix and I thought, ‘That’s kind of neat.’ I pitched it to Vince and that was basically it. He said he loved it, and it was me and a guy called Adam Pannuci from the WWE production team that created all the vignettes for the ten weeks that we did it. The first vignette was, I think, 15 seconds long, and was supposed to contain all these clues, but it literally contained nothing. There were no clues put it in – it was basically a bunch of gibberish! It was the ‘Paul Is Dead’ of wrestling, like when people were finding all those clues in Beatles records to prove that Paul McCartney was dead and they knew nothing about it. I think that if people want to find things and want something bad enough, they’ll find things to back that up, and I think that’s what they did with this.”
