Chris Jericho talks about his fans, if he will wrestle again

Y2J wouldn’t mind never wrestling again!

In a recent interview with GetYourRockOut,com, Chris Jericho commented on how he has built up his brand over the past few years and would be content if he never wrestled another match. Here are a few highlights:

“I’ve been very smart over the last ten years in building the Chris Jericho brand, and wrestling is a part of what I do, but it’s not by far the biggest thing of what I do by any shape or form. And sometimes that confuses some of my fans, but I really don’t care. If I never wrestle another match again, I’m happy with it. I’ve done all that I ever wanted to do and more. I still like going back [to wrestling] from time to time, because it’s fun. But when other things come up, things that I’ve been working on for a long period of time, they start paying off, well, then you’ve gotta be there and spend that time on that as well.”

Jericho also talked about fans who have stuck with him through his various ventures and those who haven't:

“I’ve always lived my life doing what I wanna do and what feels right to me — not for money, [and] not what other people want me to do. If I listened to what other people want me to do, I never would have gotten into wrestling in the first place; everyone said I was too small. I never would have gotten into rock and roll in the first place; everyone said, ‘You’ll never do it.’ So I learned a long time ago to be really happy with what you’re doing career-wise; you have to follow your heart and do what you feel is right and commit to it. And if you commit to it, you’ll make it; you’ll do it. And, thankfully, the majority of my fans follow me throughout everything that I do. And if they don’t, thanks for being aboard as long as you were. Thanks for being a part of it. And if you feel like you have to go the other way, that’s cool too.”
