Chris Jericho on his lack of a push in WWF

On this special episode of The Kurt Angle Show, the guys are joined by the "Demo God" himself, Chris Jericho! Topics include Chris "stealing" the Undisputed Championship, WrestleMania 2000, working with Shawn Michaels, Chris' latest WWE run, and much more! Kurt Angle is a 14-time professional wrestling world champion, with titles collected in WWE, TNA, and Japan. He is in both the WWE and TNA/Impact Hall of Fames, a two-time NCAA Division 1 National Champion, and has also won a gold medal in freestyle wrestling at the 1996 Summer Games with, as he likes to say, ‘a broken freaking neck.’ At every stop in his career, Angle has reached the top of the mountain, and now he’s taking his Three I’s; Intensity, Intelligence, and Integrity, to the podcast world as he joins host Conrad Thompson to take a look back at some of the matches, feuds and moments that turned an Olympic gold medalist into one of the greatest sports entertainers of all time. It’s True. It’s damn true

The crowd would explode everytime that countdown would start on the titantron..

I’m pretty sure mark Calaway & paul Levesque began their wrestling careers with the WCW

[@dualshock3462]

Jericho is wrong with the Undertaker, Taker was a WCW guy, just like Triple H. The only difference is that WCW at the time was not a threat on the level WCW was when Benoit and Jericho joined nor were Taker and Triple H on the level of Benoit and Jericho when they joined WWE.

[@061romell]

Exactly. Would you say Austin was am anomaly? He was somewhat known fron WCW and on less than a year got hot with the 3:16 promo Pullman segment and Bret hart match at survivor series 96.

@@061romell Austin got that gimmick more from ECW. In WCW he was known as the Ringmaster

[@corey2232]

@@manlykscorpa No, the Ringmaster was his WWF gimmick. He was "Stunning Steve Austin" in the WCW.

[@dualshock3462]

@@061romell Well, Austin came during a time when many established WWF wrestlers left for WCW so Vince couldn't afford to mess around with the WCW guys who joined his company. It's all about the timing. DDP for example would have a bigger chance to make it if he had joined WWF in 1992 or 1999.

First World Title Wins Angle 2000 - WWF Champion Jericho 2001 - WCW Champion Benoit 2004 - World Heavyweight Champion

Steve Austin had two years left after he returned the end of 2000

[@AD-ur1fk]

Triple h could of made Jericho a bigger star in 2000. I will never forget that pop when he beat triple h for the title

[@TheProphegy]

Yeah Young Jericho had it all. I think him and Edge would’ve made a nice duo. Jericho and Rock in those early days could have some great battles.

[@061romell]

@@TheProphegy him and rock did have great battles in 01-02 Jericho came pretty close on the mic as well.

[@omegaman6494]

HHH should've lost that last man standing match. Undertaker was my favourite wrestler but him beating Angle when he just won KOTR and was about to headline Summerslam was also mad.

[@Jhoncena22]

[@BlackenedLiam]

HHH lost to him in 2002 though, so he did put him over.

Kurt was better in ring than Chris and better on the mic than Benoit imo

It kills me to say this but I will: Chris Jericho used to be my hero and then I turned on him. Why? His wife was at the Insurrection and I believe he is a fake Christian. This stings a lot. Also, lately his idea of “pro wrestling” is an embarrassment.
