 WWE United States Champion Chris Jericho recently joined Busted Open Radio to accept his 2016 Comeback Of The Year Award. He revealed Vince McMahon's reaction to "the list" gimmick.Â
"When Vince came back I kind of told him, 'here's this list that I got and I had it made so I can use it as a foreign object.' He thought it was great. The first idea was for me to take it to the ring and use it for finishes, but he didn't want that, he just wanted it to be this entity. Next thing you know The List Of Jericho is more over than 80 percent of the roster. Now everyone wants to be on the list and the only way to get heat off of it is if I tease putting people on the list, and then don't put them on the list. That actually gets heat now.
"You just never know what's going to work and what's not going to work, and doing this as long as I've been doing it you have to recognize when something is gonna catch. Like I said it is like catching lightning in a bottle and when that happens you just want to stick with it -- my original plan was to be in the WWE for four months, January to Wrestlemania, then some things got moved around on Fozzy's schedule and some other things that I had going on, then I just decided 'Why don't we take 2016 completely off and with Fozzy?'"
