Chris Jericho on recent run with New Japan
New IWGP Intercontinental Champion Chris Jericho recently did an interview with Busted Open Radio and talked about his recent run with New Japan.
Jericho addressed the difference in feeling that Vince McMahon has for Jericho working for New Japan since January when he first worked a match against Kenny Omega at the promotions Wrestle Kingdom 12 event.
EXCLUSIVE: @IAmJericho joined @davidlagreca1 & @bullyray5150 LIVE from Osaka, Japan this morning ahead of #njdominion and he compared @s_d_naito to being as big a babyface in Japan as @TheRock & @JohnCena & Vince McMahon's reaction to him working in NJPW again. pic.twitter.com/HSNIfcK2es

“Well, when I told him about the first NJPW match, he was up for it. Then when I told him I was going to do more, nothing really negative, still very supportive, but I think now it’s a bit of a slight, not an issue, but it’s another company out there and I know for a fact he takes every company very seriously. Chris Jericho is a part of WWE and what’s going on with New Japan right now with all of the subscriptions increasing with NJPW World and all of that. I still think everything’s cool, but I feel if my involvement with New Japan continues, I might get a call one of these days. Until then, I still enjoy doing this because it is different.”
Jericho defeated Tetsuya Naito to win the IWGP Intercontinental Championship this past Saturday at the Dominion iPPV in Osaka.
