Chris Jericho Off the Record 2002 3/3

[@Constantine1222]

LOL jericho totally took over

[@TopDog69]

God I love listening to Jericho, so honest and just unbelievably interesting.

[@ancestron]

awesome interview thanks for posting. I love chris jericho interviews because he gives it to you straight. He is a wrestling fan as much as he is a superstar.

[@montez1016]

Lol, funny how Jericho & the interviewer were arguing.

[@CT-8024]

Chris is one, if not the, best heel's of all time. And when he spoke of living in a fantasy world if you dont seperate real life from wrestling life, warrior and hulk come to mind. cause those two are both nutters

[@smileswg]

"Actually, I am not interested in that..." LMAO! And he was right. Jericho and the Rock did amazing work together

[@CookDesigns]

I've always preferred the long haired, smartass, having fun Jericho

[@Smido83]

I love Y2J! One of the best Entertainer and Micworker in WWE History! On and off the record! Smart, funny, quick on the trigger... as face or as heel and like u can see here in real live too! And of course one of the best worker as well! I love to see him week for week... he makes the current WWE better!

[@sportsguy91]

jericho is the best, his prediction for the main eventers was all correct with exception of christian who will hopefully get the push when he returns. His interviews are more entertaining than half the current rosters matches.

[@Friedcrust]

Love watching this in 2021

[@MinimiMax]

I love the laugh after he said "No, what was a shoot."

[@TheShadowBrigade]

Every midcarder he mentioned became a World Champion in the WWE.... talk about foresight....

[@Ezr1987]

When he says that, that smirk on his face cracks me up. "I'd love to beat his ass in the WWF"

[@Ezr1987]

Jericho is so great lol

[@svendeddy3]

When he says hes the only one that can keep up with the rock verbally.. SO true!!!! those two are amazing cutting promos together

[@TotalKO1]

Jericho was correct on every current mid-carder becoming a main eventer in 3 years.

[@marocel]

Awesome interview.

[@y2jfanlill]

Chris has it all right ' I love to hear is interviews.

[@DarkEliteEric]

i love the tension in this segment

[@TheJosephPrice]

Booker T became World Champion shortly after winning the King of The Ring and was the top guy on the Smackdown brand in late 2006.

[@JBC02]

Y2J was on point ... edge was on his way to main event status in 2005, christian was super over and was main event status in 2005 , booker t and rvd became main eventers in 2006

[@DarkEliteEric]

holy crap jericho's guesses were fantastic everyone of those guys became maineventers within 3 years or so, Christian started having matches and feuds with Cena and Batista and those guys before he left to win the TNA title in 2005 so I'd count him. Damn he knows his stuff. id hang out with him in vegas

[@EAchankre]

Love it when Jericho says he's not interested in Landsberg's website.

[@getodachoppa1]

It's amazing how normal these guys are when they're being themselves. Great guy.

[@aaronleperspicace1704]

Host got owned by the GOAT Y2J

[@cooldancerdude95]

Jericho was right about Rock/Hogan. It turned out to be a really good match. Jericho playing host was hilarious. lol

[@AuslanderAish]

Fucking fantastic Jericho and Lansberg. What a legend Y2J. Favourited.

[@mothercanuckers2202]

Over time Goldberg's legend has diminished especially after Mania XX but at the time of 1998-2003 he was a huge phenomenon. I'm not convinced however that Jericho has reached greater heights than Goldberg he was misused far too much from Wrestlemania X8 until he left to tour with his band in 2005 and I'm not really into him these past couple years but thats just me i guess.

[@icoelho16]

0:50...nice guess Jericho,very impressive.He proved that he know this business

[@keh678]

ohh ohh my god. I was laughing so hard at the end when Chris took Landsberg's job funny

[@SuperR1991]

i like wat jericho said bout new talent coming in

[@WitnessofTheHolyOne]

Right on the money on the second question

[@88smjls]

The Rock vs Hogan was a great match for icon vs icon.

[@bdot187um]

True, it ended up being a five star classic and easily stole the show.

[@nnydepp]

That is weird with Chris' mid card predictions. He named all future main event-ers.

[@dinkibass]

good call on the main eventers

[@TheJosephPrice]

Yep everyone he mentioned became the top guy at one time or another.

[@kallistobone]

Awesome

[@keh678]

Landsberg and Jericho are great.

[@23jordanAIRwalker]

@toxicbreath347 why was jericho being friends wit the hurricane ironic? i love jericho.. he seriousl is one of my favorites ever..EVER.. next to shawn, and perfect..wen jericho names his friends he calls out sum unexpected names but then again it made so much sense..im 27 so ive been watchin since mid 80's till 2001ish then i stopped and started back up 2009. so i missed alot but it was the wackest period..i am SOO glad to see this new super villian super heel ric flair-ish type jericho now.

[@mothercanuckers2202]

@shaun124cle Goldberg was a former NFL player he decided to go to pro wrestling and began at 31 he's 44 now he could have been wrestling if he wanted to wrestle but he doesn't want to it was his choice he didn't have to go to WWE in 2003 but he did it for the fans who wanted to see him and I respect him for that. He's on the show "Celebrity Apprentice" if you want to know what he's doing right now he's made enough money and doesn't feel as if he needs to be in constant pain all the time.

[@23jordanAIRwalker]

wow jericho owns lansberg wen he starts hostin the show, lansberg was trying hard to show chris he's the real jurnolist and host but jerichos sharp as a whip and fast at the draw, whitty and so arragant i love it...JERICHO STILL HASNT REACHED HIS FULL POTENTIAL in this video...the new jericho would completly dissolve this guy.. great suff

[@SdMahasuver]

Cena was actually a body builder before JR signed him intoedevelopmental deal from an indy scene.

[@daf4ever]

0:50 Chris predicting the future

[@Ezr1987]

LMAO Landsberg got pissed at that.

[@RoseMoon6]

has Dwayne Johnson been on this show??? if so is it up???

[@dr.lemonade242]

Jericho did a great job of ridiculing Landsberg.

[@mothercanuckers2202]

He said that because the Rock did his OTR interview in character so we didn't get to know Dwayne Johnson.

[@MacPr0xnxx0]

jericho is a tough guy don't let the package f00l you

[@PinkStarburst717]

They really plugged this guy's fuckin clothing company lol.

[@SuperR1991]

i wana see how chris jericho is like around his friends

[@Ezr1987]

Yup a year later Jericho got his wish.

[@Ezr1987]

LOL he said it was a shoot LOL damn!!! lol

[@23jordanAIRwalker]

@toxicbreath347 i rememebr that.. that was mid last year right 2009?? i had just started watching wwe again so i began also watchin ecw (well....atleaset it was called that..idk it wasnt the ecw i remember) and they were talkin about hurricane gettin arrested right? jericho was there too???? wow i love chris yo hes so fuckin ill wtf happened.. i bet chris was gettin harrassed by sum drunk tough guys and had to putt the walls ona fuckin crab.. lol

[@tdubb099]

Goldberg did like jericho said. And that was go out there and have some sort of connection with the audience

[@soeraa93]

Hell yeah!!!

[@EAchankre]

@xSyntheticEnigmax He interrupts them to keep them on their toes

[@Woxxwire92]

Chris Jericho Lithuanian ohhh yeeaaahhhhh !!

[@TheSeanlafferty1]

flooking at this jericho looks like hbk back in the day

[@rmathew2]

@sawrated18 Yeah its hard to describe why Edge is main event and Christian is not, thats just my opinion, but I do think he belongs in WWE and should have a decent run.

[@mothercanuckers2202]

@shaun124cle Then thats a fair argument I think that Y2J is obviously better in those aspects not just better than Goldberg but even anyone in wrestling right now I don't think anyone has a better combination of great in-ring talent and mic skills. If you said that then there would've been no problems :)

[@CaptSeriouspants]

2 people are Hulk Hogan fans.

[@barryobriengolf]

Landsberg got owned

[@bobolob]

I don't know about you guys but not I just wanna grab a bite at THE Keg Steakhouse & Bar!

[@shanaficarra6774]

Chris Jericho is and always be hot

[@mothercanuckers2202]

Do you mean "So Jericho never liked Goldberg"? I think you made a typo

[@rmathew2]

@sawrated18 Yeah I definitely agree, he wasnt given the right push by WWE to get him to main event. Yeah he is above mid card, in the mix for the world title but probably never going to win it at this point, unless you count that ECW belt run, which I dont.

[@kiddynamo41]

yeah and how now edge and christian have both moved up the ranks to where Edge is main eventing wrestlemania. He's still the rock to me lol who is this Dwayne?

[@sicdullboy]

He was right about Edge damn.

[@RedCancer]

@ 3:28....Landsberg should've showed the nitro footage from Canada when Jericho said "I'm glad I'm living in the US, because Canada sucks" Still love Jericho though.

[@Sampin19]

Jericho was Actaully wrong!! Hulk Hogan vs The Rock match was actually a great match, it was the main event that fell short, besides when people look back at Wrestlemania 18 they remember Hogan vs The Rock not Jericho vs HHH

[@ktowniecity7269]

he said smart marks would be surprised. you need to actually listen next time

[@rmathew2]

Edge - Yes, Booker T - Yes, RVD - Yes, Christian - No

[@Dragun92]

u got that right my brother GOLDBERG RULEZ!!! and DID u know ad proof of it wwe is trying to buy goldberg out lolz i just hope he doesnt accept i personally wanna see goldberg and hulk hogan reunited on T N A

[@Vas1984]

Jericho could do his job aye lol

[@Stauntxn]

jericho needs to sport the long hair and tights again

[@mothercanuckers2202]

@shaun124cle I don't understand the hate for Goldberg whether it be his character or the man himself. Goldberg was thrown out to the public without going through the bumps and bruises a guy like Jericho went through and that's Goldberg's fault? Seriously the "3 move" crap is all it is its crap you go out to entertain the crowd whether it be with a 10 minute match or one guy destroying a jobber with as you say 3 moves Goldberg's character was all Bischoff's idea and Goldberg ran with it.

[@mothercanuckers2202]

Your sayin this stuff about Goldberg but popularity in pro wrestling is the most important part. Goldberg's character was this unbeatable brute who destroyed people was it his fault he was so popular WWE couldn't pass him up? No pro wrestling is a popularity contest whether you like it or not and that is the way it has to be because wrestling is "scripted" unlike MMA where the best fighters are in competition with each other to win if you want to see the best fighters win fights watch MMA.

[@ComedianMarlonMac]

i think micheal startd getn mad lmao 5:47

[@TopDog69]

@wwetaylor Then Christian won the title twice when he came back tbf.

[@Dragun92]

heres the reason why goldberg is so great compared to to other wrestlers ppl loved goldberg even though he did the same thing over and over againt ppl hated goldberg and the entire wcw when goldberg lost. actually goldberg was about pure wrestling no fake personality bullcrap but he had character and charisma and even though his mic skills werent that good he was still acceptable. giant ego??? doesnt ego mean he has personality? not really wcw only failed coz of the finger poke of doom

[@nersestatintsyan5687]

Masonic Handshake at 7:27

[@ChaostheClown]

@AK231199 I agree, man. 100%

[@mothercanuckers2202]

Was Jake "the snake" Roberts a great worker? No not really but that didn't matter as long as the people can believe in your character. The moves the wrestlers pull are just an extension of the character. Is Sting terrific on the mic? Though he is one of the all time greats that wasn't and still isn't one of his strengths. During late 1996 and the entire year of 1997 did he say a word? But wasn't he the most popular wrestler around? Why? Because its not all black and white.

[@mothercanuckers2202]

Goldberg was entertaining those 3 move squash matches made way more impact on the fans than a couple of midcarders having an 8 minute match. Many people don't understand what is wrong with wrestling today and why its not as great as it used to be well its not the wrestling itself that is the problem its the entertainment aspect of it Go ahead and watch your Japanese wrestling and OVW so you can rank people's working ability it won't solve any problems with pro wrestling not being entertaining.

[@Dragun92]

troll yes it seems thats your mom. Goldberrg actually earned his streak i mean he wasnt a type of person who "paid his dues" but thats only coz he had no dues to pay.they hired goldberg just like thay wud hire anyone else but they saw goldbergs potential and wanted him to be the greatest superstar but the thing is that wcw did this in a very foolish way dont blame goldberg blame the writers for giving him 4-5 matches every night fans didnt really lose interest only the entrance was piped

[@mecr19]

@bobolob me too

[@Dragun92]

yeah goldberg was the greatest no one posed a threat to him coz nobody ownd ppl like he did he ownd every single one of those guys and bad booking is the reason goldbergs name got rusted up but still even so... GOLDBERG RULEZ

[@Dragun92]

GOLDBERG RULEZ!!!

[@TheShadowBrigade]

Its funny because he did

[@Dragun92]

nobody got as much publicity as goldberg and thats no lie ppl thought he was awesome and that time the cheers werent piped in he was awesome other superstars cant even compare bret was about to be finished anyway its partly brets fault for not being prepared

[@icoelho16]

7:00,This is not true anymore

[@Altezza447]

@wwetaylor christian in wwe

[@mothercanuckers2202]

@shaun124cle You actually think any casual fans care about Goldberg as you say not knowing "a wrist lock from a wrist watch"? All the people who filled the arenas and tuning in to Monday Nitro the day he took on Hogan for the World title they tuned in for a reason I guess Goldberg's terrible working ability tuned them in them huh? Barely anyone cared because the character was done so well. btw can't you clearly see Dragun92 is an idiot? Why would you even acknowledge his comment at all?

[@Dragun92]

well to be fair goldberg was never meant to talk at all. goldberg refused to lose to booked people??? then how come goldberg lost his legendary winning streak to nash???he wasnt an ass backstage he was a friendly guy everybody says so. he does "RULE" actually the death of wcw is coz of the death of goldbergs streak if the streak was there then wcw might have survived. what??? yes that is the basic concept of wrestling hate baddies love goodies. GOLDBERG RULEZ!!!

[@mothercanuckers2202]

@shaun124cle So you bash the other guy and talk him down like he's the worst entertainer ever and the worst thing in wrestling just to prove that point huh? You don't need to say "There are still goldberg fans who aren't in the special needs classes in elementary school?" because ask random people who watched wrestling back then they would say "Goldberg was THE MAN!" like my friends would and I assure you I'm not of special needs and clearly out of elementary school his character entertained.

[@y2jfanlill]

Jericho is better then Goldburg anyday.

[@vvEgiB]

Jericho is clearly not off the record

[@Dragun92]

the troll within me??? can i eat it??? not really u see goldberg sort of earned his streak wcw want that desperate for a mian eventer but still goldberg had the athletisizm of a GOD. fake chants??? theres a dispute about that and its only in his intro song and that is clearly not goldbergs fault. really 3 or four moves??? he does about only 5 or 6 but still its only coz his matches end quickly its stupid how they leveled up the streak so quickly they shud have done a decent booking

[@Dragun92]

no not really. actually thats just you GOLDBERG RULEZ!!!

[@xSyntheticEnigmax]

This interviewer ALWAYS interrupts his guests. Annoying

[@DELPHIIII]

Oh my god this stupid host started to shoot on Jericho in this. Taking offense to Jericho getting bored and messing with him. Wow. Jericho kept his cool too.

[@aaronleperspicace1704]

The host was a moron
