Interesting interview.
* There was no truth behind JR and Jericho starting AEW when those rumors popped up.
* Vince emailed Jericho about it when he first heard those rumors. So yeah, Vince cares.
* Life changes and life on the other side of WWE woke him up to the possibilities and getting the biggest offer of his career "by far." He "couldn't say no."
* Jericho is signed with AEW for three years.
* He doesn't sound too fussed about ending his career in WWE.
* Jericho talked to Vince before jumping. "Business is business" and he'd be stupid to have turned down AEW's offer to avoid upsetting someone, and Vince understands that better than anyone.
* You go up and down, up and down, up and down in this business as far as being a main eventer goes -- especially if you stay in the same place.
* He's not fussed about going into the WWE Hall of Fame either. He said it would be a huge honor, but he'd consider not showing up ala Guns 'n' Roses.
* You don't have to worry about being in a box. You have to move to stay happy, to stay motivated. He wouldn't sign with AEW for the money to be miserable. The money is great, but he's excited about this.
Reading between the lines of this interview, Jericho is talking to WWE talent. He really took aim at the WWE's schedule and seems to be winking about the money, the miles and the creative of WWE.
