@Ad Max g%
Yes
An wheres fandango? Exactly
A
Jericho has zero problem getting in the face of Lesnar and Goldberg, but when Taker speaks he listens.
I think it's more of a respect thing. Even Brock backed off when Taker laid down the law. Doesnt matter if you can take taker in a fight, puffing your chest out at him is a good way to piss off the rest of the boys and probably killing your own career.
You respected Taker or you disrespected the business. Simple as that.
@@TheLegendaryFolklore you're right man. Taker is the epitome of doing business.
Respect
@Allen Wilson ironically Jericho beat up both brock and Goldberg once 😂
Jericho vs Wade Barrett for the IC title at mania 29 with Jericho trying to capture his 10th title would've been amazing
It would’ve made alot of sense. Jericho and Wade were working alot together. So the chemistry was obviously there.
Or him vs. Cesaro.
Winning another IC title wouldn't do anything for Jericho's career and doesn't hold as much value as putting a new guy over.
@@de4dman Fandango being put over didn't really do anything for his career considering anything after that victory WWE did nothing with him, so honestly knowing the outcome of him winning I would've much preferred the idea of Jericho going for his 10th intercontinental title reign
@@leonardodavince5505 That's not Jericho's fault that WWE didn't know what to do with Fandango. He did an exceptional job of making a star out of Fandango. Even if he wins the IC title 10 times more, what difference does it make? Look at R-Truth, he can win the 24/7 title 50 times, but that still can't be compared to one solid world title reign like McIntyre.
Bro Jericho could 100% do a stand up special of him talking for 3 hours & id buy it
Definitely
He's a comedic hack. He's only funny in a room full of giddy wrestling fans
@GOLDBOND vs BALLS who hurt you
@GOLDBOND vs BALLS your unnecessarily intense hatred for him doesn’t seem healthy.
yeah sorta how Kevin Smith does it, just tell funny and interesting stories.
"If you stick around too long, people go on looking for the next thing." - Chris Jericho
That's why he kept changing, he didn't wanna get stale
Which why I accept the rock and Austin retiring early....can you imagine Austin wrestling in 2008 and still being number one? Yeah me either
#RelationshipAdvice
Thats why they're always finding CM PUNK! CM PUNK!
"How can I even start missing you if you never leave?" - Jim Cornette
Of course Taker would say 'Do it'
He had to face guys like Heidenreich, Giant Gonzales etc and is still a legend.
Insignificant Aftermath How dare you? Heidenreich is a legend himself
You are only a true legend when you defeat eugene
He wrestled and allowed himself to get squashed by the Great Khali
Taker won them. Chris Jericho didnt
@@TheTriangle444 Winning a shit match is worse than losing a decent match.
Id lose to Fandango over beating Heidenreich.
4:27 = Nobody cares about THE INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP??? Well that explains ALOT about Vince McMahon,the midcard scene and lack of vision...
@GOLDBOND vs BALLS Dude Get Outta Here
Christian :*black guy crying noises...
Jericho vs. Wade at WM29 would've been awesome.
Yep
"Nobody cares about the fucking Intercontinental Championship!"
Yeah u can tell that's how Vince feels about it based on how irrelevant it feels nowadays.
Wait. It still exists? I don’t even know who the champion is lmao.
@@HEYitzED Apollo Crews
@@SjC420 Apollo? Crews? He's still wrestling?
@@fridaypanda2063 yeah but he just lost the Intercontinental title to Shinsuke Nakamura about a week or 2 ago.
I can't stand these comments the IC title has always been featured prominently in the last several years. So why do people think it means nothing????????
Chris jericho impression on vince made my day
Impression
@@markharger8435 thanks 😊
Anybody literally does a vince impersonation
People like Cody and Chris make me smile. More chris than cody. Even though they left WWE they still have some respect and they don't mind sharing light hearted stories from their careers.
No they don't they brag about the ratings every single chance they get and it gets annoying
@@rileykazama3145 nope
@@papiiluvz then why does it explain that covid has expose their weaknesses and their shitty product has deteriorated faster because it's all elite wrestling going to go out of business and every single idiot that sign there is going to be blacklisted from the business
@@rileykazama3145 I said 'nope' and you went on to rant about some unrelated shit 🤣 get a life dude
@@rileykazama3145 stfu
chris needs to do a stand up show about wrestling. he's hilarious!
He basically does when he does things like this lol But I agree, fulltime of this would be the shit
Someone invent a way to prevent people from dying and aging so we can always have Chris Jericho until the end of time
I thinking about how to do but i wanna do it for dogs first
@@Itz_CG fine dogs then Jericho
Thankfully, his stories will live forever 😭
I want this then have Taker, Jericho, Goldust, R-Truth and many more legends having it
be wary of what you wish for...
Lot respect for Jericho, telling stories where he's cleary being wrong and showing even the best in the business can learn deep into their careers. Absolute legend
Fandango as a heel was not a bad idea, like him being Mr. Steal Your Girl and talking to girls in the audience, that was cool, but they dropped the ball
Nice pun!
So angel garza is kinda like a heel version of fandango
Tbf they kind of had to turn him face when his song was being chanted for most of the show
agree ,he was so over too when those fanchants comes out ,dude got nice looks ,not so bad wrestling skills ,can pull some high flying spots , doesnt small we all know wwe like big dudes
but why no push? thats like really wasting all these momentums
Johnny Curtis character before Fandango was better actually. He played being himbo to the T in FCW
"Im from Winnipeg, you idiot" will forever be my favorite comeback 😂
In Jericho's defence, they pretty much only used him to get random dudes over. I don't recall him winning a single match in 2003
He beat Shawn Micheals on the Raw after Wrestlemania. I believe.
But in 2003 Jericho was fucking awesome with the mic. On of his most memorable years
Jericho was easily the best thing on Raw in 2003 during the Reign of Terror.
@@joshuaballenger7670 I should have mentioned that I was talking about PPVs.
@@lordtrigon1733 He was definitely still amazing that year despite and imo should have won the Royal Rumble in 2003. He gave a stellar performance in that match ! I can't believe that they just neglect some of their most talented superstars to boost someone like Brock, who had barely paid his dues his first few years in wrestling.
Undertaker moment always come off brilliantly.
Jericho should be a stand up comedian; I could listen to him tell hilarious wrestling stories for days! 🤣🤣🤣
That was one of the coldest crowd reactions to Ryback I ever heard lol
Jericho is undoubtedly one of the most entertaining and well rounded performers in the history of not only the WWE...but wrestling period. And what’s even more incredible to me is that the older this guy gets, the more depth he adds to his overall presentation. He’s proved for 30 years now that he is a true a master of reinvention. Much love & respect to Chris for everything he’s contributed to the business...past, present, & hopefully future. ✊🏼
You can tell he's an honest guy because he just spent 10 minutes making himself look like an asshole lol
Chris Jericho,absolute professional,and incredible worker! Mad respect for the guy! His ENTIRE career he's had the ability to entertain me w his charisma and personality, absolutely loathe his heel persona while completely respecting his in ring abilities... Haven't even touched on his career outside of wrestling or w Fozzy... If Ric Flair and Becky Lynch hadn't already laid claim to the title, I'd nominate Chris as"The Man"!
He's still "The Man" to me!
@Maxwell Hoffman as both Steven and William "Regal' has indeed had a long and illustrious career. Undeniably a fantastic worker and one of THE toughest men to ever climb into the ring! Such a talented performer and I will give him recognition and respect as such. He was also very active behind the scenes discovering and working with new talent. I'm personally not aware of how long he was an active performer(if you know please fill me in) and he didn't dazzle me on the mic, but definitely deserves recognition!
Jericho: I called him up, pissed off!
Also Jericho: So anyway, I started apologizing.
Jericho needs to be a stand up comedian already. Perfect timing
Anyone in the business can learn so much from watching any of these Jericho interviews. He drops so much knowledge in his awesome stories.
I know it was seen as a joke but Vince's thoughts about the intercontinental title and what triple h just did putting it in the main event of SmackDown with a great match shows the disconnect between what Vince thinks and what the fans actually want. For years the intercontinental title and the US title we're like the workers championship because those matches could steal the show and I'm glad triple h is bringing that back.
Chris jericho is great story telling & natural promo cutter, you don't get superstars like that these days can you?
Kevin Owens and Bray Wyatt
He’s got countless stories to choose from too!
One was made when Jericho was beating up the juice on wcw saturday night
You can, just not in wwe.
@@JMEAUS22 Bray, Owens, Cole, The Usos, MVP, Orton, and the list goes on.
"You'll never, eever, be the same, again!" - Chris Jericho
I love the word- "Undertaker". The thing I want to hear or see again and again when someone talks about him
It just goes to show you Vince issues being the head of creative where I, as a fan, think to myself: "man, the IC title might be the most prestigious title in WWE!" While Vince thinks: "They want a 8-month cucking storyline GODDAMMIT!"
@GOLDBOND vs BALLS Vince has final say on all of the storylines in WWE. So yes, he in fact thought people wanted the cucking story for that long. What he *doesn't* get to decide is the value that fans and wrestlers put on his championships. That just shows how out of touch he is with his audience.
Also stop calling people "marks". It's super cringe.
Which “8-month cucking storyline” are you talking about?
Serpent XI lmao. Fans don’t know what they want. Who do you expect Vince to listen? To you or the ones that like the stuff?
@@ammar675 Vince doesn't listen to anybody
Apparently doesn't listen to them when they say "no" either 😬
I feel like Jericho could have gone against Undertaker instead of Punk, then just have Punk in the main event that year
Yeah, I always thought heel Jericho, in way over his head and trying to end Undertaker's streak, would've been a lot of fun.
@GOLDBOND vs BALLS Punk wasn't in Jericho's league.
GOLDBOND vs BALLS Yeah but if we would have had The Rock vs Cena vs Punk or even Punk vs Cena, I think it would have made up for it
@@bigb860 i have been dreaming of jericho vs taker at mania for years
@@TheDropkick thats what should have happened that year. Punk deserved to be in the main event that year, plus we wouldnt have had to havd Rock vs Cena again and screwed up the "once in a lifetime" schtick.
Liam vs Noel with Jericho as the guest referee.
Plot twist Noel turns on Jericho and gives him a beat down then Liam joins in then oasis reform
Winner gets full ownership of oasis
@@jonathancartwheelfruitloop3071 I fail to see the incentive to win.
I love the word - "Undertaker". When someone talks about him, I want to hear or see him again and again
I never knew jericho was such a good story teller. Gotta find more jericho clips.
Download his podcast
Hundred of episodes now surely
I love the respect Taker has
Jericho "I'M NOT GOING OUT THERE"
Taker "You what?"
Jericho "I'M GOING BACK OUT THERE!"
I always love listening to Chris tell stories, he's one of the best storytellers out there.
"no one cares about the Intercontinental Championship" line hurts so bad cus it's actually the opposite and so many people do, it's as big as the world title in most places and was once up there with the WWF championship...also definitely by far the greatest midcard belt...WWE have butchered it. Give it some importance guys, you had Shawn Michaels, Jericho, RVD, Guerrero, Triple H, Austin, Bret Hart, The Rock and more who have held this belt.
I can listen to Y2J tell stories all day.
Thinking about him saying "evil ballroom dancer" makes me think it's straight out of 1995 😂
Man Y2J is such a captivating speaker . Probably the best on the mic there has ever been .
This man never fails to entertain me!
What should have happened that year was Cena vs Rock vs Punk triple threat for the title, and Jericho vs Taker. Jericho could have done all the same antics that Punk did leading up to the match and it would have worked out fine.
Or have Punk go over Rock at Rumble keep the title until Mania where he faces Rumble winner Cena. Draw on their history from MITB 2011. Punk saying “You can’t beat me John” “I did what you couldn’t, I beat Dwayne” Mania Cena finally beats Punk and ends his 500 day reign.
@@bradcarver8127 Or or
Have Punk go over Rock in a dusty finish, Rock instead wins World Heavyweight Title at EC then have Cena challenge both of them at Mania - the man he couldn't beat last year and the man he lost the title to.
Make it an old style three way dance for the undisputed title. Promote it as "Then (Rock) Now (Cena), Forever (Punk)"
Cena pins Rock first to win WHC in the first fall, avenging his loss the year before. Rock raises his hand as a passing of the torch moment. He then shakes hands with Punk and goes to ringside (maybe even to the commentary desk).
"Rock, you joining us?"
"Are you kidding, these are the two biggest superstars in Sports Entertainment. We're about to see who's best, and the Rock has a front row seat. He's not going anywhere!!"
Then either have Cena win to end Punk's record or (my preference) have Punk win to cement himself as the new top man in the company... having beaten the past and present in that match.
Then have Daniel Bryan beat him a year later.
@@JESK-lx4js spot on
I could listen to Jericho tell stories all day, just too bad Vince didn't keep Fandango as popular as he was.
He did keep him. He's a tag champion in NXT
@@Sam1c9797 Vince doesn't run nxt
Fandango was a jobber in the main roster
@@ryoushi4339 are you slow, he could fire him if he wants and hasn't....
Fandango wasn’t popular, his theme song was lmaoo
@@ryoushi4339 what was he supposed to do with him? Main event
Chris’s vince impression is amazing hahah
weirdly WWE turned fandango heel and removed his theme and then hes in nxt, so much for long time build up pushing newcomers
Fandango was a heel then
Vince hates people who get over on their own merit. Always has.
And then they paired him with Tyler Breeze, a legitimately amazing worker who deserved to be the next HBK, and just Marty Jannetty'd his way into their irrelevancy. Not that that is entirely his fault- he got injured a bunch and that drove him down the card a lot, and WWE gave up on him, and paired him with someone they thought he had chemistry with, but never bothered to push them, and Breeze is a trainer now, so he doesn't seem particularly interested in getting the championships he deserves, so Fandango's just gonna probably be a low card heel for the rest of his career, having Eh matches with younger people, and getting his theme music sung at him by thousands of people around the world.
I suppose they were NXT tag team champions recently. But Breeze could've been a champion- most likely an intercontinental champion, but a champion nonetheless.
@@blaze5645 yeah but they lost it too quickly. I don't think they should've had a lengthy run, but they should have defended it successfully at least twice
I look at wrestling this way. Most people don't become pro wrestlers and even less perform for WWE at WrestleMania, so no one can complain. Jobbing for a guy like Fandango at WrestleMania is a lot better than working a drive-thru and getting yelled at/physically assaulted at some point.
I'd hate to have been working the Wendy's Corny was yelling at
@GOLDBOND vs BALLS Well, they're HIS complaints, not the complaints of the fans per se. He doesn't seem to be complaining a whole lot with AEW, regardless of what people think of him being or doing there. He probably would take AEW still.
I still don't get why jericho went over aj on his wrestlemania debut
people are allowed to feel upset about things. Should they be grateful for what they have?sure, but being more well off than someone does not mean you don't have a right to voice your opinion when you feel unsatisfied.
“Evil ballroom dancer” 😂
The Gallaghers and Jericho has triple threat written all over it.
Ikr, if only the Gallagher brothers can work it out lol
We’ll see a reunion one day.
@@heelgill it's like JR says, it's all about creative and cash.
Actually it should be Gallaher 1 vs Gallaher 2 with Y2J as a special referee
Be the first time a 2-1 handicap turns into a triple threat midway through the match
Jericho is so good. He cuts an amazing promo just by talking normaly. This man "Breathes" Wrestling. +_+
I think Jericho should have faced the Undertaker instead of CM Punk, and CM Punk to defend the title against John Cena in the Main event
The Rock should've fought Undertaker and CM Punk should've fought Daniel Bryan. Chris Jericho should've fought John Cena.
The guy still haven’t get his coat back 😂
First thing I noticed.
jericho: i learnt a valuable lesson!
also jericho: *leaves the company*
Sigma male
"You're not?"
**dull thud of brick hitting the floor**
Jericho could have had a decent run at stand up comedy if he ever wanted. He is engaging, knows how to tell an interesting story, and can deliver a punchline well. One of the last people to ever be in the WWE that had legit talent.
I'm damn sure that hangin out with Chris Jericho would be the funniest thing ever.
Jericho is the best talker of all time. His debut in WWE with the rock is still hair chilling to me
I love this series with Chris Jericho. He has a gift for making any situation he talks about funny.
I love stories like these. 99% of ex WWE guys have great respect for Vince
God I love Jericho. This dude has charisma up the wazoo, every time he talks it's golden nuggets.
This thing hit me right in the back of the head and it hurt, and I'm like you know what... YOU JUST MADE THE LIST!!
Could listen to jericho all day
Can't wait for Dynamite tonight!
Honestly, Fandango is probably where Jericho got his current mindset of putting youngsters over in AEW. Sounds like he took getting Fandango over as a personal challenge and when he succeeded, he became an addict.
He's an incredible public speaker. I just love him x
So basically, Jericho doing DWTS is the reason Fandango exists. Chris basically foreshadowed his MW match without even knowing it lol
Chris Jericho can now add "amazing motivational speaker" to his repertoire and long list of Life achievements. 👏🏾👏🏾
Miz vs Jericho would’ve been a very good match at WM29
Don’t understand why they didn’t do a fatal 4 way match for the ic title between Jericho, Fandango, Barrett, & Miz at Mania 29 instead
So fandango's first match ever will be an ic champion match straight away
@@Kemo457 So, remove fandango add him at andrei the giant battle royale. So, a triple threat match will be good and add a ladder match.
@@GreaTMaX32 that year didn't include an Andre the giant battle royal
That is a very good Vince impression
People really forget how over "feed me more" was. WWE really dropped the ball by rushing his push. Of course, when he got better opportunities, he proved to be another Ultimate Warrior (in an era where no one wanted an Ultimate Warrior). Still, for a while, Ryback looked like the next big thing.
11:48 love how he dealt with the Heckler at the end also I got to look up more anything with Chris Jericho and stand up in it because this is great
When undertaker tells you to run, you fly.
That’s the best thing of Jericho. Always been about getting himself and the biz over.
I was at that Raw, it was the one of the craziest nights in Raw history, the chants that night were AMAZING! I had actually downloaded evert wrestling theme that weekend bc my friends and i took a a party bus to Mania . And yes I had Fandangos theme, and was blasting it in the parking lot driving around the outside of the arena, god that was a great night.
Vince is one of a kind and love when current and former wrestlers impersonate his voice and stories.
2:47 genuine laughter moment🤣🤣🤣🤣
This man needs his own stand up specical
I actually liked Jericho and Fandango it was fitting for them to feud. Even their names lol, Icho and Ango are the endings of them.
Chris is awesome performer and always been great on the mic no one else comes close to him
Jericho is so good with a mic. He can do amazing talk shows . 🙂👍🙏
This MAN is GOAT
@Metropcs Metropcs
Chill
Just my opinion
If you don't like it just ignore
🙌
He is still wrestling at this age
Champion around world
I have watched him from my childhood
I believe he is One of the GOAT
This just shows even veterans can learn a thing or two what a story and what a moment for Fandango who then continued to get over doing the stuff with Tyler Breeze and all of that
I love hearing Chris Jericho talk about the business he's so into it he just loves his career and loves professional wrestling
I’ll never forget this match and I do guarantee you all it’s authenticity. I was in the crowd at WM that night and was so pumped to see Jericho, MY FAVORITE WRESTLER OF ALL TIME. Basically one of my childhood idols win a match live!! You know, you figure a high profile guy like him would definitely beat some jabroni who nobody even knew, especially on a night like WM, and what does WWE do, they slap Jericho in the face once again for the MILLIENTH time and showed him real good how much his loyal tenure and deication to the company was really appreciated. First they remove and nulify his first WWF title reign due to saltiness from HHH , then they fire and embarass him on Raw to Cena, then they hype him up lie crazy only to strip him of the Royal Rumble win as a last minute decision to Sheamus in 2012, then once again they have him lose to this no name, and the final slap in the face that ended it for him was when they dropped original plans for him to Unify the US and Universal titles at WM and drop him last minute the second Goldberg showed his non committed ass in the picture. Jericho held that company together with Cena, Edge, and Orton during some rough years for the company, even declining other offers treating him better! If you’re still reading this, that was the night I stopped watching WWE my people. That was it! Attended 2 live events a friend got us tickets for and never watched again. However I finally started watching AEW and lets be real about quality people. Not to mention they treat Big Daddy Y2J with the respect Yoda can only dream of.
Jericho passing on great lessons that I hope the people he's working with learn from
Miss Jericho, wwe is not the same without these legends… Jericho, undertaker, batista and all other from their era …
Chris Jericho The Legend
I swear they should make a cartoon about Vince and Jericho. 🤣🤣🤣
They are so larger than Life. ❤👍🏾
Like Pinky and the Brain.
How good would a @oasis reunion at WrestleMania v Chris Jericho lol
Oh man, subscribed after watched the episode
Jericho is a legend....
You can just hear Vince saying: ”the same thing you do every year, you are going to be looking at the lights pal! Hahah”
"You just gotta do what the boss tells you to do, and if you do a good enough job, he'll take care of you"
In wrestling this may be true, my retail/service jobs Ive worked in the past prove this to be not.
You can tell Chris is very well travelled because he can relate to any audience worldwide and no matter how salty he can be he's Canadian so always has that politeness running through his veins
Dude, the man's a legend already. I have nothing but respect for CJ. He works his as$ off through his promos and he gets people over for the sake of the business. I love how he never pulls his punches. Wish I could meet him someday
“Nobody cares about the fucking Intercontinental Championship.”
Even Vince knows that the IC Title is no longer the prestigious championship that it once was.
I think Chris is even more entertaining away from the ring than when he is in it......just the way he tells stories from the past. his first book was great.............
Moral of the story.....
Always listen to the Undertaker.
Gotta respect jericho , man is a true legend, always reinventing himself. Wish I could have met him. Love talk is jericho
Jericho can do a Standup Comedy Too
😂😂😂😂😂
