The Mirror recently did an interview with Chris Jericho while he was promoting Fozzy’s appearance at the Download Festival in June. Here are a few highlights:
If he stays in contact with WWE:
For relevant reasons. Once in a while you’ll shoot texts back and forth with somebody, or if there’s some business thing going on, like if they need something signed or a scan for a video game or something like that but it’s not like I talk to the WWE every week and give them my thoughts on what’s going on with them or they call me and give their opinions on what I’ve been doing.
It’s a business relationship and like everything else when you’re gone you’re gone and when you’re back you’re back and if there’s anything in-between on a business level or a personal level I’ll get in contact with them.
I have a good relationship with the WWE and there’s no animosity but it’s not like we’re calling each other every day finding out what we had for dinner that night.
If he plans to return to WWE soon:
No time soon, I left last July and I’ve been working pretty much non-stop since then between Fozzy tours and doing the new Fozzy record and writing another book and doing my podcasts and a web series. There are a lot of projects in the Chris Jericho pantheon as always.
That’s not to say that I won’t go back but I have no plans as of right now, just because I have so much other stuff going on that I’m enjoying.
We’ll see, there’s no controversy or animosity it’s more of a timing thing; the timing has to be right for me and right for the WWE as well. When it is I’m sure we’ll both consider me coming back.
