Obviously, I think there&#8217;s always things that can go better. But I think overall, I think it&#8217;s far exceeded what most people expected. I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s exceeded what Tony Khan expected, because I&#8217;m sure he was thinking big right out of the gate, which we know he was. And I can&#8217;t say that it&#8217;s exceeded what I&#8217;ve expected. But I can&#8217;t say that I&#8217;m not a little bit pleasantly surprised. It&#8217;s just, how big the company is after, like you said four years, five years now. It is unbelievable to think about that, you know, any company wrestling, or if you have a pharmacy, or if you&#8217;re a band, or whatever it may be if you&#8217;re a law firm to grow that big, in less than five years is inconceivable, but yet, here we are.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>On Vince McMahon:<\/b> &#8220;I mean, once again, there&#8217;s the reasons why he was stepping aside, and I&#8217;m not talking about that side of things. I never thought he would step down. And then I think had those other issues not come up here, there&#8217;s no way that he would have. But also, Vince is also smart. And I bet you he was like okay, I&#8217;m at the point now where this is not good for me to be here. So he trained and groomed Triple H for twenty years, and probably felt confident enough that things are gonna continue without him. And I say this all the time in AEW, I think everybody could use six months working for Vince McMahon. Because that&#8217;s what you really understand what wrestling is, the wrestling business and how the business works. And I loved working for him and I loved going head-to-head with him and creating ideas and debating ideas and arguing ideas.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But he always used to say, I&#8217;m not here just to teach you wrestling lessons, I&#8217;m here to teach you life lessons. And he did teach me a lot of life lessons, the guys really f&#8212;ing a cool guy. You know, from my experiences with him, and [he&#8217;s] not easy to deal with an asshole sometimes, but he&#8217;s your boss. You&#8217;re not supposed to be friends with your boss all the time. But then you can still get on the private jet and drink for four hours. [What does he drink?] I think it&#8217;s Dewar&#8217;s. He drinks whiskey, but I think it&#8217;s Dewar&#8217;s, it might be Macallan or something like that. [And you are a vodka guy?] Yeah. So he could never understand that. That actually was great. When I was hosting Tough Enough in Orlando, I had a press day in New York the next day, and he would always fly in and out of White Plains. That&#8217;s close to where he lives. And they said you can just jump in on the jet with Vince. It was me and Vince, Triple H and Kevin Dunn. And we&#8217;re flying back from Orlando and actually, they oil-spotted me and left me at the venue. And then, [they say], where you at? We&#8217;re at the plane, where are you? [I say] You guys are supposed to give me a ride. [They respond] We weren&#8217;t supposed to give you a ride, haha. F&#8212;ing assholes [laughs].<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So then I get there and I get on the plane and we start to fly. And he and I are drinking and Triple H and Kevin decided to go to sleep. And so Vince and I are just kind of hanging out listening to The Stones and AC\/DC because they are his two favorite bands. And when we land he goes, Let&#8217;s go to the gym. I&#8217;m like, dude go to the gym? It&#8217;s like literally like 4:30 in the morning. Like, I gotta get up at seven. He goes I gotta get up at six. We&#8217;re f&#8212;ing drunk. He&#8217;s like, let\u2019s go to the gym! I\u2019m like you&#8217;re not going to the gym. I&#8217;m not going to the gym, I&#8217;m going to sleep. So I get to my room and go to sleep at 4:30 and wake up at 6:30 I got a text on my phone picture of Vince flexing in the gym. And he writes Vince 1 Jericho 0. He was probably 73 at the time. But he has that work ethic, he would always say, I don&#8217;t expect you to do anything that I wouldn&#8217;t do myself. And that rubs off. There&#8217;s a way that the WWE works where you don&#8217;t say no to anything. I mean, they asked you to do press, you do it. They ask you to sign 1,000 action figures, you do it because if you don&#8217;t, you know there&#8217;s gonna be consequences and big ones. And that&#8217;s just kind of I think everybody in AEW needs to understand that sometimes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>On not being interested in a WWE Hall of Fame induction:<\/b> &#8220;I always like going against the grain. Like, I loved it when Axl Rose didn&#8217;t show up to the Hall of Fame and sent a note saying not only am I not showing up, but you&#8217;re not allowed to say my name. I love that shit. Like, that&#8217;s f&#8212;ing rock and roll, man. So I don&#8217;t really understand the point of a Hall of Fame. If you think I&#8217;m in it, that&#8217;s great, there&#8217;s no real Hall of Fame. It&#8217;s all kind of in WWE\u2019s mind in their chambers of the mind. And, I mean, it doesn&#8217;t really matter if I&#8217;m in it or not. You go up there and give some approved speech where you have five minutes to f&#8212;ing encapsulate 33 years. Because I was at the Hall of Fames when you had Hillbilly Jim talking for 45 minutes. F&#8212;ing hell, dude. You&#8217;re on Saturday Night\u2019s Main Event once, you don&#8217;t have a lot to say, nothing against Hillbilly Jim. Yeah, he&#8217;s a cool guy. And he deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. And then you get the frickin&#8217; Undertaker, and he gets 15 minutes. I&#8217;m not interested in that at this point. And like I said, it&#8217;s not a disrespectful thing. It&#8217;s just like, I don&#8217;t really see the benefits of it. And I kind of like doing the opposite things.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>On CM Punk returning to WWE:<\/b> &#8220;I mean it doesn&#8217;t surprise me. I mean it\u2019s the Vince attitude like if you can make money with somebody then you bring them back. He brought back the NWO, he brought [Eric] Bischoff in. Yeah, and Vince isn&#8217;t in charge. But Triple H learned from Vince once again. And the fans, keeping the fans entertained and happy, man. Look, he came back and it was the highest viewed social media segment that they&#8217;ve ever had. So once right out of the gate, it was a benefit to them. So it didn&#8217;t surprise me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div id=\"prowr-3541959934\" class=\"prowr-after-content prowr-entity-placement\"><a class=\"spreaker-player\"
