WWE Superstar Chris Jericho's brand new Blu-ray set,

The Road Is Jericho: Epic Stories & Rare Matches from Y2J , features more than 20 matches and 25 newly-filmed interview segments with Jericho himself. All making for a massive 7-hour compilation - a must for any Jerichoholic.There's Jericho vs. Kurt Angle at Rebellion in 2001, Jericho vs. Ultimo Dragon at Bash at the Beach in 1997, Jericho vs. John Cena in a dark match from 2008, along with other stellar matches with Kane, HBK, CM Punk, Rey Mysterio, and more. I had the chance to talk to Jericho about his new Blu-ray compilation, his recent limited live event stint with WWE, and his thoughts about Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania

Jericho vs. Kane, Last Man Standing Match.

Jericho vs. Bray Wyatt, Cage Match.

Yeah, one hundred percent all me. I mean, they send me a bullet point list and so I get to choose the ones off there that I want to use. But then also I get to pick some new ones. I see a match with X-Pac on the list but then I know that we had a better one in a cage at some point. So I go and track that one down and use that instead. But that's the way that it has to be. I'm hands on with all the stuff that I do. Especially when it comes to something like a collection of my matches. I want people to see - not necessarily the greatest ones - but I want them to see the ones that hold a certain significance historically. Or the fact that they're something a little bit different than from what they're used to seeing. Or just something fun. So I was very much involved in the final decision on pretty much everything.[laughs] I mean, when you're working with Kane, and at the time he was a legitimate monster, it's not so much about how the story began. And only real hardcore fans like you and I remember that incident. It's all about the matches. And so I think that it was irrelevant how it started. I mean, who really cares? The point is that it led to a great collection of performances. Especially that Last Man Standing Match. I love how weird the finish is. How way over the top it got. How campy it was. It was indicative of what was going on during the Attitude Era at that time. And that's kind of what I'm talking about. That's sort of a forgotten match. And there are so many matches that I did at that point in time, and so many other matches that were happening around then, that you look at a Kane Last Man Standing Match and you go, "Oh, I remember that. I haven't seen it since 2000." So then you go back and watch it and it acts like a fun time capsule. There are a lot of those type of matches on here. I didn't want to put stuff on that you see all the time. And there might be a few of those, but there are a lot of the forgotten ones. And ones that people couldn't even see, like the dark matches and things along those lines. So it was fun putting it together and thinking about things along that criteria.I've always been pretty good at remembering the details about certain things. But one thing I've noticed is that a lot of times you don't remember certain things simply because we did so many matches in such a short period of time. One match run into the next and then you kind of forget about one of them. If you would have said "Hey, did you ever have a match against Steve Austin with Mick Foley as the guest referee?" I would have said no. And yet here it is. So I didn't even remember that match. So, yeah, put that on there because with all the individuals involved there's no way it could be bad. And I don't even remember it.The basic bottom line is that you had the quintessential babyface against the quintessential heel. And there was also a reality element that took it above and beyond. That started with the beatdowns that I was giving Shawn. The bloody mess that he was. Punching his wife, Rebecca. All those things took it to the next level. And of course the work rate was just amazing and the promos were great. You had two seasoned vets who enjoyed working with each other and played off each other well and knew exactly what to do. Even the match I included for it, it was the last match in that series and I kind of forgot about it. It was in London. It was a Last Man Standing Match, again. It was on a RAW. And even though we had our classic blowoff match - the Ladder Match - some time later we also did this Last Man Standing Match. I didn't even remember that one. I thought the Ladder Match was the last one, but we did one more after that and this was it. Once again, we had this great collection of performances, this group of matches, and this was another one of those that almost gets lost in the shuffle.Well, I always like doing things that no one's ever done before. Doing things a little out of the ordinary. I had two months off from my band and from all the other stuff I've been doing and I thought "Some guys come back and just do TV, why can't I come back and just do live events?" I remember when I was a kid that the only way to see Hulk Hogan wrestle was you'd have to go to the live shows. He was never on TV. So I thought "Why not do the same thing?" I'll just show up for live events and see if they go for that. And they went for that. So I signed a deal for 16 live events and there I was, man. It was a lot of fun. Live events are notorious for being pressure free. Stress free. It's all about just doing the match. Doing what you feel. I had some good opponents in Cesaro and Luke Harper. I really enjoyed it. It's something I would definitely look into doing again. Especially if I don't have enough time to do TV. What I mean is that you can't come back to TV for two months. It's too short. You can't start anything. It's too much of a tease and there's really nowhere you can go.Well what exactly does "elevate" mean, really? Like, working with somebody who has less experience probably. If we're talking wins and losses, which people now seem overly stuck on, I came back for 16 shows and I won all of them. Does that make me better? Does that suddenly make me amazing? No. You have house show matches and you either win or lose. And I won them all. But the guys I was working with still all got elevated just from being in the ring with me. Harper and Cesaro. And both those guys got some good experience and I was able to share different approaches to things and different pointers with them. Because I've been around so long. I have a ton of experience. Any time I work with someone it's going to elevate them. Whether it's a win, loss, tie, or whatever. And I think that's one of the reasons I can come back and work as frequently or as infrequently as I want to. Because it's invaluable now to work with someone who has 25 years of experience. And there's not a lot of guys in the company who have that. I have more experience than Hunter does. And more than Kane does. I think the only person who's been around longer is Undertaker, when he's there. And maybe Dustin Rhodes.Look, like I've said before, if you're going to give someone a shot, give them a shot. There've been tons of guys who when they've been put in the main event at WrestleMania might not have been quote unquote ready. Who's to say who's ready and who's not? Let's see how the crowd reacts when they get there. But all I know is that Roman Reigns was everybody's favorite guy until the Royal Rumble. And then everyone turned on Roman Reigns. It's so funny how two days before, and the year before, everybody loved Roman Reigns. Everybody. All the fans did. And don't tell me that you didn't because they were all saying "Roman Reigns, Roman Reigns, Roman Reigns...what? Daniel Bryan didn't win the Royal Rumble? We hate Roman Reigns! Boo!" And meanwhile, ever since then - I mean, we did house shows in Calgary and Edmonton and it was like Beatlemania. They were going nuts for him. And that was a week after the Royal Rumble. So I think that he is ready, as much as anyone can be ready in this day and age. So let's see how it goes. I mean the match he had with Daniel Bryan at Fastlane was incredible. And you can't tell me that it was all because of Daniel Bryan. Really? Because I always heard in the business that it takes two. And I think I've proven myself to be a fairly decent worker, so if I'm telling you it takes two, I think every fan should shut the hell up and listen to what I'm saying. He did a great job of living up to his end of the bargain and he'll do the same thing at WrestleMania. They will leave no stone unturned to make that a great match. They will get all the benefits. All the bells and whistles. And as long as they can hold it together, I think it's going to be great.
