A solid chunk of the reason why Chris Jericho is back and forth to WWE so often isn't so much his crossover rock star appeal. More likely than anything, it's in Jericho's ability to excel in time management between being a rock star, podcaster, father and husband plus semi-active pro wrestler that endears him to the company. WWE is far more than a "rasslin" brand these days. If you're a performer complaining backstage about having to balance an autograph signing, doing a few radio interviews, hitting the gym and tanning bed then having a great match, seeing Chris Jericho do that and ten times more is probably a great way to quell superstars complaining backstage.
