"I think that people have to understand that even in this day, that wrestling is so much more about the character, and personalities, and the charisma. To really make it in anything, especially show-business wise, is just so much attached to building a fan base. You have to connect with that fan base. You have to make them want to see you.
Chris Jericho went on to talk more about how it was never about the moves and more about how he was able to portray his character in the ring, and that's why he lasted so long.
"Whether they want to see you win, or they want to see you lose, or want to see you play a concert, or do stand-up comedy or whatever, you have to have a connection with somebody that really draws them into what it is you're doing. So, it's never been about moves. Even though now, moves are so important, and everybody is so athletic. It's incredible, but it still doesn't mean as much as a great story."
Finally, he criticized the sort of wrestling where characters never come to the fore, saying that it was not as interesting.
"You have to tell stories and you have to have characters that people believe in and want to see, and then the moves come secondary, because if not, then you're just two half-naked guys, slathered in baby oil, wearing spandex, wrestling around with each other, and I can go watch that on a website. I don't even watch wrestling for that."
