Chris Jericho was a recent guest on The Jim Ross Report podcast and revealed the one thing he believes needs to be toned down in NJPW,
“You can’t abuse the referees constantly. If you notice, that’s one of the reasons why Alpha [Chris Jericho] vs [Kenny] Omega was a No DQ Match. I didn’t want to have to worry about burying the referee in this blood feud fight. Even in the [Tetsuya] Naito match, the finish was I gave him a mule kick to the balls and I gave him a code breaker…..he pushed me into the ref or something along those lines. The ref turned around so when I gave him the mule kick, the ref doesn’t see it. It’s just a small thing; but, it’s how I was trained. It’s how I learned. You can’t cheat in front of the referee. That just doesn’t work and watching New Japan there’s so much of that and I think that’s one of the reasons why the two matches I’ve had over there have gotten over so well. You’ll never see me ever take the referee for granted like that and abuse the ref and I find that’s the one thing about New Japan that needs to be toned down because there’s just too much of it. Why even have a ref?”
Jericho also talked to Jim Ross about his upcoming Chris Jericho’s Rock & Wrestling Rager At Sea Cruise. Jericho talked about the fact that every cruise activity will be all inclusive. Other than tickets there are no additional costs. Pictures, autographs, and shows are all included with tickets. Jericho also added that wrestlers will be accessible to fans during the cruise. The cruise will depart from Miami, FL on October 27th.
Y2J revealed that he actually offered the cruise to WWE first,
“I did offer this [cruise] to WWE at first. My vision at first was to do it with NXT; but, pretty much knowing that they would probably say no. You know how Vince [McMahon] is. If Vince is gonna do a cruise, he doesn’t need Chris Jericho to do a cruise. He’ll do it himself; but, I wanted to at least do my due diligence and give them the offer and the courtesy, which I did and when it came back that they decided not to go for it, Ring of Honor came back ten minutes later.”
