Between The Ropes (Chris Jericho) Wednesday, November 9, 2005 Central Florida's Sports Radio 740 The Team Simulcast

He said his three favorite storylines in WWE were he and Shawn Michaels leading to WrestleMania 19, he and Steve Austin
which led to Austin's team vs. Bischoff's team at Survivor Series in Dallas with Austin's team losing, and the triangle with
he, Trish Stratus, and Christian.
When asked about his good friend Christian leaving WWE, Jericho said he's very
proud of him for walking away on his own terms. He said it took a lot of guts. "He's a great performer, he's a great
talker, he's a great wrestler, he's a great character. He's just not 6'6", 300 pounds of shredded muscle. And that shouldn't
make a difference, but for some reason it does. He never got his due that he deserved."
Asked whether Christian
would do well in TNA, "I think he would do great because all he needs is a little bit of a push which would give him the confidence
to be that top guy that Vince didn't think he could be.
That's why I'm glad that he left. He needed to get away from there and they're going to see the talent roster is
getting thinner and thinner and thinner. And these guys that they're bringing in just aren't ready for the spot. But
they have no choice because they have nobody else. If you lose a guy like Chris Jericho, if you lose a guy like Christian,
if you lose a guy like Steve Austin, there's only so many of those guys you could lose before you basically have amateur hour
on live TV. It's becoming that way. Guys are working hard and trying, but you can't take a guy who has only been wrestling
for two years and put him in a main event spot. He just doesn't know what to do. A guy like Christian to go to TNA is great
for him and great for that company because they need guys who are considered top stars that show up in TNA that haven't been
fired."
