Chris Jericho gab Sports Illustrated ein Interview.
Wie man Frisch bei den Fans bleibt:
"I feel a great responsibility to my fan base. I am a fan, and I don't want to see the same thing over and over again. I refuse to settle and stay in the same box. I want to create excitement and that, to me, is what it's all about. There is no one in the world like Chris Jericho, but there is no one like Kenny Omega, either. That's why this match really intrigued me: Kenny is the top guy in New Japan, and he is a best-bout machine with some of the best matches ever, but I think I'm better. It's a once-in-a-lifetime match that you won't see again, and it's happening in Tokyo."
Darueber das Tetsuya Naito sein Match als wirklichen Main Event bezeichnet hat:
"That's like when people bitch and complain when Brock Lesnar and The Rock wrestle at WrestleMania, saying, 'These part-timers come to steal our spots.' Part-timers, full-timers, single-timers, whatever the f--- you want to call it, they're money-makers. I'm not the one calling this a double main event, it's New Japan calling it that–and they've already sold more tickets this year, with three weeks before the show, than last year. I'd say it's a smart move to bring Chris Jericho in and a smart move to make Alpha-Omega a double main event. If Naito doesn't like that, then tough luck. That's pro wrestling. Naito, don't worry about what I'm doing, just worry about what you're doing. You're going on last, but just because you're last doesn't make you the main event. See WrestleMania 18 if you want to know more about that. I don't give a s--- who's on last. If Naito is pissed off at me, then go out and prove it. It makes me want to work harder. Worldwide, and I'm just telling the facts, Alpha-Omega is the main event."
Seine Fehde mit Omega:
"My goal is to steal the show. The match started as one thing and changed to another. This is going to be more of a fight. It has an organic feel to it. After 27 years of doing this, I know that you have to follow the path of the match. The last time I had a match like this was against Shawn Michaels in 2008 with our unsanctioned match. This has the same feel to it. It's the two best in the world, but it is going to be intense, angry, and violent."
Also zum letzten Absatz, er verkauft es natuerlich super, allerdings ist Jericho im Jahr 2017 weit davon entfernt zu den Besten zu gehoeren. Ich glaube auch nicht, dass das Match die Show stehlen wird. Das Match wurde ein No DQ Match aus gutem Grund, um eben einige Schwaechen auch zu kaschieren.
Zweitens, zu dem Part Timer. Es kommt auf die Perspektive an. Die Ironie an Jericho`s Aussagen ist, dass er 1998 selbst als junger Wrestler sich ueber die WCW Part Timer beschwerte und erst im Sommer diesen Jahres hat er ein Interview gegeben, wo er sich kritisch mit Part Timern ausseinandergesetzt hat.
Naito vs Okada ist natuerlich der Main Event der Show. Naito ist aktuell der groesste Star. Im Besten Fall baut hier Jericho eine moegliche Fehde mit Naito auf, genauso wie er es bei Omega machte.
