Jericho says that there are WWE talents who can not wait to have their own version of the Moxley podcast

"It's something that, if you work in the WWE, you know it's true," said Jericho. "That's part of Vince McMahon's genius, that's what he thinks, sometimes you disagree, sometimes you do not, you heard about it on Moxley's podcast." For Vince, you have to do things the way it is … I think people can understand how complex these ideas and thoughts are, many of them are awesome, weird, weird. But it's up to you to do your best and make the most of what you've got, like Moxley did. "

Moxley's main complaint was that WWE wanted him to recite lines textually, while he wanted more freedom in his promos. Moxley said he now wanted to prove that the creative process of the WWE "was nil" and "killed society".

Jericho said that he thought Moxley had made the right choice when leaving the WWE: he did not leave, did not resign, nor asked for a release. He waited until his contract was signed and left for AEW, with the added attraction of dates with plusNJPW and a variety of independent promotions.

"You finish your job, you finish, you do what they want, you indicate who should be knocked down and you move on to the next territory," Jericho said. "It's the best way to do business. You do not withdraw, you do not ask for your release. You do not stop. You finish the work you were under contract and you had to do as a professional. That's what Moxley did and he seems very happy right now. I hope that it is a source of inspiration for the other talents of the sector. "

Jericho left WWE in 2017 to focus more on his Fozzy rock band. He had the chance to play a game against the Kenny Omega in January 2018 during New Japan's Wrestle Kingdom 12 show at Tokyo Dome, so he took the opportunity to enjoy the world of wrestling outside the WWE. he declared. Jericho has played three more games in NJPW since, including another big Tokyo Dome match against Tetsuya Naito in January at Wrestle Kingdom 13. He even won the IWGP Intercontinental title last year.

The key for Jericho, who made it clear that he had never originally intended to work anywhere other than in the WWE at this stage of his career, was his communication with McMahon all the way through. its decision-making process. He did not burn bridges. Jericho said that he had even kept McMahon informed before signing with AEW earlier this year and that he never went out of his way to blow up the WWE at its release.

"I never had to do it because I had great relations with WWE and with Vince," Jericho said. "I've also spent 19 years there, including 10 as a senior and legitimist senior performer, who had Vince's confidence to at least try different things." he did not use much, but at least I knew the story and he knew where I was from and vice versa.

"Vince knew about it [AEW] All the time. I did not just come to AEW and say, "I'm here, guys. We had a conversation, we discussed it and we agreed. He was happy for me to have accepted the contract and I was happy to take it, "Jericho continued. I wonder, in retrospect, when he realizes how much AEW is going to be a giant. And that was triggered by Jericho's signature. So it's something he could think differently now. But at that time, he was very happy for me and very nice to be able to try his luck. "

CM Punk is an important wrestler who has left WWE in a different way. He left in extremely negative conditions. AEW President, Tony Khan, said after Double or Nothing has drawn up a list of potential members of the roster before the game's launch. He got the essentials of his wishes – punk being a exception.
