Chris Jericho spoke about the current state of TNA in a recent interview with Live Audio Wrestling (LAW). He advocated a shake-up of the company’s management structure. Recent reports have indeed suggested that cost-cutting measures in TNA will not affect the talent roster but instead tackle other areas of the company.
“They have all the right talent; they’re just having growing pains. I think they just need to make a couple more front office moves.”
Jericho also lamented the way in which the recent ‘Monday Night War’ played out between TNA Impact and WWE Raw.
“It’s too bad it didn’t work out on Monday nights, but it’s such a machine and you can’t compete with WWE in this day and age. Things have changed from 15 years ago and I think all those guys are figuring that out. They should take Thursday night, make it their night, and create a niche for themselves and do something different from what it is that we’re doing. You can’t compete with us. We’ll never lose.”
Jericho also commented about his own work in WWE and how he has achieved his longevity.
“Nobody will ever steal my spot because I do what I do very uniquely. Whether I’m on first or whether I’m in the main event, it doesn’t matter to me. If I get five minutes of TV time, watch out because I’m going to take advantage of it. I can’t control the booking; I have no power over that. All I can control is the time that I’m given and the storyline that I’m given to do the best possible job with it.”
