Chris Jericho was recently interviewed by Brian Fritz for a FOX Sports interview special.
Below Jericho reveals the worst argument he had with Vince McMahon:Â
"The worst argument is when I got the job to host "Downfall," the game show that I had to audition for quite a few times. I didn't tell him because I didn't want him getting involved because sometimes the company will get involved and screw things up for you. (laughs) And when I finally got the gig, I didn't tell him and it was on the front cover of the Hollywood Reporter, which he flipped out at. He forbid me from doing it and I was going to do it. No you can't. Yes I can. Well, you're fired. You can't fire me because I quit. You can't quit because you're fired. I'm going to fly to Connecticut to punch you in the face. I'll give you my address. I'll be waiting. That sort of a thing. We kind of just hung up on each other. We ended up working it all out but that was the biggest actual argument.
Most of the time with Vince, it's not arguments, it's just debates or it's a very calm, "this is what you're doing." I wasn't supposed to be working with Fandango at WrestleMania 29. It was supposed to be Ryback and that was kind of the deal we had made. That was the promise that was made and it was changed very quickly for no real reason. I wasn't happy about that either. Nothing against Fandango, but that spot wasn't a really WrestleMania worthy match, but once again, once I was told that this was my role, I made it a WrestleMania-worthy match. We had about three weeks to come up with an angle and if you go and watch that match and watch the night after, the most over guy on that show was Fandango. And I'm taking a huge chunk of the credit for that, thank you very much."
