On WrestleMania needing something to jumpstart it like The Rock returning to WWE

“Absolutely, but what’s wrong with that? I mean, last week I listened to your guys’s show and you guys were complaining as critics do that WrestleMania had no jump to it. Vince McMahon is a genius. You can say what you want and whatever you want to say. He will always pull stuff out his ass. You wait and see what he comes up with at WrestleMania. You think “The Rock” is the last thing is going to be the big selling point. No way! I’m sure he's got two or three other things up his sleeve for this WrestleMania... There’s still five weeks until WrestleMania."

Jericho on TNA - that if a wrestler doesn't think he/she works for the best company, no one else will buy into it

“When I worked for WAR in Japan, the company was half the size of new Japan, but for me, WAR was the best company in the world, and if anybody talked badly about my company, I’ll fight you. And if we had any kind of interaction with New Japan, I wasn’t trying to work for New Japan, I didn’t give a s--- about working for New Japan, all I cared about was working for WAR, and flying the banner as high as I could... I don’t care if TNA is the worst company in the world, I don’t care. Once you sign a contract for there, you work for Dixie Carter, and you do the best you can to make people believe it’s the best company in the world, and if all you’re doing is b------ about WWE, then go f------ work for WWE, or act like a hasbeen that used to work there. TNA should be the best place in the world to work, and if you don’t believe that, the fans won’t believe it, they’re not gonna buy your product, they’re not gonna believe your product, and they’re not gonna watch your product."

WWE return?

“Now that’s the thing people ask me 'When are you coming back to wrestling? When are you going to do this? When are you going to do that?' I got asked today 'Are you? - the rumor is you’re the new singer of Velvet Revolver?' Even if I was the lead singer of Velvet Revolver, even if I was coming out of the Chamber why would I tell you a-holes?”
