Chris Jericho On If He’s A Legend

Most wrestling fans agree that Chris Jericho is a living legend. He’s the first ever WWE Undisputed Champion, and he’s done just about all there is to do in the professional wrestling business. But Chris Jericho isn’t done yet, and there are still a lot of things he wants to accomplish in the entertainment world.

Jericho is set to host a new show on the Travel Channel called “The Legend Of… With Chris Jericho” and during a recent interview with TV Insider he was asked if he considers himself to be a legend.

“I think I would be a pretty big a**hole to call myself a legend. Some people say that I have some sort of legendary status. And if someone says that, thank you very much. I’m more than happy to accept that. It’s hard for you to call yourself a legend. Although I did call myself the living legend in WWE. So, if you look back in 2004, my character definitely thought he was a legend.”

Even though Jericho doesn’t consider himself a legend, there’s no denying that he’s good at what he does, and he praised his fanbase for following his other projects outside of wrestling.

“Me, I’m just a guy who likes to do a lot of different things. I don’t put boundaries on myself. When I was a kid, I wanted to be in a rock ‘n’ roll band and a wrestler. I’ve done both those things at very high levels. That has enabled me to do other stuff like write books, do podcasts, YouTube shows. I have a great fanbase that follows me into whatever I do because they know I put a thousand percent into every project I’m a part of. And I turn down a lot of stuff too.”
