– As previously reported, The Sam Roberts and Jim Norton Show recently interviewed former WWE Superstar Chris Jericho. During the interview, Jericho discussed nearly getting into a fight with Brock Lesnar at a past WWE Summerslam event. Below are some additional highlights (transcript via Fightful).

Jericho on how he was ready to fight Brock Lesnar and bite off his nose: “Yeah he did some stuff that I felt he shouldn’t have done and no one would tell me if it was supposed to happen or not and then he started yelling at me — I was like, ‘F*ck this guy’. I started yelling back. I remember I was face-to-face with him and I just remember looking at him [and thinking], ‘He’s got the biggest, ugliest nose’. Like this f*cking giant nose, and I’m like, if he does anything, I’m just gonna bite his nose off. He’s gonna kill me either way, so he’s gonna kill me with no nose. I don’t care.”

Jericho on the mindset of fighting someone like Brock Lesnar: “Absolutely [Knowing that someone of Lesnar’s stature could hurt him]. That’s when you lose — I guess your common sense, but that’s the way for me and I’m not saying I’m a tough guy but there’s a certain level as a man where you start saying, ‘I don’t care how big you are, I have to do something’, and if I go down, I go down swinging. Also, I’m not going in there with a defeatist attitude. It’s like whatever happens happens but I have my game plan and we’ll see what goes down.” Jericho explained. “This has always been my motto for fighting: Everyone’s got nuts, and everyone’s got knees. I don’t care how big you are. If I can kick you in the nuts or if I can kick your f*cking knees in, I’ll have a chance.”

Jericho on his respect for Lesnar: “I also wanna say that I respect Brock Lesnar and what he has done with the business and how he has really made a lot of money minimally. So I wanna say that. I don’t think he’s a d***. We just had an issue and it’s done.”
