10 Things You Need To Know About Chris Jericho's New Book

5. He Has Built Up A Close Friendship With Vince McMahon

There are all kinds of mentions of Vince McMahon in the book, which is great because we really don't know the creative side of Vince. We can watch his shows all we want, but unless you're there with him (and we aren't) then you have no idea what he's really going to be like. In Jericho's second book called Undisputed you could see how their relationship developed. Chris really had to prove himself to Vince in a lot of ways, but once he earned that trust you could see how much Vince believed in him. Once Chris got that trust, his career took off. It just took a while for it to come. It also makes you understand why some guys get big pushes and then they fade away. It's probably because they have a tough time grasping what Vince wants from them. There are many times where Chris' exchanges with Vince are funny. They joke around a lot, which is another sign of respect. There are also instances where Vince shows Chris tough love in the sense that he has to tell him no for certain things even though Chris pushes him hard on it. What's obvious about their relationship is that Chris really isn't afraid to say anything to Vince about making his character better or making a storyline work. He always does a great job of explaining his point of view. Clearly, that's something that Vince respects about him. It makes you understand why they have such a tight bond and a friendship that will last forever. It also allows Chris to come back and leave when it fits his schedule because Vince trusts him so much.
