Steve Austin’s next guest on the Broken Skull Sessions is a rather unexpected one.
Chris Jericho will be on the show and those two could talk about any number of things.
While speaking to Sports Illustrated, Steve Austin detailed Vince McMahon's reaction to Jericho coming on Broken Skull Sessions.
I texted Vince and said we had this badass idea about Jericho coming on the show.
Vince goes, ‘It’s cool. Go ahead.’ But me and Vince don’t always do well with phones and texts and all that
So I texted one more time
‘Are you sure it’s O.K. to have Chris Jericho on the show?’
Vince gave me thumbs up, and Chris came out to do the show.
The Undertaker made lots of headlines when he told Joe Rogan that modern day wrestlers are softer than the previous generation.
Triple H was asked about this statement during a conference call to hype TakeOver.
Yeah, you know, everybody has opinions of the business and the business always morphs and changes, and people have opinions
and you can agree with them, you can disagree with them.
Taker has always been one of those guys that’s very properly honest
and the great thing about him though, is he’s bluntly honest with an opinion – here’s how I think it should be, and here’s how I can help you to get there.
So, he’s wide open to all of that.
His comments and his intention are always with the best of intent or desire to improve and I do believe he has a wealth of knowledge, that if he speaks.
There’s certain guys in the business that if they speak, they’ve been around a long time, seen a lot of things, and they’ve earned the right to, if they speak, you listen and you take the point of view, and you work with it.
He’s one of those guys, for sure.
Triple H also revealed why he turns down AJ Styles request for a match.
When he first came to me, I said, ‘AJ, I’m not going to tell you no.
Personally, I’d love to work with you and at this point, you can carry me to something.
So, I’d love it. The personal side of it, the performer side of it, I would love nothing more, but the reality is—I’m not going to have the bandwidth or availability schedule-wise to be able to pull that off.
He would come to me every week or every other week when I would see him and say, ‘How’s that bandwidth coming? You going to be able to make this happen?’
I’d say I’m not, but I’m flattered by that I really am and I’m humbled by it...
Christian made his return at this year’s Royal Rumble but was not seen on WWE television since then.
He signed with AEW last month at AEW Revolution.
While speaking on the Sports Illustrated Media Podcast, Edge talked about Christian joining AEW.
I’m not bummed. I want him to be happy and I want him to get the respect that he deserves
because I’d like for him to get the on-air respect that the locker room shows him.
If you ask anyone within our industry, he’s a name where people go, ‘Man, that dude.’
Steve and Randy talk about and what he brings to the table.
I want him to be wherever he’s going to get that respect.
Whatever the initials are, he’s my best friend
I want him to be happy and do what I’m hopefully able to do, which is go out on your own terms and see this thing through properly instead of ‘you’re done.’
We’ve both been in that scenario...
