#1 Chris Jericho praises Vince McMahon on multiple occasions following WWE exit

Chris Jericho is one of the biggest Superstars to ever grace a WWE ring. A Cruiserweight star in WCW, he became a multiple-time World Champion in WWE, and is regarded by many as one of the all-time greats. Chris Jericho has stated in the past how his WrestleMania 33 booking led to him leaving WWE.

Chris Jericho, though, has made it clear on several occasions that he has nothing but respect for Vince McMahon. He has praised Vince McMahon in various interviews following his WWE exit. At one time, Jericho said that the one thing he misses about WWE is his interactions with Vince, and how the WWE Chairman always challenged him as a professional.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
