Chris Jericho has revealed the one pitch he thinks should have gotten a better reaction.
The wrestling veteran recently spoke to GamesHub for an interview. He talked about things such as the success of the Judas song, his underrated rivalry with The Rock and more.
During the talk, the former World Champion was asked if there was a pitch in WWE or AEW he made which he thinks did not get the reception it deserved. Chris Jericho recalled the one time he went to Vince McMahon to pitch an angle involving The Wyatt Family and Shawn Michaels. He suggested that the whole thing was doomed from the start, however, because the boss was not alone in his office and he had not eaten yet:
The idea was a storyline involving Bray Wyatt and Shawn Michaels. The premise was that the Wyatt Family would attack me, and the only person I could call who was crazy enough to have my back was Shawn — even after our rivalry. He comes back to confront me, and just as we’re about to go at it, the Wyatt Family attacks us both. Now you don’t know whether Shawn was going to take my offer or not, but he’s involved.
The Steak Killed The Whole Angle: Chris Jericho
According to Chris Jericho, it was a solid pitch that would have led to a SummerSlam match, with the Wyatt Family going up against him and Shawn Michaels. When Vince McMahon was eating, however, he did not care for anything else, and so he rejected the whole thing without much consideration:
Vince just sat there eating his steak, and when I finished, he said, ‘Bad cow.’ I said, ‘What?’ He goes, ‘Bad cow — the steak is tough.’ I said, what do you think of my pitch? He goes, ‘What else you got?’ The steak killed the whole angle. But that’s the nature of working for Vince — if he doesn’t like it, you’re done. Same with Tony, to a degree. You have to please your boss.
Apart from this, Chris Jericho also revealed the status of his wrestling career amid his prolonged AEW absence. You can check out what he said here.
