Well well, it's gone from scared to posting my comment to deleting it, LOL!
As I thought, Andrew Soucek, "PWTorch Specialist" became a specialist in deleting truthful comments. That would never be the case here but obviously is, over at Pro Wrestling Torch.
Chris Jericho On Early Problems In WWE, Initial Idea For Highlight Reel, Drugs, Steve Austin Story
Pro wrestling great Chris Jericho stopped by 317 Gimmick Street for a conversation with WWE Hall Of Fame Steve Austin. Among many other things, Jericho talked about the first time he met Austin, his transition to WWE from WCW, his original concept for the Highlight Reel, and how he was able to avoid many of the trappings of pro wrestling.
Jericho claimed that he first met Austin on a plane while he was still in WCW and Austin was in WWE.
"I met [Austin] on a plane one time and [Austin] gave me the greatest line of all time." Jericho continued, "no, [Austin was not rude]. It was a great line! I was walking on the plane. It was one of those rare moments when you would see WWE and WCW on the same plane. And [Austin] walked by me and [Austin] said, 'hey'. I only knew Steve Austin. I was like, 'hey,' he was like, 'hey, there's a gay guy on the plane.' I said, 'really?' He goes, 'yeah, give me a kiss and I'll tell you who it is.'"
Apparently, Jericho faced a very difficult transition from WCW to WWE. The self-described 'Man Of 235 Holds' admitted that he did not even know what bumping and feeding a comeback meant when he arrived at Titan Tower.
"I came in as a heel, so I had no problem." Jericho recalled, "I didn't know you weren't supposed to talk s--t about The Undertaker in a promo or talk bad about Steve Austin in a promo! That's what heels do to babyfaces! Right? But I learned very quickly that that's not what heels do when they first come in. I had no idea! Nobody ever taught me that in WCW. They didn't even tell me how to bump and feed a comeback. I had been in WCW for three years and I had no idea what that even meant as crazy as it sounds right now."
During the inteview, Jericho explained that he realized early on in WWE that he could change people's opinions of him by working well with mid level talents.
"I knew I can't win with [Triple H] and DX." Jericho remembered, "and Rocky was always cool and [Austin] was in and out. [Austin was] always on your own, but [he was] always cool to me. But what I did was I worked really hard always, but I knew if I could get over with the bullpen, with the mid level guys, that would bleed up to the top. Bob Holly, those type of guys, JBL, Bradshaw at the time, working with those types, Rikishi, having great matches night after night, after night, with those guys, where I was programmed, word gets around, 'hey, that guy's not an asshole. You guys are talking s--t about him, but he's really good and he's a really good guy.' That really helped to alleviate some of the tension that was there."
According to Jericho, his original idea for the Highlight Reel was to provide a forum for impromptu interviews with underutilized talent.
"My initial idea was learning from one of the greatest, I don't know what you would call him, backstage interviewers, was Gene Okerlund who could lead you through a backstage promo even if you didn't know what you were doing. Right?" Jericho added, "my idea when I started the Highlight Reel was I wanted to be the Gene Okerlund, have guys that didn't get promo time, and let me do an improv promo. Let's see what they've got. Of course, that did not fly with Vince. He wanted an actual promo segment with top level guys."
On the subject of drugs and the pitfalls of the road, Jericho indicated that he stayed away from opioids because drugs never interested him. While Jericho experimented with so-called magic mushrooms, his drug of choice remains alcohol, as he enjoys to drink it in, man.
"I was never interested." Jericho considered, "I don't do drugs. Why would I want to do drugs? And I just never started with any of that. I never did any of the pills even back in Calgary [Canada] and Mexico, guys that I'd hang with would do all the pills. I just didn't! I don't know why. Still to this day, I've never done cocaine in my life. Never! I just never had the desire to for whatever reason. No. Never once. Yeah, I mean, I did 'shrooms and that sort of scene and that sort of thing. I just liked having a drink. The guys I ran with just liked to have a drink."

Ivory (Lisa Moretti) Interview.
The newly named WWE Hall of Famer Ivory a.k.a. Lisa Moretti gave comments
to ESPN on today's announcement.
On what being inducted means to her:
"[This Hall of Fame recognition] means that it's a full circle in your career, in your wrestling chapter. It's great bragging rights for your family that have seen you go through the eras and I also feel like it's an awesome tribute to the women in wrestling as a whole."
On the excitement Ivory feels for the ceremony:
"I liken it to almost getting married, it's my wedding day, which I've never had one, so, this is probably as close to a wedding production as I'll ever get," Ivory said. "Hair and makeup, I will be speaking my vows -- with regards to my wrestling career -- to all these people I adore and love and we want it to all happen without a hitch."
On making the cover of Entertainment Weekly in 1999 with Steve Austin to promote the success of Smackdown on UPN
"I don't think either one of us at the time knew what an honor that was -- to be having her (photographer Mary Ellen Mark) take our photograph," Ivory said. "That was a highlight for me -- it's small because it's not taking bumps or a big pay per view event or a big championship, but that was one of those amazing sidebar things that I got to do."
On what Ivory thinks about the worldwide appeal women's wrestling now has:
"Women who decide to wrestle are a special type of women. We are tomboys, we are women that can hang in a locker room. I am just grateful that there are outlets for that," she said. "It's not about having a certain body type and looking picture perfect beautiful. It's about having the drive and some kind of wacky attraction you have to the physicality, the test of learning how to wrestle and being to do it believably. It's not easy theater to do. You can watch plenty of wrestling matches where the performers are not buying it. And it makes it boring for you to watch. There is a huge testament to the talent of the people who are engaging the fan or viewer."
Ivory loves the idea of the Performance Center and the training of young talent:
"I am a perfect example of somebody who'd have benefited from much more training before I got to be on TV. I have always been lousy at my craft and a lot of people are watching all over the world,"
And Ivory says this about Vince McMahon:
"I always felt embraced by the family. I didn't chat with Vince McMahon all the time, but he always gave me great opportunities. I always felt like I had his seal of approval like, 'Yeah, give it to Ivory, she will do it right,'" she concluded.

Insert your own wise crack here. James Ellsworth challenges NWA Worlds Champion Nick Aldis
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bes65fJ-_K0
Published on Feb 12, 2018
The Aldis Crusade with Ten Pounds of Gold kicked off when James Ellsworth was chosen by Austin Idol to face Nick Aldis. This unlikely challenger is best known for being the valet for Carmella, his matches against Braun Strowman and Becky Lynch, but it’s victories over AJ Styles that brought him to the Aldis Crusade. The underdog competitor made his nwa debut yesterday at Championship Wrestling From Hollywood as he fit the criteria set forward by Nick Aldis and Austin Idol on who could be the first challenger for the Ten Pounds of Gold
The Aldis Crusade will see the NWA Champion Nick Aldis (or whoever defeats Aldis) go forth to defend the Ten Pounds of Gold over twenty times over the next sixty days. Reaction to James Ellsworth being chosen has brought a flood of response and opinions on his worth as challenger. Austin Idol defended the choice stating that Ellsworth’s resume while eclectic does fit the criteria.

Was told about this old screwjob McMahon had done (I remember the match though)
With all the talk in recent weeks about the screwjob in the 1997 Survivor Series match with Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels of late, Vince McMahon's first screwjob on a big scale is on the WWE network under Home Video Classics on "Grand Slams," at the 12:45 mark, as they showed the Wendi Richter vs. Spider Lady (Fabulous Moolah) finish from Madison Square Garden where Richter had the title taken from her without being told ahead of time, and then Richter quit the promotion and never returned until being put in their Hall of Fame.
(I never knew about Wendi not being told ahead of time, that one is news even for me, lol) I'm now wanting to know the back story on that).
