Chris Jericho Reveals Vince Russo's Reaction To His WWE Debut

Posted By: Carol Cassada on Dec 23, 2019

Chris Jericho has had a legendary career, which started with WCW then switched to WWE. During his latest episode of his podcast Talk Is Jericho, Chris was joined by his former WCW boss Vince Russo where they discussed a variety of topics.

Here's what they had to say:

Jericho on how Russo reacted when he showed him his WWE debut promo that he had written: “I wrote it down and I showed it to you, and you’re like, ‘This is great.’ ‘Do we have to show it to anybody else?’ ‘No.’ No rehearsal. No camera angle blocking. You and me and The Rock sat at the old catering there in Allstate Arena, and I wrote through it, and then Rock had a couple of ideas, you know, KY Jelly, and Juventud Guerrera, whatever. You and I and Rock rehearsed it, and that’s it. Nobody saw it until we debuted it in front of millions of people, one of the quote unquote classic promos of all time. Nobody saw it but the three of us.”

Russo on his philosophy on character building in wrestling: “What I’m trying to do, bro, is I’m trying to learn who they really are, and I’m trying to pull something out of them that’s unique, that’s different from everybody else, and here’s why I’m trying to do that, Chris. Because you know, these guys are not actors, they don’t go to acting school, so if you give them a role and they’re not trained actors, they’re gonna suck at it, and if they don’t believe what they’re doing, the audience ain’t gonna believe it. So I had to find something that was real in them. So what we did was we would find something that was real, we’d make them unique, and again, we would blow it up 1000x over. So now when they went out there, they weren’t acting, their character was a part of them, so the fans and the viewers believed in them.”
