While speaking to Sports Illustrated, Chris Jericho talked talked about his schedule and mentioned that if you want to see him wrestle, it will have to be at WrestleKindom 12.

“If you want to see Chris Jericho wrestle, the Tokyo Dome is where you’re going to see me. If you watch one show this year, that’s the one to watch.”

Jericho was also asked about possibly going back to work for Vince McMahon but mentioned that he’s not slotted for the main event of WrestleMania but pointed out New Japan Pro Wrestling gave him that opportunity.

“I could go back to the WWE, I love working for Vince McMahon,” said Jericho. “But if I showed up tomorrow, as of right now, I am not slotted for the main event of WrestleMania. I am in the main event at Wrestle Kingdom.”

Jericho also commented on part-time Superstars and mentioned that they’re money makers.

“That’s like when people bi— and complain when Brock Lesnar and The Rock wrestle at WrestleMania, saying, ‘These part-timers come to steal our spots. Part-timers, full-timers, single-timers, whatever the f— you want to call it, they’re money-makers.”

Kenny Omega’s current contract with New Japan Pro Wrestling expires January 31st of next year, but it doesn’t look like he’ll be headed to WWE anytime soon.

Dave Meltzer mentioned in the latest issue of The Wrestling Observer Newsletter that there is very little talk of him leaving the promotion. Omega has said himself that barring any unforeseen issues, he plans on signing with New Japan for another year. Omega’s new deal, if he chooses to stick around, would see his pay increase considerable and it would give him extra authority as a creative voice in all his angles.

Omega told Tokyo Sports last month that he’s staying with New Japan. “I’m staying in New Japan 100 percent,” Omega said. “This is where wrestlers can be themselves and fight for themselves. I want to show how great a place it is.”

Omega has already been announced for shows beyond his NJPW obligations, such as the Ring Of Honor Supercard of Honor on April 7. Omega is scheduled to face WWE Superstar Chris Jericho at the Wrestle Kingdom 12 event on January 4th in a one-and-done match.

Ross opens today’s show speaking about the recent WWE releases. He says that Emma is a fundamentally sound performer and whatever problems she may have, she’s still young enough to fix them and make her way back to WWE if that’s what she wants to do. The same can be said for both Summer Rae and Darren Young.

He feels bad for those three individuals but this type of thing happens to all of us, and he hopes they all put their work boots on and get back into the game instead of hanging their heads and complaining on social media.

Ross says he was able to watch an early screening of Ric Flair’s upcoming 30 for 30 documentary and it really had an impact on him. It was an emotional journey and some of the stories told on the documentary upset him, partially because he was a part of some of them and he’s not proud of that. Nonetheless, Flair’s recent health issues have made him take better care of himself and he’s thankful for that.

Ross says he was excited to hear about WWE’s plans for the 25th anniversary of RAW. He hopes to receive a call and he mentions that it’d be great to potentially work with Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler again. In either event, he’d love to just travel to New York and spend some time with a lot of his old friends because he cherishes those moments now, perhaps more than ever.

He says he really enjoyed the recent Twitter war between Kenny Omega and Chris Jericho. Ross thinks there’s a method behind this madness and he assumes we’ll eventually see a match between these two men. He says that Jericho versus Omega at WrestleKingdom in the Tokyo Dome would be a massive event.
