I've been hearing these tidbits off and on about Jericho talking smack on CM Punk lately but these are the most in-depth comments I've seen from him - [quote]Former WWE Star Chris Jericho Blasts CM Punk, Miz, More by Aaron Glazer - September 27, 2011 Wrestling Voice Radio - New Episode Every Sunday Host: Duane Doogan Available at WrestlingVoiceRadio.com & iTunes Chris Jericho was the guest on this week's Wrestling Voice Radio Show. He spoke about his band Fozzy, the progress on their next album, their upcoming European tour and much more. Highlights are below. On wrestlers stealing his moves and gimmicks in WWE today and lashing out at CM Punk for doing so: "There seems to be a lack of respect for the forefathers who came in and did it first and it's not just CM Punk, it's a whole litany of guys from Miz to Cody Rhodes to Mason Ryan to Sin Cara to Kelly Kelly, everybody is stealing moves, looks, ideas. Brian Pillman once told me if you want to make it in wrestling you have to do something that nobody has done before and nobody is doing that and they are coming off as second rate copies of Chris Jericho and that's maybe why these guys aren't striking and I watch it and think, "Seriously, again?" "A couple of years ago you had 'Miz 4, John Cena 0', where did that come from? Conspiracy Theory, where did that come from? Best in the World, where did that come from? Wearing suits, talking slow, using big words, using certain moves, you know Miz used the word "troglodyte" a few weeks ago and I'm like seriously? If there ever was a word associated with Chris Jericho that would be it. These guys have to start thinking of their own stuff and some times I see some of them and I'm like oh come on. It's not like it's influenced. At least give credit where credit is due." Chris also talks about his ideal wrestling match, his ultimate tour line-up, if he would wrestle in Japan again, his favorite lyrics and more. Check it out now at WrestlingVoiceRadio.com[/quote] I don't know the whole background of his issues with CM Punk but I don't understand his disdain for him at all. If there's anyone in wrestling right now who I think really DOES respect his forefathers (other than, strangely enough, John Cena) it's CM Punk. The dude IS old-school. I don't really see how Jericho thinks Punk's ripping off his forefathers and not paying respect. Maybe there's something more to the issue that I'm not aware of, but those are my thoughts on it. And as far as his comment about "Best In The World" - I didn't know that Jericho trademarked something that pretty much any wrestler in the world has a right to claim that is what they are? Except Heath Slater. And we all know CM Punk ain't wearing any suits. Unless you count his spiffy announcer jacket. Where I do agree with Jericho - The Miz. As awesome and entertaining as The Miz is, I've thought multiple times how he's basically doing Jericho's schtick in Jericho's absence. He's like a stand-in Jericho, pretty much for all the reasons Chris mentions above - talking slow, using big words, wearing the suits. It is completely blatant. I just think the fact that he's so damn entertaining with it makes me not care as much as I would if he completely sucked.
