Chris Jericho Reveals Which Top WWE Star He Used To Have Heat With

On the latest edition of “Hot Ones,” Chris Jericho tackles some spicy chicken wings with host Sean Evans all while sharing some wrestling related stories. Highlights from the interview are as follows:

The top trash talkers in WWE:

“Obviously Rock has to be in there, Steve Austin was a great talker for sure. [John] Cena’s really good, but sometimes he gets a little bit immature…”

Pop-culture figures that would make a good heel in WWE:

“I loved Dwight Schrute in ‘The Office,’ just being a f*cking assh*le… Not tough, but just that guy you’re just like ‘This guy’s just a jerk.’ That’s a great character [for] wrestling or anything. You have to fall into the character, become the character.”

Which top WWE star he used to have heat with:

“Triple H. In 2002, we didn’t like each other. I think we were almost pitted against each other in a lot of ways. We had great chemistry, great matches…I just didn’t like him, he didn’t like me, and there was no falseness. Now I love him. Great guy.”

Wrestling in Japan vs. the United States:

“When you first go there, you’re like, ‘Do I suck? Why is there no reaction whatsoever?’…They’re respectfully watching because, to them, it’s a real craft.”
