Chris Jericho has suggested that he may skip his WWE Hall of Fame induction.

The Fozzy front-man, who is currently on a wrestling hiatus, is quoted as saying in Aesthetic Magazine: "If it happens, I probably wouldn’t show up."

He went on: "I don’t like these big pomp and circumstance things like retirement matches, and everybody kissing your ass telling you how great you are, because I know how great I am, so I don’t need people telling me that."

We can probably go ahead and take out the if it happens qualifier, since Jericho - as the first-ever Undisputed Champion and a WWE employee for close to two decades - is more or less there already.

But it would be a shame if we didn't get a Y2J acceptance speech, particularly after seeing Kurt Angle wow this year's crowd by necking a pair of milk bottles.

Luckily, Kevin Owens' former best friend didn't close the door on an appearance completely, adding: "I’ll show up, maybe, depends how I feel."

Given how much Jericho loves a surprise return, you can probably expect him to come out at the very last second (and then stand at the podium and say absolutely nothing).
