Y2J Speaks on Leaving WWE & How Long He Intended to Stay

May 18, 2012

In a new interview conducted for The UK's Daily Star, Chris Jericho had the following to say about his return to WWE, how long he intended to stay, and his impending departure to tour with Fozzy:

"Lots of fans were saying please come back, so I came back. Punk and I had some good thoughts on what we could do together and people were saying screw you, you’re only back for the payday at Mania.

I’m nothing like those guys. I’ve only missed four house shows since I came back. I ended up signing for four months longer than I planned to do. And yes, when it’s done I’ll devote myself 100 percent to Fozzy for our run.

I’m in the best shape ever, I’m not hurt, I can easily come back for as long as I want whenever I want, but people should understand that I’m not going to wrestle until I’m 85 years old."
