Chris Jericho: ‘I’d Have To Be A Pretty Big A-Hole To Consider Myself A Legend’

In an interview with TV Insider, Chris Jericho was asked if he considers himself a legend in the wrestling business. He also spoke the last time he was starstruck. Here are highlights:

On if he considers himself a legend: “I think I would be a pretty big a**hole to call myself a legend. Some people say that I have some sort of legendary status. And if someone says that, thank you very much. I’m more than happy to accept that. It’s hard for you to call yourself a legend. Although I did call myself the living legend in WWE. So, if you look back in 2004, my character definitely thought he was a legend.”

On the last time he was starstruck: “I’ve met Keith Richards a couple of years ago, and that was big one. You just got to be cool and talk to them like they’re normal dudes. I still have my heroes. I saw Wayne Gretzky a few months ago. He had a couple of cocktails. I was sort of starstruck, but he was going off on how much he loved me and my work. I was like, ‘Wow, Gretzky likes me. I don’t care if he has had a couple of cocktails. I am talking to Wayne Gretzky!'”
