Podcast host Chris Jericho challenges his guests in provocative, candid conversations about their careers, their lives, past controversies and the overall state of WWE. The monthly series kicks off Monday, April 6 immediately following Raw, with its first one-hour episode featuring WWE Superstar John Cena.
Unlike the Steve Austin Show episodes that aired on the Network with Vince McMahon and Triple H, this is scheduled to be a monthly program.. Interesting to note the timing of this announcement comes at the same time it was reported that Vince and Austin are at odds with one another again. While Jericho probably isn't going to take an oppositional stance on an issue in the same vein as Stone Cold would (not that he truly did either), his interviews on Talk Is Jericho tend to have a little more free-flowing conversational feel to them, so this isn't a step down for WWE where they're "settling" for the #2 wrestling podcast host. In fact, Chris almost always has a compelling interview subject while The Texas Rattlesnake spends more episodes than not answering emails and telling stories solo. It'll be interesting to see how Y2J balances the monthly show on the Network where he'll obviously be talking to current talent on the roster while continuing to try and book those guests for his Podcast One shows, which are usually the most listened-to episodes.
