IWGP Intercontinental Champion, Chris Jericho recently spoke with New Japan Pro Wrestling about a range of topics, including his thoughts on Evil.
His thoughts on Evil:
“When I look at the New Japan roster and see who are the next superstars of the company, I think Evil is one of those candidates, but he made a big mistake coming to save Naito, but he needs to mind his own fucking business and that really made me mad. He’s going to pay the price, I don’t know when. I hold grudges very deeply, I don’t forget and I will get my revenge on Evil at some point and only I know when.”
What the IWGP Intercontinental Championship means:
“New Japan is a great company, but it’s a very difficult company to win a title in, look how long it took Kenny Omega. For me to win the Intercontinental Championship, this is my first attempt. I am not going to say it was very easy, bullshit. It is a very hard title to win and it was very exciting for me.”

Why he stayed in New Japan:
“There’s a lot of great matches and possibilities for me here. If I stayed in WWE, I have wrestled everybody there, I love WWE but New Japan is a whole new world of possibilities for me and that’s exciting. That’s one of the reasons I came back and wanted to be here and now that I am a champion I think there is a big future for Chris Jericho in New Japan. After all of these years, the reason I still wrestle is that I enjoy it.”
