#4 "It burns you out." (26:37)
I will say this, one of the reasons why I left WWE in May of '17 and went on tour with Fozzy, but there's a lot of people like 'why would you leave right now? Your character's so hot.' To me, I was mentally exhausted. Like you just said, because every week, I had to do the same thing that you had to do. Go wait in front of his office, which takes forever, maybe it's an hour, maybe it's 45 minutes, go in there, then you gotta put on a show for the boss, and convince him why your idea is the right way to go. It burns you out! The match is the easy part!
That was where Chris Jericho decided to chime in and talk about his own experiences dealing with Vince McMahon. It sounds like it isn't easy. Before even attempting to convince the legendarily stubborn man, you apparently have to wait outside his office for around an hour. Not even longtime veterans and legends like Jericho are immune.
How many good ideas haven't even seen the light of day because many a superstar just doesn't want to even bother? How many times have things been so discordant on Vince McMahon's shows because not even his own wrestlers can get in touch with him?
